Perhaps you have seen this trend pop up on your social feeds? Dopamine outfits mix prints, stripes and graphic tees and loads of colour. It feels like a breath of fresh air compared to years of beige neutral safe outfits. Dopamine dressing reminds me of when fashion blogging just started and we were mixing florals and stripes. But this time around it is looser, more casual and fun.
Dopamine Dressing
- Printed skirt – bold prints are a great way to embrace dopamine dressing. I would pair this skirt with a tshirt in the purpley shade from the print. Or maybe stripes?
- Lobster Tee – a graphic tee is a must have for dopamine dressing. Extra points if you get it oversized in a bold contrasting colour.
- Stripe trousers – a bold striped trouser is a must have for dopamine dressing. It doesn’t have to be in a colourful shade but it helps!
- Ric Rac trousers – Ok so these pants aren’t colourful but they are bold with the ric rac trim. These would be a great base to pair with something equally bold.
- Gold sneakers – instead of going with white sneakers go with something bolder. Gold is a great way to get some glitz. I have these in silver and they are very comfy.
- Sunshine sunglasses – These are a great option to top off the whole look. They have a sunny fun vibe.
- Stripe basket bag – This just goes with the whole look doesn’t it? It has stripes and colour so definitely a must add. Customizable version here.
- Stripe top – Whether you add this top as a stripe on stripe look, or with a bold floral print it works. Honestly I think it would work with the skirt or the stripey trousers in this round up.
So what is the formula for the dopamine dressing trend? Lots of bright colours, print mixing, stripes and bold fun accessories. But in reality dopamine dressing just means wearing clothes that make you happy. Colour makes many people happy but it might not work for you. So make sure you wear the things in your closet that make you happy and spike your dopamine instead of dressing for the way you think you are supposed to because of outdated fashion rules.
