Lounge wear is the new black amid COVID-19 and tie dye is back, that’s for sure. Instead of splurging on a matching set though, you can easily make this a fun quarantine activity with sweats you already own or an inexpensive set online.
All you need is a pair of black or navy sweats and/or a sweatshirt, rubber bands, bleach and water. (You can also do this with white or light colored sweats but that will require colors to dye with.)
Take the pants and top and starting from one side, bunch up in your hands and then wrap off with the rubber bands. Keep going until you have a nice little bundle.
Take your bleach and water and mix it together one-to-one ratio in an old spray bottle.
Spray the rubber band areas and make sure to get in the crevices.
Let it sit for 15 minutes and then rinse. The key is to wait until the water rinses clear then you’re ready to wash them. Wash on cold with a little bit of detergent and dry per usual and voila! You have your own tie dye lounge set!
I’m going to try this weekend and I’ll report back — let me know if you have any other tips and tricks on social @TanyaRad and @OnAirWithRyan
