JANUARY is often considered the ideal time for a much-needed wardrobe clearout, as we seek to refresh and reorganise our clothes. With the month widely regarded as the most dreary of the year, some turn to the concept of dopamine dressing, using bright, bold, mood-boosting outfits to help combat the January blues and inject some much-needed joy into our lives.

If you’re tired of wearing the same clothes day in and day out, it might be time to inject some brighter colours into your everyday wardrobe and rediscover the joy of dressing!. If you want to dip your toe in first, then adding a bright accessory is a great way to inject some colour without fully committing.

Or, if you’re like Abby, our Deputy Fashion Editor, and already embrace some colours, why not go for a head-to-toe look?. Need a little inspo? Our Fabulous fashion team have pieced together their dopamine-boosting outfits to bring a touch of joy to the first month of the year.

I wouldn’t say I wear bright shades often, but I’m trying to embrace the trend more as dopamine dressing is proven to work. I love red accessories and fell in love with this jumper from Albaray when I saw it - so fingers crossed each time I put it on, it has the same effect.

I’m also loving these butter-yellow barrel jeans from River Island, as the colour is muted and on-trend. I know it's not the boldest colour in the world, but pairing with tones of brown brings the look together and creates a polished outfit. Plus, the trainers add pattern and a nod to the animal-print trend.
