If fashion had a mood ring, June would constantly be wearing neon, sorbets, and zesty bights.
As summer approaches its zenith in many parts of the world, we enter the season of dopamine dressing, where colors are more than just hues, but emotions. This June, from Copenhagen to Paris, bold, spicy, and juicy colors are dominating wardrobes.
But why?
Let's break it down using color theory, fashion psychology, and a pinch of margarita salt.
Why Bright Colors Feel So Right in June
The psychology behind bold summer outfits
According to color theory in fashion, hues like:
- Red ignites energy and confidence
- Yellow sparks joy and attention
- Orange boosts warmth and enthusiasm
These colors act like the extroverts of the color wheel- loud, radiant, and made for connection.
And in June, we naturally gravitate towards them for the same reasons we crave mangoes, lime sodas, or beach sunsets:
We want to feel fresh, alive, and seen.
