Summer 2025 is all about going big or going home—and the Vacation Maximalist aesthetic is leading the charge.

Think bold prints, vibrant colors, tons of accessories- oversized at that- and unapologetic glam designed for sun-drenched getaways and poolside posing. This trend ditches minimalist neutrals in favor of statement pieces that scream “main character energy.” From embellished resort wear to dramatic jewelry and head-to-toe coordinated sets, the Vacation Maximalist look is your passport to being the best-dressed on any coastline.

The Color Palette: Bold, Bright, and Beach-Ready

This color palette is all about turning heads—think electric blues, fiery oranges, sunshine yellows, and juicy pinks that practically demand a passport stamp.
