When we think of tie-dye, we automatically envision the spiral, mandala, and peace sign, as well as some bright bold colors. It is one of the more identifiable pieces of clothing from the hippie movement. This creation is yet another product of the psychedelic imaginings of ’60s hippies. They gave everything the tie-dye treatment, from shirts to gowns and jeans to anything else that could be worn. Tie-dyeing was not only seen as a cost-effective measure, but an easy way to give clothes a fresh, new look.
