Dopamine dressing is the real body of summer
What is fashion? There is a famous scene in "Triangle of Pathos": the same models, when posing Balenciaga, look cold as frost, and the next second, switch to H&M, their faces immediately overflow with joyful smiles.

Yes, fashion is another word for distance a lot of the time. Happy, warm, warm, those things are too soft. Fashion is cold and hard, with those subtle prejudices and those subtle spikes that are not easy to detect but cannot be ignored.
But for ordinary people, not serving this cold fashion is also a choice.
Recently, I especially like to look at dopamine outfits. What a name - dopamine, the most precious touch of honey and milk in the brain. The momentary tremor of happiness when it is secreted in neurotransmitters relies on dopamine.
Dopamine never pretends to be a ghost, it's always straightforward: a bite of almond muffins after a shower, a warm afternoon of sunshine. The truth of dopamine is that as long as you treat your body well, it will come as expected.

What is Dopamine Outfit? It's actually very simple, that is, wearing clothes that make people feel happy. It is to use oversaturated colors, that is, to use pleasant, exciting, loose colors to resist the fashion of only black, white and gray.
I don't know if you noticed it, people in colorful clothes always seem to be in a good mood, like a little rebellion of their souls.
Yes, when most people on the local iron are confined to minimalist or solid formulas, the girls in chaotic clothes are really like happy particles in the carriage, decorating this sometimes gray world with some uninvited happy air.
For example, several bloggers who love to watch recently seem to be taking the route of dopamine dressing. Surfing the Internet during the rest period of work, what the eyes want is such visual candy, hearty and happy.
Riley Rodriguez is a blogger who feels well-dressed but super pretty. She looks like a cold fairy, and her expression always has a childlike funny. The photos are also almost all in the blue sky and sun, and when you look at it, it is like basking in the sun with her.

I like to see her wearing colorful clothes, and when I brush it on social platforms, I do feel that dopamine is surging in the skull.
She likes to layer some bright pieces with a very vintage feel, old jerseys, second-hand band short sleeves, but in her there are two words: reasonable. Because she feels like an urban wandering elf from an old cartoon.
Looking at Riley's outfit, I feel that those rules about fashion can be discarded. Who says there can only be three colors on a person? Who said Grandma's hand-knitted socks were fashionable insulators? If there must be a rule in fashion, it is to wear clothes that make your soul feel relaxed and comfortable.

Another particularly well-dressed was Lindsay Vrckovnik. Oh my God, if winter hadn't passed, every one of her colorful knits would have made you want to own it. Ms. Lindsay should have started practicing dopamine before it became popular, and she felt that her wardrobe should be wonderful, all in the same delicious bright colors as the candy shop.
She really dares to wear it, and often puts some large areas of color, goose yellow skirts and blue sweaters on her body. Our dopamine girls have to be like this, the walking palette must let the whole street of sunlight shine on themselves.

Lindsay's photos are often everyday as if telling us that even if you just go to the supermarket to buy advent bread, you can wear a rainbow on your body and carry it with you.

After seeing more dopamine outfits, I suddenly thought of Zheng Xiuwen in "Summer Mo Mo Tea". Her clothes in the movie, although not so bright, still shimmer with the warm charm of nostalgia in the millennial soft light filter. Isn't the so-called dopamine outfit this fashionable that makes people feel happy and unrestrained from the heart?
Zheng Xiuwen can dress too comfortably! Everyone who has seen "Summer Mo Mo Tea" should not forget her delicate collarbone under the yellow-orange suspenders, looking at the stills and feeling that she was blown to the distant sea breeze of the early millennium, and the humid feeling in the air.
Beautiful clothes and people are all fresh, and the points of light transmitted from the video recorder more than 20 years ago still reflect the aura of that time today.

Where Zheng Xiuwen dresses cutely is that she really dresses like a colorful islander. Whether it is a wide-brimmed hat, or a flowery green turban and scarf, it is enough tropical persuasion.
Her dopamine fashion is never too strong, always stays at the sweetest level, giving people just right, summery surprises.

In fact, the so-called dopamine outfit, in Houmai's movies, is also a beautiful clue that often appears.
"Female Collector" is good-looking. I remember watching it on a dull and bitter summer afternoon, and such a large period of leisure time is best for nagging French movies. But no matter how drowsy people are, when they see the heroine wearing a bright green knitted vest, they will also be completely sleepy.

When everyone talks about French style today, it seems that they can't avoid discussing the restraint of French women in color and shape, as if talking about French women, except that their lips are red, the rest will be blurred in a black, white and gray background. But in fact, the French woman in Houmai's movie dares to wear it.
This knitted vest, from any angle, is not the perfect dress. It makes the girl's skin appear slightly dull, and the upper body is inevitably a little thick because of the fabric.
But these imperfections are made cute by their color, like a puppet cat whose hair turns gray because of play.

The women in Hou Mai's movies always seem to have such a playful atmosphere. When watching "Girlfriend's Boyfriend", I also found that the young people in the film were all dressed brightly, and the colors gave a sense of humor.

The ambiguous young people in "Girlfriend's Boyfriend" wear clothes that are as transparent and radiant as their minds.
Royal blue, ochre red, denim blue, lemon yellow, in the light spots between the woods and the windows, form pleasing fragments of color.

Therefore, learning to wear clothes in Hou Mai's movies is quite reliable. No, the dopamine outfit that began to be nagged by everyone in 2023, the old man has cunningly used it in the last century, so that every frame releases happy dream particles.
In fact, I am very happy that dopamine clothing has become popular again. The daily life is always trivial, but beautiful, bright clothes are the part of the ordinary that transcends the inertia of life.
Many people may say -- dopamine dressing, this concept is not new enough. But that's what's interesting about pop culture, combining old concepts with new inspiration. Let clothes serve the brain, and let color convey a pleasant substrate.
▲ Fashion is a circle, dopamine wearing was a classic popular style in the 70s of the last century
Who says fashion belongs only to smart and rigorous people? For dopamine girls, beautiful clothes never need to be calculated, and happiness is the only focus.
So, this summer, would you want to wear a little more color?
