Obsessed With Emily In Paris And Call Me Bae’s Maximalist Style? Here’s How To Nail It Without Looking Like A Clown!

Here's how you can also enter your maximalist era like Emily In Paris and Call Me Bae girlies!

2024 has been a year full of trends and comebacks. We are halfway across the year and have already seen so many trends trying to make their mark in the minds of people. From the craze of Brat summer to the world now simping over “very demure, very mindful,” we moved on real fast. And since the recent trailer launch of Ananya Panday’s upcoming series Call Me Bae and also the mainstream series Emily In Paris, it got me thinking if we have suddenly entered the era of maximalism, a trend which is here to stay.

Don’t get me wrong, Maximalism is something which is often worn by celebs like Natasha Poonawala and Sara Ali Khan very regularly. But the notion of it being worn only on specific occasions is something which we have devoured. It is not per se that you have to be rich to slay that maximalist look. But how you ask? Here’s the art of incorporating maximalism in your daily lifestyle that you deserve!

Maximalism Core

Maximalism is the antithesis of minimalism. Instead of subdued tones and streamlined designs, maximalism celebrates abundance and diversity. It’s about layering, mixing patterns, and using rich textures to create a visually stimulating effect. This approach encourages individuals to express their personalities through their style choices, resulting in a more dynamic and personalized aesthetic.

While many minimalist girlies look down on maximalist ones, it is always good to be one and also a tough risk to take. It takes time and a lot of dealing to create a maximalist outfit. From combining textures and designs to selecting the most dramatic tones, there’s a lot of effort that goes into slaying as a maximalist. And you cannot simply be someone who goes overboard, resembling the one chair in your room where you drop all of your clothes.

Here’s How You Can Be A Maximalist Girlie

1. Mix, Match, And All That

Maximalism is all about mixing patterns, colours, and textures. You don’t need to buy new items to achieve this look; instead, use what you already have. Experiment with combining different patterns and textures from your existing wardrobe. Do this and also be a sustainable girlie okay?

Mixing different patterns may be difficult at first, but you may begin by pairing a clothing item with a modest patterned print against a piece with a larger and more noticeable print. Following this tip will ensure that your attire looks well-put-together and artistic.

2. Frills, Bows, Ribbons, And All That Love

This is the season of bows and trails. Keep things in your closet that may have a statement on it. Don’t worry! This style is rather simple to pull off. All you need to think about is a statement piece. You may dress big by adding flared sleeves, voluminous outfits, and dramatic accessories to your wardrobe. But if you don’t, no worries. Your accessories can also be attached to your ensemble to make it look better and unique.

3. Go All Out With The Colours

One of the easiest ways to achieve maximalism is to have colours on your outfit. Emily appears to be breaching the four-colour fashion rule with her ensemble, establishing herself as a fashionista. She chose a bright checkered tank top, a multicoloured skirt, and a vivid yellow blazer to experiment with different patterns and colours. Bright and vibrant hues can instantly alter people’s moods and energy levels. Emily is illustrating her point by looking as bright as a day.

4. Pattern On Pattern

The art of pattern on pattern can be tricky but will bring out that creativity in yourself. Choosing a colour palette is very important. You can pair complementary, analogous or even monochromatic colours to get that edgy look. Balance the patterns and ALWAYS consider the occasion. Being mindful of where you are going is of utmost importance.

5. Rotate and Refresh

Maximalism also allows for the rotation of items. Regularly swap out accessories, artwork, or textiles to keep your look fresh and vibrant without having to make significant purchases. This approach helps maintain a dynamic and eclectic style without constantly spending money.

6. Embrace High-Low Combinations

Incorporate a mix of high-end and budget-friendly items to achieve a balanced maximalist look. You can pair a designer piece or a quality item with more affordable finds. For instance, combining a high-quality vintage jacket with inexpensive, trendy accessories allows you to create a standout look without spending a fortune.

Embracing maximalism doesn’t have to be an expensive endeavour. By shopping second-hand, engaging in DIY projects, mixing and matching existing items, and strategically using accessories, you can achieve a bold and eclectic style on a budget. Maximalism is about creativity and self-expression, and with a little ingenuity, you can create a standout look without breaking the bank.
