What Is Dopamine Dressing?
The term ‘dopamine dressing’ was coined by fashion psychologist Dr Dawnn Karen. She suggests we usually dress for external factors rather than ourselves, like the weather, other people, and special events.[1]
Instead, focus on yourself and what makes you feel happy. Wear clothes that have positive meanings to you, whether it’s your lucky socks, that special item you save for occasions or dressing in your favourite colour. When you wear clothes you feel great in, your brain releases dopamine, which boosts your mood and confidence.

Wear Happy Hues
You can also give your brain a little dopamine boost by wearing bold, colourful clothing. Studies have found that people who wear more vibrant colours felt more confident and competent. Dr Dawnn Karen suggests that she has seen people who are normally very shy put on a colourful outfit and become fierce, fabulous, and free.[2]
Different colours have also been known to affect your mood. Cold colours like blue induce feelings of calmness and creativity, while warm colours like red can cause feelings of excitement and happiness.
