2016 Fashion Throwbacks

1/13 Edited to

... Read moreReflecting on my 2016 fashion journey while attending the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising (FIDM) in Los Angeles, it’s incredible how the local scene influenced my style choices. The vibrant murals scattered throughout LA, especially around Venice Beach and Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA), became spontaneous backdrops that perfectly complemented my wardrobe. Each mural, with its artistic expression, seemed to inspire different outfit themes—from casual streetwear to bold, experimental ensemble choices that matched the colorful scenes. During my Fashion PR internship days in Hollywood, I learned how crucial it is to adapt your style to different urban settings while maintaining your personal brand. Whether attending industry events or casual meetups, my 2016 outfits balanced professionalism with creativity, reflecting both my education and Los Angeles' eclectic vibe. For anyone looking to revisit or reinvent 2010s fashion trends, combining your surroundings with your wardrobe can create compelling photo moments and authentic style statements. Using public art as a backdrop not only adds depth to fashion posts but also highlights cultural elements that make your style story unique. This approach has continued to inform my creative fashion choices beyond school, reminding me that true fashion inspiration often comes from the environment around us.

Fashion Throwbacks From My 2016 Era 😅
#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?

2026 is the new 2016. I had a lot less variety in games I played at the time BUT was always playing online with friends. If I wasn’t playing online I was probably watching YouTube funny gaming videos #gaming #2016throwback #retrogames #callofduty #GTA

How I started. . .
Here are some throwbacks to how I started back in 2016-2018. Flatlays were the THING. And I loved doing them. But they take a consistency to create them well. If you get out of practice, you lose the ability. I am certainly out of practice. I haven’t attempted one in over a year. But I came across

Hey Swifties! I found some gems scrolling through Taylor’s pre-IG-cleanse posts and had to share this, and I miss when her feed was so alive with color and energy! The old pics feel so authentic, like that sunny shot of her laughing with what looks like a backup dancer. Love how unpolished ever
