The best part about fashion is that it's never constant. Though it becomes difficult for most to upkeep with the changing trends, it's actually fun if you take keen interest in dressing up.

Since we'll be saying our goodbyes to 2016 in a few days, we thought it'll be a good idea to look back at the major fashion and beauty trends that took the world by storm. Be it the supermodels in fashion shows, our divas in the movies, or the everyday woman... these trends had everybody hooked on to them. Read through and tell us about the ones that you loved the most!

Ripped Jeans

Picture Alia Bhatt in Dear Zindagi and you'll know how majorly ripped jeans are trending. Love it or hate it... but there's no running away from it. Here's how you can DIY it.

Off-shoulders

Cute off-shoulders made a major comeback and we're not complaining. Be it crop tops, formal shirts, or gorgeous lehenga cholis... this one can be incorporated with any random style. Here's how.

Chokers

Chic chokers became quite the rage in the latter part of the year. Remember, we told you about the types of chokers that you just cannot go without? Oh and just FYI... the TBD rule says to go DIY!

Midi Rings

Midi rings are the current junk-jewellery trend that every 20-something girl is currently in love with. No, no, don't wonder about where you'll find them ‘coz you just gotta make them like this :)

Reverse Trend

The bizarre trend of wearing clothes backwards caught pace. From wearing shirts in the reverse style or flaunting necklaces backwards, here's how you can catch up on it.

Bralettes

Remember Deepika Padukone's sexy bralettes in the film Tamasha? Soon after, fashionistas were spotted baring their backs with a bold show of their colour-contrasted bralette.

Palazzos

The fashion world went for a toss when the palazzo arrived! This beauty can be paired with everything and you wouldn't be able to choose your favourite look. Have a look.

High Slits

Be it bold thigh-high slits or high-slit kurtis and tops, women chose to experiment with slits this year. If you still haven't caught on to this trend, here's your cue.

Indo-Western

The line between Indian wear and Western wear blurred when the idea of Indo-Western was born. Pairing ethnic jewellery with formal shirts or a sassy crop top with a lehenga, these Indo-Western elements quickly made place in wardrobes.

Athleisure

Spotted your fave celeb sporting athletic outfits to casual events? Well, we can't blame them for getting addicted to the athleisure trend. This quirky gym-to-office look is one great way to stay comfy yet stylish!

Contouring

Blame Kim Kardashian for making women jump onto the bandwagon of makeup contouring. Though this initially began with just face contouring, today it boasts of these different types. Here's what you need to know to get started.

Lipstick Love

Red and pinks went out the door when women stopped shying away from novel lipstick trends like nudes and gothics. Lip love and how!
