# [Our 5 Favorite Theme Costume Ideas for 2016!](https://blog.thelineup.com/blog/2016/01/15/5-favorite-theme-costume/)

Who doesn't love a good theme?! From retro-themed numbers to military-esque routines, let your imagination run wild!

Many of these costumes are inspired by classic designs, adding a new twist to a throwback look: Fresh, new designs based on traditional themes like princesses and the production of Grease. And, much to our delight, what about a look back to the retro 1980's aerobics craze - which is close to our hearts because that's how The Line Up got its start 25 years ago. Yep, it all began with leos and leggings. We had a lot of fun working with those patterns and designs!

And now, without further ado, here are a few of our favorite hot themes of the season!

## 1. A fresh take on the classic animal prints and exotic creatures.
