Mood Boosting Style Tips

Beat the lockdown blues with our five easy tips for positive dressing

Whilst our world has been thrown upside down and we are all experiencing unprecedented challenges, we’re recommending you try 'dopamine dressing’ - the idea of dressing up in something fun that will lift your mood!

Lucy, the founder of Aspiga has put together some easy tips to try it out; from wearing bright, bold colours to popping on your favourite summer frock with a chunky knit. Digging into your wardrobe and having a styling day is a fun antidote to the lockdown blues, and something Lucy loves herself: "I've been living in my Jane Merino Wool Sweater, it's super soft and I love how cosy and happy it makes me feel."

See Lucy's styling tips below:

1. Dress For Yourself

Don’t wait for the spring to get your dresses out! Make a challenge to wear a dress every day and team with cosy knitwear or layer over a lightweight polo neck.

2. Colour Sparks Joy

When the sun isn’t shining outside, create your own light - wearing bright colours can bring a welcome change from the darker hues many of us gravitate to.

3. Wrap Up in Feel-Good Fabrics

Sustainable fabrics can bring comfort and excitement on even the drabbest days: bundle up in luxurious wool, go for walks in sustainable denim or attend Zoom meetings in organic cotton.
