Tie-dye went from hippie to hip in Matthew Williamson's Spring '08 collection [1]. The designer breathed life into his mini dresses by smattering the '70s-defined print in a combination of black and bright pink. Yum! Lucky for those who can't afford Matthew Williamson anything, and are too lazy to create it from scratch, there's a cheaper alternative just waiting to be worn.

To see the look for less,

Of course, nothing can compare to Matthew Williamson's tie-dye job, but this Asos Unique Boutique Silk Dip Dye Chain Dress [2] ($98) comes pretty close. It has the same tie-dye slash ombre effect and uses a similar pink. If you still crave some black in the mix, throw on black accessories. Now you're good to go with no scruffy hippie in sight!
