No longer confined to stage performances and galas, maximalist fashion has been gaining popularity among Bengalureans
ONE are the days of quiet luxury and beige palettes, as the city witnesses a burst of bold colours, chunky jewellery, and statement pieces.
With celebrities like Ranveer Singh, Lady Gaga, and Jacqueline Fernandez paving way to maximalist fashion, individuals have embraced this aesthetic as an outlet for self-expression, incorporating vibrant outfits with layers, accessories, and intricate patterns.
For fashion influencer Shivani Jai, maximalism is a way of showing one's unique boldness to stand out: layering is constant as it rescues your outfit from banality.
"When you add chunky jewellery and layer it with other accessories, it gives the outfit more character," says Jai.
Unlike minimalism, you are free to indulge in metallic jewellery and elaborate makeup without it being overbearing.
However, coordination is the key.
