Dopamine dressing – have fun with colors!
Outfits in colors of the rainbow, candy-colored handbags, pastel shoes, neon accessories… This is the new trend for 2022! Dress cheerfully and colorfully, and above all, dress to boost your mood.
That’s exactly what dopamine dressing is – an effective color therapy and a huge shift in the world of fashion. This year, vivid colors and unusual material combinations will be all the rage. Choose the biggest hit of the season – an outfit that will arm you with lots of energy, give you self-confidence, and improve your mood.
Fine feathers make fine birds
It has been proven that inadequately matched clothing may deepen stress, worsen your well-being, and lower your self-esteem. Therefore, try to replace depressing and dark colors with something more cheerful, and go for a comfortable cut while you’re at it. Even the most elegant black won’t improve your mood the way a comfortable outfit in the colors of happiness would! Clothing is like your second skin, that’s why you should take care of it, add energy to it, and ensure its comfort throughout the day. This doesn’t mean you immediately have to put on a carmine-colored dress. An accessory to enliven your ensemble will suffice – a handbag in a non-standard shape, some colorful earrings, or feminine pink lingerie… It’s about feeling self-confident and joyfully pulling through everyday life.
The healing power of colors
Dopamine dressing is strictly linked to chromotherapy, i.e. healing with colors. This method was successfully used in treating depression as far back as ancient times. The only difference is that now you’re wearing the colors instead of just looking at them. The dopamine levels in your brain will rise when you adequately – for yourself – combine the hues, textures of clothes, and accessories. For example, red adds energy and motivates you to to take action, yellow and orange induce joy, and green is tranquil and calming.
How to combine colors?
It’s easy. Start with the color wheel. Colors that are located next to each other, like orange and red for instance, will look good together. Those that are positioned opposite each other – like yellow and blue – will give you more contrasting combinations. Bold mixes and crazy accessories are the main idea of dopamine dressing. If you’re just beginning your fun with colors, go for a total look, i.e. a monochromatic outfit. Pair clothes in the same color, just changing their hues and fabrics. Unthinkable in the past, today such outfits are impressive and eye-catching. They’ll make you feel so attractive!
Lingerie in colors of the rainbow
Also, allow yourself some craziness when it comes to the choice of lingerie. If you normally wear classic black panties and a white bra without underwires, try to change it. Dopamine dressing also – or mostly? – applies to lingerie. Go for models that you typically don’t wear. Pick something new that you’ve always wanted to have but were never brave enough to buy. You’ve never worn a teddy before? Invest in a red model with lace adornments – a bold accessory that alluringly emphasizes feminine assets. And if you’re in the mood for lingerie in an intense summer color of the sea, check out the Bluellia set. Paired with contrasting red, it will stimulate your brain even more to produce the happiness hormone.
Give yourself some energy!
Dopamine dressing is an incredible fashion trend whose main idea is to listen to yourself. Choose the clothes you feel good in. Wear as many hues, cuts, and designs as you need in a given moment, without worrying what others will think. Change your attitude, find your individuality. Create your own style. Have fun with fashion! Play with colors. Recharge your batteries with a light and happy outfit.
