Trends…they eb and flow. At times, muted colors are all the rage.
At other times, however, it seems the runways can’t get enough of the bright in-your-face colors, the bold prints, and the daring patterns. But who can really relate to runway models? I know I can't.
Still, pairing these statement pieces together, like a primal leopard print button up, a neon bomber jacket, and an unexpected pair of sneakers, creates an aesthetic that is nothing but eye catching.
Introducing dopamine dressing; it’s the idea of dressing to seek a positive outcome and an instant mood boost.
If you really want to expand your comfort zone, consider leaving those monotone, muted, earth-tones behind for a week, and experiment with mixing and matching items that can add some flair to your overall looks.
I like the idea of dopamine dressing, especially how it encourages self expression and empowerment, but even still I've always been a neutral colors kind of guy when it comes to my style. Simple, yet always effective.
Reader, what are you thoughts on dopamine dressing? Shoot me reply with your take on this wild trend.
