Something very \u201990s<\/a> is sneaking its way back into fashion \u2014 and you may already have a closet full of it.<\/p>\n

The DIY trend that once ruled summer camps, school projects and sleepovers is suddenly having a major moment again, with about 1 million U.S. Google searches a month, up 20% year over year.<\/p>\n

Even better? New sales data shows Americans aren’t just searching for the nostalgic style. They’re actually buying it again.<\/p>\n

For anyone who grew up in the \u201990s, tie-dye wasn’t just something you bought. You made it yourself \u2014 at summer camp, during a school project or at home with a white shirt and a questionable amount of dye.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere’s something very nostalgic about tie-dye because, for a lot of Americans, their first experience with it wasn’t buying something from a store. It was making it themselves,\u201d Abby Rafer<\/strong> of Free Spirited Clothing said.<\/p>\n

Tie-dye has gotten a modern makeover, with pastel, earth-tone and more understated designs now competing with the classic psychedelic look.<\/p>\n
