A little while back someone described G-Gee\u2019s style as \u201c Dopamine Dressing\u201d. I\u2019d heard it around a bit and decided to look into it \u2013 turns out it describes G-Gee\u2019s persona exactly!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s basically about wearing clothes that make you feel good in order to boost your mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve all got those favourite pieces in our wardrobe that make us feel extra great or remind us of a special event or person in our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check out the science behind this\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Dopamine Dressing?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you ever feel an extra special boost of confidence when you slip into your favourite outfit? It’s no secret that the clothes we wear can make us feel good, but why is that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It turns out that dopamine dressing is a real thing and it’s all thanks to the neurotransmitter dopamine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dopamine is a chemical in the brain that is associated with pleasure and reward. When we wear clothes that make us feel good, it triggers the release of dopamine in the brain, which gives us that extra boost of confidence and happiness. It’s like a little reward for taking the time to dress up and look our best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The connection between clothing and emotional well-being has been around for a long time. A 2012 study published by the University of Hertfordshire Press found a profound connection between mood and clothing, implying you should always go for what makes you feel good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So next time you’re getting dressed, why not choose an outfit that makes you feel great?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, How Do I Do This?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dopamine dressing is a simple way to add a little extra spark to your wardrobe.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. To start, pick out a few pieces of clothing that make you feel confident and comfortable. These pieces should be in colours and styles that you like and that make you feel good.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Next, accessorize! Add a bright hat<\/a>, statement necklace, or a bold belt. These pieces will add a pop of colour and personality to your outfit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Finally, pick out a pair of shoes that make you feel confident and stylish!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Boost It, Baby<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I\u2019ve noticed a surge in requests for clothing with bold prints and bright colours (like my new R<\/strong><\/a>ainbow dress<\/strong><\/a> \u2013 have you seen it yet!?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This trend is indicative of a shift in fashion preferences, as more and more people are looking for clothing that is eye-catching and stands out from the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
