Tie dye is having a moment in 2020, but the dyeing
process will grow with the general interest in
sustainability. Youtube videos have popped up with
tutorials on using natural dyes at home to help people
incorporate them into their daily lives. This will accelerate
interest in purchasing naturally-dyed clothes as well.

9. The past few years have brought us vibrant
neons, rainbows, and everything unicorn. The
'20s will show the pendulum swinging back and
embrace the calm joyous colors. 2022 will bring
a post-COVID calm celebration. People will be
testing the waters of what it means to be
normal, but still wanting to keep the slowed-
down and calm life that social distancing and
isolation once brought. The instagrammable
moments move from extravagant colorful foods
to the calmer lifestyle of homemade baking,
picnics, and nature.

11. Manuka
Honey
Manuka honey is used to calm and cleanse the skin. The color
itself matches the calming tones of buttercream, and the
products match the natural and calming effects that customers
crave. There has been debate over the benefits of natural
skincare vs chemical, but manuka honey is a natural product that
blends well with chemical and will become more mainstream.
