After two years of living in loungewear, people are finally ready to get dressed up again — and they’re doing it with a bang.

All you have to do is look to our most stylish celebs to see the trend in action. Dua Lipa, Bella Hadid, and Olivia Rodrigo are all huge fans of dopamine dressing — and putting a Y2K spin on it, of course.
We’ve also seen some of our favorite TV characters rocking neons. Think Emily Cooper and Zoey Johnson.
