This past year was definitely a whirlwind of mixed emotions. When it comes to reminiscing about fashion however, 2016 showed a lot of nostalgia and a good nod or two to the trends of past decades. From bell-sleeves to velvet chokers, this year brought on a variety of trends that were sported by big fashion icons and regular Fashionista/os alike.
I had a chance to ask our amazing Style Gurus and Editors what their favorite trends of 2016 were. I think it’s safe to assume that most, if not all, of these top trends already have a special place in your closet. What were some of your favorite trends? Did any of them make it to the list? Here’s to hoping for another set of rad and unique style trends in the new year!
