Pinterest recently revealed the
fashion trends you need to watch out for this year. Luxe
Models reviews what they think is going to be big in 2016.
Pinterest 100
‘Pinterest’ is a visual-focused
social networking website. It allows users to visually share and discover new
trends by posting (known as ‘pinning’ on Pinterest) images and videos to their
own or others’ ‘boards’ (a collection ‘pins’ that usually have a common theme).
The site is rapidly becoming the
place where new fashion trends emerge, as many people are starting to post
pictures of looks and styles they like to their boards on Pinterest. The social
networking site gathers data from its 100 million users every year to compiled
the annual Pinterest 100 – a curated board of fashion trend predictions for the
coming year. They recently released the Pinterest
100 list for 2016 – so what trends should you keep an eye out for next
year?
Adele eyes
2015 was the year of Adele. The
British singer-song writer released her highly anticipated album 25 in
November 2015 and it was huge. Pinterest noted that people posted a lot of
pictures of the ‘Adele eye,’ depicting the singers’ signature cat-eye makeup,
last year. With stars such as Diane Kruger and Jennifer Hudson also adopting
the style, it could be everywhere in 2016.
No rules
According to Pinterest, 2016 will
be the year we all decide to throw every fashion rule in the book out the
window. Mixing textures and patterns, normally something of a no-no in fashion,
will be in. Expect to see a lot of crazy cool, if somewhat offbeat, outfits on
the streets next year. If you want to try this trend go really avante garde and
team a wacky outfit with statement sunglasses or vintage broaches (which will
also be huge in the next 12 months), so really go all out!
Belt bags
Anyone who remembers the 90s will
recall that it was the decade of the ‘bum bag.’ These very distinct items flew
out of fashion at a pace we can only call stunning in the 2000s, but Pinterest
noted people are starting to like them again. US news outlet Today
reported that these items, which have been re-christened ‘belt begs’ and
reimagined in leather and suede, are set to be everywhere in 2016.
Athleisure
If you’re a fan of the low-key
look, you’ll be happy to hear that ‘Athleisure’ is predicted to be a big trend
this year. ‘Athleisure’ is basically used to describe the act of wearing gym
clothes while out and about. Pinterest revealed that athleisure looks were
‘pinned’ 21 million times in 2015 – so it’s only going to get bigger going
forward. It might be time to break out your trainers and yoga pants!
Androgyny
Androgyny was one of the biggest fashion events of 2015. Don’t expect this
gender-blurring trend to go anywhere this year; online pop culture publication Popsugar
noted Pinterest believes 2016 will be the “year of androgyny.” Women
everywhere will be wearing classically masculine pieces such as relaxed denim
and tailored blazers over the course of the coming 12 months.

Pinterest can predict. The site used the pictures people posted in 2015 to
determine what would be hot in the world of fashion in 2016. However, you never
really know what’ going to happen when it comes to fashion. Check back to
the Luxe Models blog to find out about the biggest style trends set to rock the
