My 2016 Fashion Throwback!

I was in my era of skinny jeans, tall boots, sweaters and dainty scarfs, oh and big purses! This was me in 2016, and while I like looking back, I’m just not that person anymore! But I DO think I did the damn thing! 😁🤣🙌🏻 #2016fashion #2016challenge #oldtrends #lemon8challenge

2/2 Edited to

... Read moreLooking back at my 2016 fashion era, I realize how much styles have changed and yet some pieces remain timeless. Skinny jeans were a staple for many of us that year, praised for their versatility and ability to pair with almost anything—whether it was a chunky sweater for a casual day or tall boots for a chic look. Tall boots, especially those over-the-knee styles, added an edgy yet elegant touch and became a must-have for cooler seasons. One thing I always loved was accessorizing with dainty scarves, which brought a subtle charm and layered warmth to outfits. Pairing scarves with big purses gave a nice balance—functional yet stylish. It’s fun to think about how these trends reflected the mood and vibe of that time. Although my style has evolved, looking back at these elements inspires me to mix classic pieces with modern trends. If you're reminiscing about 2016 fashion or planning your own throwback wardrobe, don’t hesitate to revisit these items. They offer comfort, style, and the perfect way to channel that confident energy from past years. Remember, fashion is personal and ever-changing, so embrace those pieces that made you feel good and keep evolving your style with confidence.

throwback to my fashion & style in 2016 ✨
I was 21 in 2016, which means I was deep in my trial-and-error era 😅 I was experimenting with literally every trend—skinny jeans and basic sweaters, criss-cross tops, sequins, florals (so many florals), pajama sets as outfits… if it was popular, I tried it. I was also smaller back then, so I cou

✨ 2016 will forever be my happy year. ✨ It was my era of playful, effortless cool — sneakers, denim, and endless optimism. The year I went from high school to college, felt truly alive, and believed anything was possible—even though the future felt uncertain. Hoping 2026 brings that same magic

Matte skin, bold and dark brows, heavy contour and highlight. Anastasia brow pomade was that girl. I regret none of it and in fact still do 2016 makeup on the rare occasion I have time and somewhere to go to wear it. #2016makeup #2016throwback #cutcrease #makeup

#2016throwback 2016 really had us doing the most 😭 From bold outfits to questionable trends, I was fully confident and outside. No regrets though, she was having fun and that’s what mattered. Fashion eras are just proof of growth, right? 😂 Which 2016 trend were you guilty of?
