Collectively worn by celebs, influencers, and real girls alike, here are 2016's top fashion trends on Instagram:
1. Off-shoulder necklines
Who didn’t wear an off-shoulder top or dress in 2016? Collarbones were the year’s erogenous zone, and they’re still going strong in the coming year.

2. Choker necklaces
Hands down the perfect accessory to pair with off-shoulder necklines! Bonus points for being inexpensive, which meant we could hoard them and wear a different one every day of the week. LOL!

From voluminous bell shapes to super long sleeves, the more eye-catching and, dare we say it, impractical, the better!

6. Statement hems on jeans
Cropped jeans had a major moment this 2016. People either wore theirs with raw, uneven hems, or fringed and distressed to perfection—all the better to show off a killer pair of shoes!

The ‘90s had a big influence on the way we dressed in 2016, with lingerie-like slips leading the pack in throwback style.
