As if it saw the light at the end of the tunnel—spoiler alert: It was a runaway train called the Trump Express, with Tomi Lahren bringing up the caboose—fashion responded in two opposite ways: an overall slackening (comfort in times of trouble) but also individualistic ostentation (live it up while you still can). Here, seven definitive trends that represent both ends of the spectrum and one of the most WTF years in human history.

Thrasher
If you were to soundtrack 2016, especially the end bit, it would be Elliott Smith and death metal, even though 98 percent of the youths wearing these T-shirts ad hoodies would be hard-pressed to name even one track. But good on this whippersnapper for the pussy-bow blouse, also extra timely.

Sock Boots
Again, the Vetements argument, but also Yeezy, but also when you want to pad around your apartment with tears streaming down your face but you also want to go out.
