Seen from the top trend sites such as accessories.com or wgsn.com and even MAGIC THE SHOW in Las Vegas, it is a gradual fading of rich color that recedes into white or black. The subtle shifting is a hard-to-achieve thing for everyday tie-dye enthusiasts, so I don't really see how ameture dip-dyeing is a part of this major trend because the streaking and obvious color seperations that happen in dip dyeing don't blend as subtly as French Ombre. The overall look is, to me, supposed to be very futuristic and chic, not hippie. This is just my two cents. So, when buying this trend, look for sleek, modern styled clothing with simple lines, minimal fabric and a nice graduated blend of one color into white or black.

But I can see where you're going with the 'hippie chic' look. Especially with some flat sandals and a headscarf or something. Too much tie-dye is a bad thing.
