Women across the world have been leaning on the power of mood-enhancing fashion for the past few months now, and this sense of sartorial delight and experimentation is set to have a lasting impact on our closets. Take tie-dye, for example. Until recently, it was rarely seen outside the context of skate wear or ’70s-inspired costumes. However, this season, Paco Rabanne – the French fashion house that has seen a masterful revival under the direction of Julien Dossena – has reinvented the playful print. Head-turning and heartening, consider the brand’s tie-dye slogan tee the jumping-off point for myriad enviable outfits. Tap into tie-dye’s Cali-cool-girl connotations by pairing yours with double denim, sporty sandals and a delicate dusting of gold jewelry; perfect for sunny days spent with friends. Alternatively, if it’s a more elevated look you’re after, let tie-dye enliven your tailored separates. Styled with wide-leg pants and a perfectly cut blazer, this unlikely match makes for a winning combination.
