Welcome to the latest twist on "dopamine dressing." Dua Lipa just dropped her Radical Optimism album and we couldn't help but think how the title is so in line with the spirit of fashion right now. In the perfect timing for the spring and summer ahead, a slew of happy trends has sprung up to give us all a much-needed dose of what we've dubbed "radical optimism dressing." From the dominance of maximalism to the arrival of boho 2.0, beautiful feminine skirts being spring's hero pieces and the welcome return of pastels, pretty florals, fanciful details like feathers, ruffles, embellishment and a riot of fun, bright colors and prints. Even this year's Met Gala theme "The Garden of Time" speaks to a fresh, blooming new mood in fashion.
