Dopamine dressing

How to wear colour for different occasions

According to science adding more colour to our wardrobe can boost our mood and make us feel happier. We’ll walk you through the basics of how and when to wear this trend.

The office look

Have an important meeting to attend? A colorful power suit exudes confidence and authority. Opt for a bold colour like red or cobalt blue, and match with a pair of pointy heels. The perk of a sharp suit is that it’s versatile and can be split into separate looks – pair your blazer with jeans or slacks, and the suit pants with a white t-shirt or crisp shirt.

Another work wardrobe hero is the head-to-toe ensemble, for instance a top and a skirt in matching colour. Dress it down with a pair of sneakers and you’re good to go.

Occasion dressing

Attending a birthday party, wedding, or fun event? Dazzle the crowd in bright pastels, saturated sparkles, and fun colour pops. Dress like your favourite sunset by choosing colours like zesty orange, red and yellow – go for a sleek and silky number for an elevated feel.
Dare to go bold by mixing green sparkles and baby pink, or playful and girly with pastel pink and lavender. The best part about dopamine dressing is that there are no rules, except to have fun.

Monday to Friday chic

Never underestimate the power of a good outfit, and its ability to brighten your day. Bold colours add energy to your wardrobe, and acts as a natural mood booster. A great way to dress colourfully and still look put-together is to go monochrome and wear one colour head-to-toe. Why not pick one colour for each day of the week – Blue Monday, Pink Tuesday, or Lilac Friday?

The dinner date

First date, second date or just a regular dinner date with friends – you always want to make a good impression (not to mention a lasting one). Dress like your favourite Matisse painting by wearing vibrant primary colours of green, blue and red.
