5 Fashion Trends That Came Back in 2016 (That Maybe Shouldn’t Have)

This year saw the return of top trends from the past—much of which maybe should’ve stayed in the past. The ’90s were great, but did we need a resurgence of all of the ’90s? Here are some of the worst trends that made a comeback in 2016:

1. Mom jeans

Sure, we can all name a few people who can pull these off. But most of us? Let’s just say there’s a reason they fell out of style. 

2. Socks with dress shoes

This is just unnecessary. 

3. Jellies

Jellies were nothing short of the best when we were kids. But did we forget that they’re literally made of plastic? Like, they’re a great thing to wear if you like sweaty feet and chafing… which nobody does. 

4. Clunky shoes

In true ’90s fashion, can we just be honest here? These shoes may seem more comfortable, but they are hideous.  

5. The fanny pack

…or, we could just carry a normal bag.

Starting out as a staff writer & visual contributor in the Spring of 2016, Christine soon became the replacement Campus Correspondent at Her Campus Savannah College of Art and Design for the 2016-17 school year. In January 2017, she facilitated the launch of the SCAD Atlanta branch's own editorial launch, apart from the Savannah campus, leading the team to win some 2017 Her Campus awards!  She is an illustrator and avid history lover, and she also served in the Army as an Analyst and went to Bethel Ministry School before attending SCAD.  Her goal, as an illustrator, writer and in life in general, is to mine life of the treasure contained within.  She loves to find and put on display ideas, people (portraiture) and beautiful things.  Valuable things that are all around us in our everyday life in the form of friends, coworkers, classmates, nature, even industry.  She loves music (even writing songs and performing!), dance and new adventures.   Eventually she plans to write and illustrate children's books, have her own business featuring greeting cards, paper products, and her own revolutionary online/physical editorial publication.  For more about Christine check out her website at www.christineburney.com.
