"Dopamine Dressing," what exactly is it?

Have you ever heard that participating in sports can make people happy? This is because exercise triggers the release of dopamine. Interestingly, there is a connection between dopamine and wearing vibrant, high-saturation outfits. Colors have a profound impact on our emotions and associated with feelings of pleasure and well-being

In the context of a gloomy environment, bright and highly saturated colors can indeed create a noticeable "contrast" with the atmosphere. Most people aspire to use creative aesthetics in their outfits to reconnect with and embrace the primal feelings of joy and happiness.

Here are three tips on dopamine dressing that can hopefully inspire you.

 

Combination of high saturation within the same color scheme.

Previously, different shades within the same color scheme are usually recommended. However, this blogger took a different approach by using different materials within the same color scheme. Although it involves using one color, the visual distinction becomes apparent due to the difference in materials.

 


Refer to classic color combinations.

High saturation colors can be combined without appearing abrupt when following this approach. When creating an outfit, carefully consider the distribution of color proportions and avoid a 50/50 split. Instead, aim for one color as the main focus and another color as a supporting element. This approach prevents visual clutter and maintains a cohesive appearance



Mix high-saturation colors together, often achieved through prints.

This approach, commonly known as patterns, is the easiest way to incorporate vibrant colors without having to put much thought into coordination.



Many people find that their favorite colors and actually incorporating them into their outfits are two completely different things. This summer, take the opportunity to embrace "dopamine dressing" by adding more clothes in your favorite colors to your wardrobe. Choose the colors that remind you of joyful moments, places, or people, and rediscover the feelings of confidence, happiness, and pleasure associated with them.
