Let’s get loud for the holidays. Research has shown if you want a natural dopamine kick in a monochrome world, treat yourself to a sensory symphony this festive season. We’re talking clothes, bags, accessories (and even fragrances) that shout and scream, grab your attention within nanoseconds, and linger in memory.
For the sense of sight, boost happiness in others by dressing in warm colors, and capture the hormone oxytocin in tones of blues and greens for serenity and peace. In terms of touch, take a Bottega Veneta napa leather shoulder bag and weave in some space-knit jersey, or slip on some copper tinsel mules that dazzle in the limelight by Dries Van Noten . Adorn the décolletage with semi-precious stones or textural costume jewelry, and bijoux the face with teardrop earrings with approval from Matthieu Blazy .
Clash your manicure clasping a hot-pink marabou feather clutch by Erdem, alternatively pump up the volume in a matching ’60s silk-taffeta gown. Anna Dello Russo once said, “Nothing succeeds like excess,” and in a world full of minimalists and carbon copies, it’s time to compose your own unique melody. Take a look at our maximalist picks for the season in the Vogue Philippines Holiday Issue.
