The way we perceive ourselves influences what we wear and vice versa. So if you want to be happier or improve your mood on a difficult day, start by looking at your outfit and your wardrobe.
It’s no coincidence that there are moments when we feel like changing our style or completely revamping our look during certain periods.
The body and mind are in constant communication, and how we care for one will undoubtedly affect the other.
In other words, dressing in a certain way can have positive effects on our mood.
Here’s why and how to do it.

How to Improve Your Mood and Become Happier by “Changing Your Outfit”
Pay Attention to What You Wear
If you’re feeling down and about to grab clothes of the same color from your wardrobe, just take note of it.
You don’t necessarily have to change what you’re going to wear, but be mindful of how you’re dressing.
The clothes you choose might not be flattering your body, but rather hiding it.
Only by recognizing how our mood influences our clothing choices can you take control of this dynamic.
Use Clothes for What You Need
The next step is to use clothes based on how you want to feel and what you want to convey.
Feeling sad? Add a red or brightly colored accessory, and you’ll feel more powerful.
Have a work meeting and want to be memorable? Wear an elegant suit and statement earrings.
Remember, your look communicates as much as the words you use.
Playing with your image can instantly improve your mood.
Fashion Allows Playfulness
It allows you to feel like a famous manager one day or a femme fatale the next.
If you learn to use this power, you’ll realize you can be whoever you want, whenever you want, and change your mood and self-confidence accordingly.
Who would you like to resemble tomorrow? How could you dress to fit that role?
If You Want to Be Happier, Be Bold!
To improve your mood, look for a piece of clothing, an accessory, or a detail that can raise the stakes.
Wear something different from your usual, chosen carefully, and that will cheer you up.
With the new season, for example, you could invest in a yellow, fuchsia, or orange bag that adds a touch of glamour and fun to your outfit.
