Okay, so I wanted to dive into the fashion trends from 2016. It’s kinda fun to look back and see what was hot back then, right?

First, I scoured the internet. I mean, I literally spent hours on fashion blogs, old magazine scans, and even some archived runway shows. It was like a digital archaeological dig!
Gathering My Intel
- Started with the big names: Vogue, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar – you know, the usual suspects. I wanted to see what they were pushing back then.
- Dug into some smaller, more niche blogs. Sometimes they have a better pulse on what people are actually wearing.
- Checked out some old runway footage. It’s always interesting (and sometimes hilarious) to see the “high fashion” take.
- Looked old photos about 2016 trends.
Spotting the Patterns
After I gathered all this info, I started looking for patterns. What kept popping up? What were the common threads? It was like putting together a puzzle.
I noticed a few things that were definitely BIG in 2016:
- Chokers: Oh yeah, those were everywhere. From thin velvet ribbons to chunky metal ones, everyone was rocking a choker.
- Off-the-shoulder tops: Showing a little shoulder was super in. I remember having a few of these myself!
- Bomber jackets: These were the go-to outerwear piece. You could dress them up or down.
- Slip dresses: That slinky, lingerie-inspired look was pretty popular.
- Athleisure: Wearing your workout clothes as everyday clothes, comfort is important.
My 2016 Wardrobe Flashback
This whole process made me think about my own wardrobe in 2016. I definitely remember having a black velvet choker and a couple of off-the-shoulder tops. And I think I even had a satin bomber jacket… *’s funny how trends come and go.

So, that was my little deep dive into 2016 fashion. It was a fun trip down memory lane! Hope it helps if you want to do some reserches!
