Call it a crown-room instinct let loose on ordinary clothes. The trend making the rounds, nicknamed "whimsymaxxing" and carrying Kylie Jenner's approval, takes the shiny gemstones and glossy stickers usually saved for special occasions and scatters them across everyday pieces, denim included. It is embellishment stripped of formality, more craft table than dressing room. For a beat built on precision about who wore what and when, a trend that turns sparkle into a daily habit is one worth watching.
