Eyebrows in patterns, sneakers on and ripped jeans. Do you still remember the biggest fashion and beauty trends from 10 years ago?

The style choices of 2016 are fondly remembered on social media. Models Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber are remembered as one of the biggest style icons of the year. PDO

Social media channels have been filled with publications recalling the events and fashion of 2016. We put together the biggest fashion and beauty trends from 10 years ago. How many of these do you remember using?

You’re torn apart

If you wore jeans in 2016, they were most likely ripped. The ripped style went well with both relaxed fit jeans and skin-tight skinny jeans.

Never too much eyeshadow

2016 was the golden age of intense makeup. Before the arrival of balls and natural make-up, eyebrows were made up heavily, eye shadow was not spared unnecessarily, and sparkling highlighter products glowed on the cheeks.

Colorful and dramatic eye shadow makeups were all the rage in 2016. Pictured is actress Zendaya Coleman. PDO

Tight choker necklaces can definitely be considered the king of jewelry trends. In addition to metallic necklaces, tattoo-like black choker jewelry, which works both in everyday life and at parties, became a trend.

Wear a bomber jacket anywhere

You couldn’t avoid this jacket 10 years ago. Pilot-like bomber jackets were seen both on the red carpet and combined with sporty outfits.

Ripped jeans, a bomber jacket, a choker necklace, dark lip makeup, a polo shirt and sneakers – this outfit combines perhaps a record number of the biggest trends of 2016! Model Barbara Sprouse is pictured. PDO

The bomber jacket was also a popular outerwear for more casual outfits. The picture shows model Hailey Bieber in 2016. PDO

Superior Over the Knee Boots

High over-the-knee boots were clearly at the top of the boot trend. They go well with autumn dress and skirt outfits, but they were also seen paired with plain oversized hoodies.

The 2016 outfit is easily recognizable by the over-the-knee boots. Extra points if they’re suede! PDO

Sporty and relaxed

Sportswear and Casual shoes flourished at the top of the trends. In 2016, leggings were not just sportswear, but also stylish everyday wear.
