The 2016 Renaissance: 10 Fashion Statements Returning in 2026

In today’s video, we’re diving into the "10-year nostalgia." We’re exploring why the fashion world is ditching the 2020s "Clean Girl" aesthetic in favor of the messy, unpolished, and communal vibes of 2016. As Vogue recently noted, we aren’t just nostalgic for the clothes; we’re nostalgic for a time before AI-fragmented algorithms took over our culture.

We breakdown the 10 definitive fashion statements returning this year, including:
the "Advanced" Skinny Jean: How Hedi Slimane is winning the denim war
the boudoir slip dress: Why we’re ditching the T-shirt layering for sheer lace
human slop aesthetic: Why "messy" is the new "perfect" in 2026
merch boom 2.0: From Oasis to Chalamet, why we’re craving community
the peplum: The most controversial comeback of the decade

Stick around until the end for my personal 2026 wishlist, featuring "Life of Pablo" palettes, spiked bras, and the return of the Fendi pom-pon.
