When you walk into a room, people notice. When you tell a story, people listen. You’re not afraid to take up space, speak your mind, and stand out. If you live your life at full volume, you deserve clothes that aren’t afraid to make a little noise.


Maximalist fashion is all about embracing bigger, bolder looks. It’s about celebrating your distinct voice and personality through your favorite fits. It’s about layering, mixing and matching, and curating one-of-a-kind looks. If you’re ready to dare to dress loudly, check out these three maximalist fashion tips.



Find Vintage Inspiration


If you keep up with fashion news and streetwear influencers, you’ve probably read a few think pieces (or, let’s be real, watched a few TikToks) about how everyone seems to dress the same lately. Once you start noticing it, you’ll see the same minimalist outfits everywhere. Sure, there’s nothing wrong with wearing what makes you feel comfortable, but true fashion is about experimentation, taking risks, and being bold.


One of the best ways to break out of this hall of mirrors is to get inspiration from iconic fashion eras. Early 2000s style is a perfect example of an era that embraced taking fashion risks, making Y2K-inspired outfits a great source of inspiration. Before we were all bombarded with targeted ads and microtrends, it was easier for people to blaze their own trail. Set trends. Break norms.


Switch Up Your Silhouettes


When you think of maximalist fashion, you probably picture bright colors and daring details. Eye-catching graphics and artistic designs are definitely part of dressing loud, but so is the cut of your clothes. Striking silhouettes, like flared pants and boxy button-ups, are great ways to boost the visual weight of an outfit.



By ditching the typical “high-waisted pants and simple top” outfit formula, you can explore styles that feel true to you. Try pairing mini denim skirts with chunky combat boots or cropped hoodies with wide-leg cargo jeans. By mixing and matching distinctive silhouettes, you can develop your maximalist style and find what makes you feel comfortable.


Feel Out Different Fabrics


When you have a maximalist personality, you love soaking up every part of life: the sights, sounds, tastes, and (of course) the textures. Mixing in different fabrics is one of the best parts of embracing a maximalist style. Think leather and mesh, denim and faux fur, velvet and silk. Wearing an eclectic mix of fabrics not only elevates the look of your outfits but also takes the sensory experience of your style to a whole new level.


Shirts with mesh fabric might be lightweight, but they pack a major punch. A velour zip-up hoodie with poplin cargo pants can help your casual outfits feel bold. When you shake things up with maximalist fabrics, you can take your outfits from “I’m just running errands” to “I’m running the streets.”



Fashion favors the bold, which is why embracing a maximalist mindset is the best way to find your authentic style. With vintage inspiration, unique silhouettes, and endlessly touchable fabrics, you can embrace maximalist fashion.
