Autumn is here. You may find many people on the street wearing brown clothes. This is a fashion style called “Maillard（美拉德）style”.
This dressing style got ideas from cooking. Have you ever watched your mom or dad cooking steak（牛排）? The steak turns from red to brown. In 1912, French scientist Maillard found the reason behind the change. People named this brown colour after the scientist. The Maillard style has different kinds of browns, such as the red brown and the dark brown. These brown colours make people think of hot, tasty food. They can feel warmer on cold days.
If you think brown looks a little boring（无聊的）, you can try another style called “dopamine（多巴胺）dressing”. It is one of the most popular fashion styles these two years. First created（开创）by American fashion psychologist Dawnn Karen in 2020, it means dressing in bright colours. Dopamine is a chemical（化学物质）which can make you feel happy. And bright colours, such as red and yellow, can cheer you up.
Some bright colours may not go well with each other. To play it safe, you can try these tips.
• Try not to mix too many colours at a time. Three or four is fine.
• Put some white or grey to your dressing. They can make bright colours look more elegant（优雅的）.
• Try some contrasting（对比的）colours, such as red and green, blue and orange, purple and yellow.
