Go bold with the emerging trend of Maximalism! Maximalism embraces being bright, loud and funky with your style choices including pops of color, color blocking, patterns, interesting silhouettes, print mixing and fun textures. Below we are going to break down some of the foundations of this trend so you can try it for yourself.
Pops of Colour
If there is one essential for this trend then it is color! Maximalism embraces color and plays with it in an adventurous way, there is no such thing as too bright when it comes to maximalism. You can flaunt any shade that tickles your fancy from lemon yellow to electric blue and everything in between. You can even mix vivid colors for a fabulous color-blocking look. If you are unsure of which colors to match, we suggest starting with analogous colors which appear next to each other on the color wheel such as pink and red or yellow and orange. Then, you can work up to complementary color combos that appear opposite each other such as orange and blue or yellow and purple for a more contrasted outfit.

Pretty Prints
Prints can be a fun way to explore maximalism in a way that doesn’t feel too overwhelming.
Prints are a staple when it comes to the maximalist trend, offering a variety of mixing and matching opportunities. Picking a statement piece such as a dress or skirt with a bright or bold print can allow you to add accent pieces in a way that you feel comfortable with. For example, if your dress has pink accents then you could accessorize with pink shoes, jewelry or a bag. You can even mix prints when you’re feeling brave. We think stripes and tartan can look chic together!

Interesting Silhouettes
The construction of a garment can make or break it and when it comes to maximalism we couldn’t agree more. The right construction and silhouette can make a garment a to die for piece. Asymmetrical necklines, wide legs, trapeze cuts, bustiers and layers can take a garment up a notch and add a point of interest that makes you reach for it again and again. An interesting silhouette can create incredible shapes in tune with your body and can leave you feeling chic and stylish.

Fun Textures
Sequins, faux fur, embroidery, lace, there is a never ending array of gorgeous textures to choose from when it comes to fashion and maximalism makes the most of these. Mixing textures can create an eye-catching ensemble for you and we are behind this a hundred percent from mixing sequins and leather to faux fur and tulle. Mixing textures can also be easier than mixing colors as we all have a variety of fabrics in our wardrobe and have done this before on some level so we invite you to try and dial it up a notch.
