Whenever I see a tie-dye shirt I automatically think of the hippie era and the Grateful Dead. Tie-dye was wildly popular during the 60’s and 70’s, and although it went out of style after the 80’s, it’s slowly making a fashionable comeback. Take these awesome boardshorts as an example. Created by Billabong, a company known for its stylish surf, skate and snow clothing, these shorts pay homage to the tie-dye generation.

Besides looking far out, these shorts are also eco-friendly. They’re part of Billabong’s Recycler Series, and each pair is made with 10 recycled 12 oz. plastic bottles. As an added bonus, when you purchase the shorts you get a container of surfboard wax remover that doubles as a bottle opener! I never knew that bottles could look so good.
