\"MAXIMALIST<\/a>Although the understated sophistication of minimalist detail may have ruled the catwalks for the past couple of seasons, the emerging trend of maximalism proves that bigger is sometimes better. On the Spring 2016 runways, overdramatic and statement-making designs made an appearance, with all colours of the rainbow and all manner of embellishment stealing the spotlight. With the fashion world ready to reject minimalism in favour of overwhelming detail and an array of splashy hues, it\u2019s officially time to turn up the volume on your spring wardrobe. Here\u2019s how to adopt maximalism, as you swap your tired neutrals for vivid brights and unforgettable prints.<\/p>\n

Casual Chic <\/strong><\/p>\n

This season, try invigorating your weekend wardrobe with oversized bows and an embroidered zip-up athletic jacket (as spotted at Gucci). The look of contrasting embroidery and voluminous pink bows on a sheer blouse can immediately revamp your sartorial statement. Meanwhile, a pleated mid-length dress with a cool graphic print plays up against the contrasting green and pink shades, and enhances the fierce aesthetic on display.<\/p>\n

Work Wear<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although over-the-top patterns may hardly seem appropriate for the office, you\u2019d be surprised how easily maximalism can be combined with more wearable elements for everyday life. Follow the leading example from the Prada runway, and slip into a black, white and yellow-striped suit for a funky spin on classic work wear. Combine your cool girl skirt suit with black and white T-strap flats, dangling earrings and a sleek handbag in neutral shades.<\/p>\n

Evening <\/strong><\/p>\n

As the day changes into evening, express yourself boldly with an array of rainbow hues which are sure to illuminate the dance floor. Take your sartorial cues from Emilio Pucci, where a feather-adorned sleeveless frock was effortlessly layered over an orange and white striped long-sleeved number. To coordinate with the playful kaleidoscope hues, slip into a pair of strappy black sandals decorated with fluffy detail and pick up a bright orange chain handbag.<\/p>\n
