2016 Mania Has Arrived — Here Are 5 Fashion Trends From the Era That Are Actually Worth Reviving

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, WWD may receive an affiliate commission. At one point, it was common knowledge that trends — especially those in the universe of fashion — came back every two decades. Now, that length of time has been shortened to 10 years, what with the boom of all things 2016-coded in 2026. Since turning their calendars to the Year of the Horse, people have been obsessed with trying to resuscitate the age of the Mannequin Challenge and the fidget spinner.

But this really connected with people, which is amazing.” The show was picked up for a second season, which they were in the midst of filming when the 2025 Emmys took place — and the show cleaned up, taking home the prize for Outstanding Drama series, as well as acting awards for Noah Wyle and Katherine LaNasa. Isa Briones Sela Shiloni/WWD “You kind of never get a chance to sit in it without being in it, which I think is kind of good because then you can’t really focus too much on the exterior,” Briones says. “As amazing as awards are, you can’t base all of your worth on it because you’re just like, ‘I’m still w...
