Winter often is cloaked in shades of grey, black, and beige, but why should your wardrobe reflect the season’s subdued palette?

 This is where the concept of dopamine dressing steps in—a psychological trend that’s taken the fashion world by storm. Rooted in the idea that wearing bright, joyful colours can elevate your mood, dopamine dressing is about dressing to feel good.

Think sunny yellows for a breath of sunshine, fiery reds for energy, or even monotones for a bold statement. With a few colourful tweaks, your winter wardrobe can become a source of joy and self-expression, no matter how frosty it gets.

If you're hesitant to step away from your trusty neutrals or not sure where to start, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. From bold jewel tone dresses to playful prints, here’s how to brighten up your look and embrace the magic of colour this winter with Splash.

Say yes to statement jackets

Goodbye old black or grey jackets. A bold statement jacket in fire-engine red, a rich emerald, or even a playful pastel is what you need to instantly transforms any look. It’s like shouting, “Yes, it’s winter, but I’m still fabulous!” Add a touch of texture with faux fur or metallic finishes, and you’ll not only keep the cold at bay but also turn heads while you’re at it.

Layer with colours

Winter layering is basically an excuse to pile on all your favourite pieces—so why not throw in some colour while you’re at it? Start with a bright turtleneck, toss on a jewel-toned cardigan, and top it off with a scarf in an unexpected hue. Layers don’t just keep you warm—they let you mix and match shades like you’re creating your own wearable masterpiece. Plus, if you ever get too warm indoors, peeling off a layer reveals yet another fabulous pop of colour underneath. Win-win!

Character Tees for a shade of fun

Pull out those quirky character tees—your favourite cartoon, a cheeky slogan, or a nostalgic pop-culture nod—and layer them under oversized blazers or cozy cardigans. It’s the easiest way to bring a bit of personality to a chilly day. Bonus? They’re total conversation starters. “Wait, is that SpongeBob under your trench coat?” Yep, and he’s bringing in the fun.

Colour block like a pro

Ready to ditch the safe neutrals? Colour blocking is your new best friend. Pair a hot pink sweater with electric blue trousers or team a mustard coat with teal accessories. The trick? Pick bold colours that contrast but don’t clash

Prints and pattern

Florals for winter? Actually groundbreaking! Add some fun to your wardrobe with our vintage blooms or have fun with prints like polka dots, or even bold geometric designs. Mix them up—pair a plaid skirt with a striped scarf—or keep it subtle with one standout piece like a tulle-layered skirt in hot pink.

Colourful knits

We get it, you love sweater weather, but let’s add s colourful twist to your trusted knits. Bright, cozy knits are a game-changer, bringing warmth and energy to those frosty mornings. Think chunky cable knits, slouchy turtlenecks, or even a vibrant sweater dress. They’re like a warm hug, but you know… stylish and knitted with threads of happiness.
