Fashion Revival: 2016 Styles Are Back

We all know that fashion trends have a way of reappearing in our wardrobes over the years, but many are surprised to see styles from 2016 making a comeback in high street stores.

2016: A Year of Fashion and Cultural Shifts

While we continue to see pieces from the ‘70s and ‘80s re-emerge, the fashion industry has decided that trends from 2016 are worth revisiting, even though it's less than a decade old.

2016 was a year filled with significant political events, from a surprising presidential election to the rise of "Stranger Things," the release of Beyoncé's "Lemonade," and the passing of David Bowie, which shocked many.

It was also a time characterized by a distinct fashion uniform, with a strong affinity for chokers, bomber jackets, black skinny jeans, and lace crop tops.

Since then, this era has been celebrated and romanticized on social media, with many declaring it “the best” time for fashion.

Viral Video Sparks Nostalgia

Recently, a woman's video went viral , amassing over 600,000 views, after she revealed that Zara has released nostalgic pieces.

Tahlia remarked: “Zara is really digging into the archives from 2016.”

She showcased a lace burgundy V-neck crop top with spaghetti straps, reminiscent of outfits we would wear for a night out, paired with skinny jeans and Superstars.

Even celebrities like Michelle Keegan and Emma Watson were spotted in lace V-neck bralettes on the red carpet, and they featured in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

Tahlia expressed her confusion about whether the return of these iconic tops evokes “nostalgia or PTSD.”

The item is priced at £19.99 and is one of many available on Zara’s website and in stores.

In response to Tahlia’s video, one user commented: “Oh my gosh, I went to Zara just the other day and felt the same way. It wasn’t just their tops, but many other pieces reminded me of 2016.”

“So nostalgic,” added another excited shopper. “It was the best of times,” insisted a different commenter.

“Oh my god, that crop top unlocked core memories,” another user expressed.

One person mentioned they used to wear such tops “with high-waisted skinny jeans.”

Another recalled: “Oh my gosh, that was genuinely my first-year university uniform in 2014, paired with a black leather skirt and chunky six-inch heels. Take me back.”

“I clearly remember owning this exact top in navy blue back in 2015,” commented another.

“I still have this top in cream from 2016,” wrote someone else.
