Like a much-needed hit of seasonal dopamine, springtime comes in with brisk mornings that transition to balmier sunsets. And after a chilly winter, these new months call for exciting looks filled with brightness and movement. Frankly, we all deserve the chance to let loose.
Enter your boldest maximalist side. The anything-but-demure style is all about pushing boundaries, leaning into expression, and having fun with fashion. And whether your personal maximalist style is all about one hero piece around which outfits are built, or you're more into a contrasting mix of colors and patterns, Nordstrom's Maximalist shop has all the picks you'll need to lean into the season. Key amongst them: Larroudé’s mixed-media materials, eye-catching hues, and can’t-miss silhouettes that will ground your looks from the feet up.
Utilizing sustainably focused manufacturing processes, founder Marina Larroudé creates stylish and functional footwear that let you express yourself exactly as you want, no pain-is-beauty required. And for the month of May (from April 29 to June 2, to be precise), Nordstrom is featuring Larroudé in its iconic Make Room for Shoes campaign, with seven exclusive styles available only at the retailer.
We've highlighted three of our favorites from that collaboration, each at the foundation of a maximalist-fab look to slip into this season. From a chic cargo pant to the denim maxi you’ve been dreaming of, each look is just edgy enough to have you feeling your most striking and vivid. Read on for more.
FLORAL AND FAWNED-OVER
With a sweet motif and leg-flattering stiletto, the Hibiscus sandal is one of Larroudé’s most beautifully feminine yet. Wear yours beneath a linen-blend cargo pant and a bold blazer with an oversized floral print for a chic dinner look. A geometric hoop and satin bag dial up the formality, without ever feeling overdone or stuffy.
ALL THAT'S GILDED AND GOLD
Maximalism comes in many forms—and, quite literally, many shapes. A billowing skirt that builds the volume from top to bottom has a definite point of view. And mixed metal accessories, like a knotted-leather Bottega clutch, a shimmering crystal cuff by Alexis Bittar, and Larroudé's Valerie kitten heel that packs a lion’s punch, elevate the classic red and enhance the impact of the distinct silhouette.
DOUBLE DENIMIST
A brunch-worthy sunny-day look is all about the details, even (especially?) when maximalism is at the forefront. Pair Larroudé’s Ivy ruffled flat sandal with a timeless denim maxi; our favorite Tory Burch silhouette—a buzzy, trending holdover from last fall—will wear beautifully on the side. Dramatic, sculptural sunnies speak for themselves next to heavyweight hoops that add a dose of interest.
