EVENTSSeasonal Style: Fit to Be Tied
Tie-dye! Yep, it’s back — but this time, it’s all grown - up (so don’t bust out that old neon t-shirt just yet). This summer, the fun-filled pattern is appearing on luxe fabrics and in ladylike silhouettes — meaning you can easily incorporate it into your wardrobe, whether you’re lounging at the Shore or dining in the city.
