Colour & Texture: The Cute Side of Dopamine Dressing
The world has gone Barbie mad and it looks like the hot pink Barbiecore trend is here to stay! This welcome mood booster is all about embracing vibrant hues, but why stop at hot pink? This year, designers are throwing caution to the wind, adding a bright pallet to their collections to move us away from the traditional whites, blacks and nudes that so often take over our lingerie drawers.
On the subject of dopamine dressing, don’t underestimate the power of textures too. If you want to elevate your lingerie game, designs featuring lace, silk and tencel mean your underwear is super soft against the skin and would give cashmere a run for its money. Look out for textured collections at Uplifted Lingerie to start feeling super sleek as you go about your day.
