A stylist, mother of three and self-confessed expert on “dopamine dressing” has gained an online following of thousands by encouraging women to dress in bright colours to improve their mood and confidence.
When struggling with her mental health in lockdown, Kate Harrison, 42, who lives with her husband, Richard, also 42, and their three children, Charlie, 14, Will, 12, and Poppy, eight, found that one of the only things she could find joy in was her brightly coloured clothes. So she decided to be a stylist specialising in dopamine dressing, which she defines as influencing your mood positively through the way you dress, and has since posted her fluorescent outfits on Instagram urging her 10,000 followers to try “colour therapy”.
Even if Kate is just popping to the shops, she loves to embrace colour – day-to-day, she wears anything from a fluorescent purple dress paired with a bright pink cardigan to a green leopard print dress and matching heels. Kate has sat on panels at assessment centres to advise candidates on personal branding and often helps businesswomen find the perfect power suit – whether that be bright green or a vibrant blue – to help them radiate confidence.
