Prepare Yourself—These Maximalist Accessory Trends Are Set to Take Over in 2026
If you’ve spent any time online this past week, you’ve likely come across Pinterest’s trend predictions for 2026. The platform lays out, in detail, exactly what users have been searching for—from fashion to food to interiors. It’s what the social media site does best, after all. When it comes to accessoriesspecifically, there’s inspiration aplenty, and most of the pieces Pinterest predicts will take off have already been spotted on the Spring/Summer 26 runways. Oh how I love it when everything seems to point in the same direction!
Take Glamoratti as a core example: “the decade of decadence is back in style,” according to Pinterest. That means brooches, gold cuffs, and chunky belts are all very much on the agenda. Or, for something slightly softer, look to Laced Up—a new iteration of the beloved boho aesthetic, where lace bonnets, socks and gloves replace the currently trending chiffon and clogs.
With 21 trends in total, there’s something to suit every style—though one thing is clear: they’re all made for maximalists. Just scroll below to see the ones worth bookmarking.
5 Maximalist Accessories Trends to Bookmark for 2026:
1. Blinged-Up Brooches
Style Notes: “Bring on the brooches” was the clear message on the Spring/Summer 26 runways, as Miu Miu, Tory Burch, Chanel and Mugler—among many others—sent eye-catching pins down the catwalk. The result? A renewed fascination with the once-forgotten accessory. In fact, searches for ‘brooch aesthetic’ are up 110% on Pinterest, signalling that this vintage-inspired look is set to take off in 2026.
Whether you choose a single statement brooch pinned neatly to a lapel or prefer to lean fully into the look with multiple styles layered together, rest assured: you’ll be in very good company.
