What colour do you like wearing? Do you know “dopamine dressing”(多巴胺穿搭)? It was one of the fashions in 2024. However, is there any science behind this?
“Dopamine dressing” was from the book Dress Your Best Life. American fashion psychologist(心理学家) Dawnn Karen wrote this book in 2020. In the book, “dopamine dressing” is about wearing colourful clothes to get more dopamine.
Dopamine is something in our brain. It makes us feel good. Our brain gives it out when we eat delicious food, play with our pets, listen to our favourite songs, win a game, or after we exercise.
In a science magazine, some studies showed a relationship(关系) between the colours of the clothes we wear and how we act and feel. One study found that wearing red can make it easier to take action. It also showed bright colours can make people feel active. One more study showed that wearing green can make people feel relaxed because it is the colour of nature. Yellow, the colour of summer, can bring people happiness. But there are some problems with these studies because people from different cultures have different ideas about dressing and colours.
In a word, “dopamine dressing” shows that we can wear colourful clothes to get more dopamine and feel good. Dressing is more than just fashion. It’s also a way of showing ourselves.
