I can say, generally it will be a crazy year. A year that we will definitely live 90s.. Not having different seasonal collections, clothes of 2016 will manage the whole year..
You know, hair is the first place to look at. For women, the hairsprays with glitter that we know from 90s are coming back. For men, as ‘grunge’ style’s reflection, braids will start to be used. For short cut hair, men will prefer 50s style classical cut.
Trousers’ legs will be very loose; both men and women will wear large trousers. Also, for both men and women, generally there will be suits with waistcoats inside. Waistcoats are more thought for workplaces. If gone for an event in the evening, waistcoats will be replaced with turtle neck sweaters.
Other important pieces for women clothing are x shaped halter neck tank tops, loose jackets, plaid pieces, striped Indian style shirts, cropped/capri trousers, mini and maksi all kinds of skirts, very mixed patterned dresses.. Other important pieces for men clothing are long sleeved very tight sweaters, long sleeved very mixed patterned and tight t-shirts, plaid pieces, striped Indian style shirts.. Textiles will be again lace and cotton but this year they will be much thinner and lighter versions. And also silk..
Clothing colours standing in the forefront will differ according to the pieces. Suits will be all tones of soil and blue for both men and women. Also for women, pink in all tones will be used for textile products. Very mixed patterns will come from flowers of fields, sharp dark coloured tropical patterns, interesting blue and white patterns from ice or sky.
Jewelries for women, leave many accessories of 2015 to plain and classical style accessories. You will have one jewelry but it will dominate your whole clothing.. ‘Hand bracelets’ are coming. Men will keep long chains like historical chain pocket watches within their suits. Also again as the full reflection of 90s, both men and women will carry long chain necklaces.
For bags, sports backpacks and sports shoulder bags will be same as 2015’s big and round shapes. But women’s daily shoulder bags will carry messages; plastic casted and shaped interesting shoulder bags will look like toys.
For shoes, sports shoes will continue to be dominant, high heel shoes will turn into flat paltform/thick soled shoes.
