New designer Magda Butrym ignited our love for off-the-shoulder and cut-out shoulder tops this year.

The Vetements 'You F*ck'n Asshole' T-shirt became the motto of the year, seen here on fashion blogger Chiara Ferragni earlier this season.

A classic pair of Vans (Black Authentic) were the comfy skate shoe of the year seen on the likes of street style crush Jan-Michael Quammie at Fashion Week in Septembe.

These Louis Vuitton heeled ankle boots are currently dominating our wish list of 2017

The Tracey bikini from the Pandora Sykes x Hunza G 2016 collection was seen on every celebrity this year and we loved its pastel tone and frilly hips.

These monochrome striped flats herringbone-patterned fabric – seen here on fashion blogger The Frugality – were a late addition to the year but we can't wait to save them for Spring.

2016 was the year that the ELLE team became obsessed with Jacquemus. With oversized sleeves – and we mean oversized – we can't wait to bring this trend into 2017.

This Marques coat – spotted on ELLE's fashion features director Kenya Hunt – was THE most coveted item in the team's wardrobe this year. Warm, on-trend, wintery – could we want anymore?
