You have surely heard about the trend that is taking over social media and fashion & decor magazines: maximalism.
This concept, which is making a comeback, is characterized by the use of colors and layering clothing. Maximalism has emerged today as a new form of expression and optimism following the long pandemic period. To add a touch of eccentricity to your style, nothing is easier than to embrace maximalism!
Let’s take a closer look at an exciting and extravagant trend that is shaking up the fashion world.
Maximalism: The Trend of Excess
Unlike minimalism, which promotes a sober and clean style, maximalism is a curiosity cabinet where everything is allowed.
The concept dates back to the 17th century and finds its roots in the rococo art of the 18th century.
It is on the TikTok platform that maximalism has the most influence. The #maximalism hashtag has reached 200 million views. Younger generations have embraced this trend and share their tips on how to mix colors and textiles.
If maximalism is a fashion of excess where anything is possible and without limits, it is also an opportunity to dress while protecting the planet.
Indeed, layering jewelry and pieces does not necessarily mean overconsumption. In line with the rococo style, nothing beats thrift shopping for vintage pieces and creating new outfits with second-hand items.
Maximalism brings a breath of freshness, humor, and is also eco-friendly.
