Clothes can boost confidence or bring comfort – follow our dopamine dress code to add a little joy to your day
Clothes should make you happy. If yours don’t, then you are getting fashion all wrong. I don’t much go in for style diktats, but I’m not budging on this one. Making you feel good about yourself is up there with keeping you warm and dry, and providing pockets to put your stuff in.
To use an on-trend expression: follow the science. It starts with colour. Studies suggest that yellow, pink and red have an uplifting, energising effect on our mood, while blue makes us feel calmer.

But I’m guessing you have clocked that over the course of the past nine months.)
