From Stone Island's advanced pigment dye techniques to handmade tie-dye tops, a surefire way to get an eye-catching final product is to experiment with different dyes and washes.
While your standard solid-color pieces make for great everyday essentials, a little uneven pigmentation is only going to bring added character to a garment — hence why vintage sellers will obsess over the wash on worn-in jeans and band shirts.
As we prepare our wardrobes for the upcoming summer and current transitional season, we've gone shopping for some of the most unconventional and innovative wash and dye treatments brands are giving to clothes.
Keep scrolling to find over-dyed knitwear, sun-faded workwear pants, and multi-color dyes that are bound to get heads turning.

Caps
With fabric treatments creating uneven coloration, these caps give the effect of being perfectly sun-faded and washed out over time.
That includes Diesel proving there's nothing it won't craft from denim, kebab-themed headwear from HO HO COCO, and everything in between.
Jackets
Picking out lightweight outerwear for the warmer months of the year, these jackets mostly borrow their classic shapes from the world of workwear. And, more specifically, from deep-pocketed chore coats.
Sweaters
From fisherman-style sweaters that look as though they've spent a long time at sea to the perfectly washed-out hoodie, these are every bit as cozy as your staple sweats but with a more experimental washed-out look.
T-Shirts
From the minimal to the uber-colorful, these shirts offer something different from your everyday Uniqlo shirt.
Summer is the season when your T-shirt selection's really put in the limelight, without being blocked by heavy layers, so why not cop options with a more distinctive fabric finish?
Pants
As you might have noticed by now, Diesel has perfected the art of experimental dyes with its spring/summer 2023 collection.
The selection of pants below includes another banger from the brand in the form of washed-out denim track pants along with more casual, wide-legged styles.
