Dopamine, known as the "source of pleasure", is a chemical released in the brain that makes you feel good. But do you know "dopamine dressing"? It is one of the hottest fashion trends ruling social media in 2023. Actually, dopamine dressing is one of the most popular fashion styles for 2023. Many people take this style to fight back bad feelings and show themselves.
First created by American fashion psychologist Dawnn Karen in her book Dress Your Best Life in 2020, dopamine dressing—to put it simply—is dressing for joy. It encourages people to choose colorful clothing so that they can get more dopamine and feel happier.
▲ According to Science Focus magazine, although there is no study about how colorful clothes can increase dopamine, there are studies showing a relationship between the clothes we wear and how we act and feel. One study showed that wearing red can lead to better physical performance. It found that in soccer matches over the last 55 years, teams with red clothes al-ways played better in home games than any other clothes color. Another study showed that wearing green can make people become more creative. Green has also been found to help people relax, likely because it reminds us of nature. Yellow, and its suggestions of summer and warmth, can bring people happiness, energy and excitement.
So why not try dopamine dressing? You can try one thing at a time. Here are some expert-backed tips and tricks:
●Bags: With black and white clothes, you can use a bright pink or green bag.
●Shoes: You can light up your dark clothes with a pair of red shoes.
●Socks: Colorful socks can make you look cute.
