Few Simple Wardrobe Tweaks

Could a few simple wardrobe tweaks be the key to a more confident you?

Have you ever felt a certain spring in your step when you walked out the door in a new dress for the first time? Well, it’s not just your imagination – it’s due to a very real scientific phenomenon.

Known as ‘enclothed cognition’, it’s all about the way clothes affect how we think and feel. In other words, a few changes to your wardrobe might not just improve your self-expression – it could also lift your confidence and overall mood.

THE FEEL FACTOR

If you’ve ever vegged out in trackies after a bad day, science says you’re not alone. In one study, 57 per cent of women revealed they were far more likely to pop on a baggy top when they felt depressed, and 10 times more likely to wear one of their favourite dresses when they were happy.
