Why Wear One Print When You Can Wear Two
What if we told you that you could live out your childhood dreams of mixing and matching your favorite patterns? The trend of maximalist fashion is on the rise, and we love it. People may view this style trend as messy, but we applaud the creativity and uniqueness that everyone brings with their outfits. Fashion is a form of art that is always up to interpretation. We will share our favorite looks that we have seen in men's and women’s fashion and give tips on how to spice up your usual style.
The goal of maximalism and pattern clashing is to avoid throwing everything on in your closet but rather to have a theme to your outfit. One key tip to accomplishing a stylish maximalist look is knowing which colors complement or contrast each other and which colors clash. Utilizing the color wheel helps ensure that your look will have some harmony. One way to accomplish this is by wearing tonal brights. You can wear colors and patterns that share the same general color but in different shades. This adds consistency to your outfit and creates a unique look.
Another way to heighten your outfit is by mixing different textures. Some textures that go well together are leather and lace or silk. These work well together because of the sleek look of the fabrics. A fur-trimmed suede jacket matches well with the denim fabric of jeans. It is easy to create a funky look just by wearing different textures. Some influencers who have mastered this style trend are Sofia Mcoelho and Shana Hall.
Maximalism and pattern clashing are one of the year's most memorable style trends. Influencers and celebrities have been experimenting with their styles more this year. We can’t wait to see more of this style trend. Fashion will continue to grow and change in the coming years, and we are excited to see the creativity this coming year!
