Dopamine dressing experienced a huge boom in recent years, and it’s here to put a fun, colorful, and maximalist twist on the way you dress. Thalia Castro-Vega is one of the content creators putting this craze on the map, inspiring us to dress boldly and express our creativity through our clothes.
Castro-Vega, who uses the pronouns they/she, is the mastermind behind Instagram and TikTok page @polychrom3, followed by over 150,000 people on both platforms. They’re a huge believer we should all dress in a way that brings us joy – and that’s the very definition of dopamine dressing.
Castro-Vega feels most joyous when they’re wearing clothes in bright colors, quirky prints, and fun details that allow them to stand out from the crowd.
“I love maximalism because it really invoked the meaning of fashion as an art form. I have no qualms with a basic t-shirt and jeans, but when I am dressed in a maximalist way – wearing ruffles, or interesting textures with unique patterns and fun colors, then I feel like a walking piece of art,” they told Cozy Land.
Castro-Vega enjoyed dressing up from an early age, and they’ve come a long way since going through their mom’s closet to put together interesting fashion combos. In addition to making waves with their viral videos online, Castro-Vega is also a personal stylist, who enjoys helping people of different backgrounds express their true selves through fashion.
