We’re seeing a massive rise in vibrant, contemporary styles this summer as more people experiment with dopamine dressing; a sartorial practice for mood lifting that entails dressing in alignment with your inner self. For many people, this looks like wearing bright colours and eye-catching designs, which is why fashion has become increasingly punchier, with maximalist styles.
