Is Sustainable Underwear The New Dopamine Dressing?

Today we are exploring the concept of power dressing with our favourite planet friendly lingerie brand of the moment, Scandale éco-lingerie.

We’re all familiar with the rise in popularity of “dopamine dressing” right? Dubbed a 2022 leading fashion trend by Pinterest and recently popularised by psychologist Dawnn Karen says we can use clothing to boost our mood everyday by choosing to wear colours that are bold and bright. We all know that our daily mood informs the way we dress, and more recently we’ve seen that pathway reverse engineered to use out outfit to inform the way we want to feel.

Using colours, textures and fabrics that make us feel a certain way, it’s clear that what we choose to dress our body in can have an overriding influence on our mood.

In more general terms, the rise of power dressing for both men and women has become a major trend and topic that’s discussed in the media. As eco-anxiety is on the up and up, new ways to influence our moods everyday has become a key trend and behavior seen in fashion. What we put on our bodies has the power to change our mindset for the better.

That got us thinking, can our underwear choices hold more power than we think? We’ve been doing our research and discovered Scandale éco-lingerie who prioritises people and planet, and more than that, celebrates empowering women to feel their best whilst making the world a better place. We’re not the only ones who think this. “Wearing nice quality underwear or lingerie sets boost our confidence and self-esteem, even if no one sees it,” said Carolyn Mair, a behavioral psychologist, author of “The Psychology of Fashion” and founder of psychology.fashion. “Feeling confident can make us appear more physically attractive because we tend to stand, walk, speak and gesticulate differently.”
She noted that confidence can make the content of what we say seem more persuasive and is associated with being perceived as sexy, “which, depending on our objectives, might also boost self-esteem and enhance mental wellbeing.” Wearing lingerie can evoke feelings of femininity, sexual liberation and power.
“The idea of wearing nice lingerie for yourself can actually have a really positive effect on our emotional state,” said consumer psychologist and Style Psychology founder Kate Nightingale.

Scandale éco-lingerie stands for a new generation of women who are building a better world. Scandale éco-lingerie stands for environmental sustainability, they hold circularity as a key principle, championing less carbon intensive solutions, holding ethics as a foundation, championing unfiltered transparency and traceability. What more could we ask for!
