What is texturemaxxing? Inside fall’s biggest layering trend
This fashion trend is having a moment, and it’s easy to see why. The layered look is all about combining different fabric styles, weights and finishes into a single outfit—perfect for a season that can quickly swing between warm and cool.
Texturemaxxing creates visual interest using contrasting surfaces (like rough versus smooth) rather than busy prints. It’s also essential to ensure the outfit looks intentional rather than cluttered, so a bit of balance with textures is key!
The best TJ Maxx fall wardrobe finds under $40
A satin dress with a faux leather blazer
One of the easiest ways to capture the trend is to start with a delicate, smooth garment under a heavier layer. This chocolate-colored satin dress ($22) is gorgeous by itself, but you can elevate the look with a plum leather blazer ($40). Both showcase an autumn-inspired color palette, but it’s their contrasting structure and sheen that really makes this outfit pop. It’s sure to be a stunner for your next night on the town!
Cardigan with suede mini skirt and leather clogs
If you love sporting rich brown hues this time of year, this is one affordable combination you won’t want to miss. This zip-front cardigan ($19.99) is already a prime example of texturemaxxing thanks to its ribbed knit body and soft fur trim.
Bring yet another winner into the ensemble with this brown suede skirt ($15), which boasts a matte, soft-pile finish. Finally, round out the look with a beautiful pair of leather clogs ($15). The shoes’ sleek surface is a stunning standout, and the light wood sole keeps the entire outfit from looking too heavy.
Corduroy pants with hooded knit sweater
Few fabrics say fall like corduroy, and these pants are a steal at $19.99. The deep merlot color offers plenty of contrast to the store’s cream knit sweater ($16.99), allowing each hue to pop. Of course, the different fabrics also make this a fabulous combo—the sweater’s chunky stitch balances out the corduroy’s fine ribbing in the best way possible. From brunch with the girls to a day at the pumpkin patch, this duo delivers plenty of stylish comfort.
Fringe scarf with leather bag
The trend applies to more than just tops and bottoms; you can also texturemaxx with accessories! What better way to do so than with a triangle fringe scarf in a khaki color ($14.99) and leather pouch ($20)? While the scarf’s dark buckle detail matches the pouch’s deep brown, each piece has its own unique style that kicks up the visual interest. The pouch’s gold chain strap in particular helps to offset the earth tones in both accessories.
Whether you’re looking for a fall wardrobe refresh or a complete closet makeover, TJ Maxx’s affordable fall finds make it a cinch to look fabulous this season—without breaking the bank.
