Maximalism can seem complicated — more is more (is more, is more) — but there's an easy way to master the statement-making look. All you need to do is lean into brightly colored clothing and you've immediately made an impact. We're talking a full kaleidoscopic assortment, from neon tanks, bright button-downs, and colorful shorts to dynamic dresses and vivid going-out tops made with elevated details like high-shine satin, twisted necklines, and more. Since it's summer, swimwear is totally part of the color-bomb equation, too, from bikinis to one-pieces and the cutest tankini top you have ever seen.

Wherever you're going, whatever you're doing this summer — if not vacationing, working remotely poolside, perhaps?! — there's a vibrant piece of clothing calling your name. Scroll on for our current vibrant favorites.
