Beyond layering and accessorizing, there’s another foolproof way to make a velvet suit stand out: opt for a rich, singular tone. Whether you invest in a deep burgundy velvet blazer and matching wide leg trouser set or an iteration of the season’s most opulent maximalist fabric trends, tone on tone velvet is the perfect way to make this look pop.

Another simple way to look stylish while spending the day out is to embrace a bolder maximalist outfit, like the one above. If you’re going to be out in the city, you might as well wear one to two statement pieces that will make you stand out, like a fuchsia satin maxi skirt paired with an oversized gray graphic sweatshirt.

You can’t go wrong with classic camel flared pants, but if you want to go for something a bit more dramatic, you’ll want to get your maximalist inspiration from above. Whether you’re getting dinner by the sea or going out dancing, a brown suede corset top and a white faux fur jacket will make sure you stand out from the crowd in a good way.

While a white linen button down shirt is certainly a great option for dressing for an 80-degree day, it also works well for nighttime. Whether going on a first date or out with the girls, you can’t go wrong with pairing an oversized white linen shirt with light wash barrel leg jeans, a black grommet belt, and silver Mary Jane flats for a maximalist everyday look.

You also can achieve the maximalist statement look by styling a brown and white cow print denim jacket with a white ribbed crop tank top and off white barrel leg wide jeans.

The maximalist fashion combination I’m most excited to try this season? Gold satin wide leg trousers. Naturally, after many seasons of denim and basics, the pendulum has started to swing in a more luxurious direction. Gold satin trousers are uncharted territory for many and will give fashion people the space to experiment and have fun with their style. I can’t wait to wear them with a white double breasted blazer and two tone cap toe loafers.

This yellow leather bomber jacket layered over a white graphic crop top and a white tiered maxi skirt is the kind of maximalist trusty look you can pull out on any given day during any time of year and feel timeless in.

Street style crowds showed their appreciation for bold prints in a meaningful way this season, but the maximalist style I kept seeing over and over was camouflage cargo shorts styled with a sleek black one shoulder top.

Cognac brown can sometimes feel a bit rustic or casual, but crisp white is the color companion it needs to give it a refined and sophisticated maximalist uplift.

Exactly a maximalist outfit!

The maximalist tonal power look is back and better than ever. Instead of a predictable head to toe solid, opt for a modern take with a pink and orange abstract wave print co-ord set paired with an oversized hot pink blazer in a similarly bold tone.

Another failproof maximalist outfit formula you can rely on? Ahem, the look above. For those mornings when you really cannot be bothered, throw on a brown and ivory leopard print bodysuit with a sage green drawstring midi skirt and silver pointed toe mules. You won’t regret it.

As far as color combinations go, black and plum might not seem like the most groundbreaking starting point, but I’d argue that pairing the dark leather jacket with something as maximalist as orange and blue striped wide leg trousers always has a more expensive-looking payoff.

It’s officially print trouser season and right now it’s all about bold mixed print styles in lightweight fabrics, worn with simple basics like a black sleeveless bodysuit to let the maximalist mixed medallion and leopard border print wide leg trousers do all the talking.

This year I predict maximalist animal print trousers will be making a comeback. Casual or elevated, a cream and brown animal print wide leg trouser is the perfect match for a deep burgundy corset crop top or can be dressed down with trainers.

Brown Long Coat + Brown Fitted Top + Chocolate Brown Leather Trousers + Leopard Print Ankle Boots

For fans of the classics, don’t worry, tonal dressing is still a suitable option for 2026. But if you’re searching for a way to reinvent your favorite monochromatic look without straying too far, consider looking at maximalist detailing, like a leopard print boot. A single animal print accent is all you need to make a head to toe chocolate brown leather look feel considered.

Though this color can instantly make anything chicer, if you want to embody that maximalist drip, you’ll want to invest in at least one piece in a bold statement-making hue. Even if you opt for an iteration that comes in more of an earthy or muted tone, slipping into a red oversized leather bomber jacket with wide leg jeans and mustard sneakers is a sure way to look stylish all season long.

Simple. Classic. Versatile. A black white and green racing moto jacket layered over a sweeping black maxi skirt always looks maximalist chic, whether you’re heading to the office or out on the weekend.

An alternative way to make a maximalist monochromatic look more interesting for the cooler months is to pay attention to the texture of your pieces. Opting for richer details, such as a sequin floral midi skirt and leopard print tights, will help your all-burgundy outfit stand out in the best way possible.

You’ll likely find me donning this maximalist color combination every other day. There’s something about this orange ribbed crop top and red satin midi skirt that feels so effortlessly bold (which, of course, means I’m obsessed).
