Kylie Jenner is the latest example to indulge in a style makeover since dating actor Timothee Chalamet.

She’s traded form-fitting dresses for a more whimsical style – just like her partner, who she’s been dating for six months.

The fashion psychologist Dr. As Carolyn Mair explains, “When we’re in a long-term relationship, we’re more attuned to each other’s preferences.

“When we begin a new romantic relationship, we often want to make a positive impression.

“Because what we wear is a form of visual communication, we can communicate that our personality, style and values ​​align with our partner’s preferences.

“When we understand their preferences and dress accordingly, we’re more likely to receive compliments from them, which validates us and makes us feel more secure in the relationship.”
