After months of pandemic-induced isolation, fashionistas are once again gearing up to showcase must-have statement pieces and accessories that have been largely shunned.

Undeniably flirtatious and playfully vibrant, this season’s Resort ’21/22 collections infuse newly energized silhouettes — mini skirts, bandeaus, oversized outerwear — with ’70s-inspired prints and a bevy of nods to Pop Art. With fads like ‘Psychedelics Go Pop’ and ‘Painterly Pizazz,’ this season’s ready-to-wear is taking an amplified approach that is destined to be every fashionable maximalist’s dream.

Colorful graphic suit sets from Moschino — featuring bold phrases and motifs, of course — and kitschy floral sets from MSGM prove the irresistible versatility of maximalism. Whether you are heading out for a night at the discotheque or simply taking an afternoon stroll, fashion’s most coveted brands will leave you looking unquestionably chic and wholly memorable.

Joyous and intelligent, interchangable and engaging, maximalism — in all its glorious forms — is set to be a major style contender this season.
