Building Positive Relationships Between Mental Health and Fashion

Is 10 October Mental Health Day a time to think about fashion?

Every year October 10 is World Mental Health Day. What we wear can certainly impact how we feel. Clothes can make us feel confident and good about ourselves. Fashion helps self expression and can make a statement. But we may also worry about body image or how fast fashion can damage the environment. At Velarof we believe the basics matter and all our underwear is thoughtfully designed with comfort and well being in mind. 

Can Autumn-Winter 2024 fashion trends boost my mood?

The good news is that colour is key in 2024’s Autumn-Winter trends. Catwalks are awash with mood boosting colours and bold creative statements. Fun and creativity can promote good mental health and are a great way to enhance your mood. Choosing vibrant shades and playful patterns are an easy way to get this look and give yourself a lift. Velarof designers work with Japanese traditional patterns, known as kissho monyou, which symbolise good fortune and include motifs and colours that evoke joy. Think reds for energy or blue for serenity. Maybe cheeky pink is how you’re feeling?
