Dopamine Dressing 2022: Jewellery That Makes You Feel Good
Over the past year, we’ve gone from wearing beige sweats to stylish colourful sets, and we’re totally here for it. Dopamine dressing has become a huge trend for 2022 and following the “look good, feel good” concept, this new trend helps you feel happiness through the clothes or jewellery you wear. Harness the power of feeling good through your jewellery with our guide on dopamine dressing.
What is dopamine dressing?
We all get that fuzzy feeling when we buy something new for ourselves, right? Well that feeling is known as ‘dopamine’ and its now being linked to not just buying new clothes and jewellery, but the colour, style, and texture of that particular product.
What are dopamine colours?
Here’s a fun fact: we have psychological connections to certain colours. Colour has been linked to emotions for as long as time (remember that time you felt ‘green with envy’?) only now, we’re showing it through our clothing and accessories. That doesn’t mean to say when you wear green, you’re envious – it’s more about what that colour means to you. So, if you associate your favourite green earrings with happiness, you will embody that feeling when you wear them.
Each colour has a different effect on every single one of us - after all, it’s about what makes you happy. But if we’re talking trends, the year 2022 has seen green, blue, orange and hot pink take the lead. From colourful rings to watches that wow, inject these bold, bright colours into your everyday look and watch your serotonin levels increase. Here’s how to style yourself happy…
We’re loving colourful rings
If your scroll down your Instagram lately, you’re bound to find plenty of chunky colourful rings - all thanks to the revival of the Y2K-inspired jewellery trend. From resin rings to bold bright gemstones, it’s all about making a statement, and we can’t get enough of it.
One brand that is channelling the trend perfectly is Gucci with their Link To Love collection. Designed to be stacked together for maximum style, the pink and green chunky rings are must-haves this summer. If blue is more for you, then our Silver Cubic Zirconia Blue Triple Row Ring combines colour with sparkle for the ultimate on-trend look.
Colourful earrings? We’re all ears
Move over for more mood-boosting hues and these new Vivienne Westwood Kika Aqua Stud Earrings. Known as the Queen of style, Vivienne Westwood jewellery boasts an iconic look that’s in a league of its own. We’re loving the different shades of blue in these studs!

Available in pink, green, purple or blue, they’re great for adding a touch of colour to your look no matter where you’re heading. We’ve paired our green and pink hoops together for a fun summer style, but which colour is your favourite?
It’s time for a watch that wows
A huge watch trend for 2022, we’re seeing more and more brands inject colour to their designs, with luxury watchmakers Breitling and Longines most recently boasting brightly-hued dials and straps. This new Breitling Superocean Turquoise 36 Automatic Ladies Watch blends nostalgia with a fresh, modern style for a diving watch you can surf with, swim with, and hit the beach bar with.
Standing out thanks to its very slim profile, bold colour and sparkling diamonds, orange is the new black with this Longines Elegance La Grande Classique Quartz Ladies Watch, and fits not only the colour trend, but the minimalistic watch trend too.
