Suzanne Pendlebury, Head of Womenswear Buying at Matchesfashion explains, “There is research that shows colours can affect your mood, bright and uplifting colours bring warmth, positivity and a sense of escapism – transporting you to a different place and mood. Our customers have really been engaging with joyful fashion and there are some great options this season. Ganni’s whimsical smiley and sunshine tee’s have been popular selling out in most sizes. They cannot fail to make you feel good!”.
The high street has some great options too; New Look has a ‘Happiness’ sweatshirt in sunny yellow that’s sure to deliver some sartorial vitamin D, Ganni’s ‘Have a nice day!’ T-shirt will give your live-in family or housemates a lift and Marks & Spencer has a rainbow ‘Smile’ hoodie that’ll make you do just that.

Next month also sees the launch of the much anticipated GUESS x FriendsWithYou collaboration. Fine art collective FriendsWithYou aims to spread the positive message of “Magic, Luck, and Friendship” through their collections.
FriendsWithYou founders, Samuel Borkson and Arturo Sandoval III commented “We believe that together we can create a peaceful and joyful world by celebrating our diversities and commonalities. This FriendsWithYou x GUESS effort will begin by bringing magical experiences, on a massive scale, sprinkled throughout the globe. Simultaneously, we will release a shirt symbolising world unity and peace and donate 100% of the proceeds to charities focused on ecological and humanitarian efforts.”
