Top 100 Fashion Trends in May

These May 2016 fashion trends range from minimalist swimsuit collections to dystopian store mannequins that rival traditional retail props. In addition to the month's outstanding fashion editorials -- from whimsical image sets that highlight conceptual makeup artistry to candid influencer portraits that reject the use of Photoshop -- other standouts include specialized retail innovations that target niche audiences.

In addition to the growing popularity of menswear-specific clothing and accessory subscription services, other notable May 2016 fashion innovations include gender-fluid undergarments, pop star activewear offerings and plus-sized swimwear lines that promote body positivity while targeting a diverse demographic that is often overlooked by mass retailers.
