Is 2026 the New 2016? Spring Beauty & Fashion I’m Loving

Advertisements

I love fashion and beauty, but if you’ve been around Some Punny Bunny for a while, you know I don’t always post about it as much as I want to. With spring here, though, I’ve been getting that urge to switch things up again—trying a few new beauty treatments while also bringing back some trends that I absolutely loved the first time around.

And honestly? If 2026 is giving “the new 2016,” I’m fully leaning into it.

Beauty Trends I Want to Try This Spring

1. Korean Lash Lift
I’ve been seeing Korean-style lash lifts all over my feed, and I’m intrigued. From what I’ve seen, the technique focuses on a softer, more natural-looking lift that makes your lashes look longer and more defined without that super dramatic curl. I love the idea of waking up with lashes that already look done, especially on low-makeup days.

2. A Pro Under-Eye Treatment
This winter did my under-eyes no favors. Between dry weather and too many late nights, they could definitely use some professional help. I’m thinking of trying a professional under-eye treatment—something hydrating and brightening that makes me look a little more awake even when I’m not.

3. That TikTok Lip Plumper Everyone Is Talking About
If you’re on TikTok, you probably know exactly which lip plumper I’m talking about. It’s everywhere right now, and it’s giving me serious 2016 beauty-YouTube vibes. I’m curious enough to try it—but let’s be honest, a lip plumper is probably as far as I’ll go. My whole family keeps reminding me I definitely don’t need lip filler, so we’re keeping things temporary over here.

2016 Fashion Trends I Want to Bring Back

If 2016 fashion is quietly creeping back into the spotlight, I’m not mad about it. Some of my favorite pieces from that era deserve another moment.

Bomber Jackets
At one point I had at least five bomber jackets in rotation. Satin, embroidered, oversized—you name it. They were the easiest way to throw something cool over a basic outfit, and I’m honestly surprised they ever disappeared.

Chokers (The 2016 Kind)
Chokers never fully left because they became part of the Y2K aesthetic, but the ones I loved in 2016 had a different vibe. Think simple velvet bands, delicate styles, and layered chokers that made even a plain outfit feel styled.

Cut Crease Eyeshadow
I know soft glam has taken over lately, but I miss a good dramatic cut crease. It was bold, it was precise, and it made any eye look feel instantly elevated. I’m seriously tempted to bring it back for nights out or events this spring.

Skinny Scarves
This one might be controversial, but hear me out. Skinny scarves were such a fun accessory moment. They added just enough detail without feeling heavy, and they worked with everything from dresses to blazers.

The Vibe for Spring 2026

For me, this spring is all about mixing a little nostalgia with trying new things. Beauty-wise, I’m leaning into treatments that make everyday routines easier. Fashion-wise, I’m revisiting trends that made getting dressed fun the first time around.

Because if 2026 really is the new 2016, I’m ready to open that part of the closet again.

And honestly… I might even buy another bomber jacket.
