As every year, the moodboard platform reveals its predictions for the trends of the coming months. With a mix of vintage spirit, a quest for adventure, and mismatched colors, Pinterest Predicts 2026 forecasts a return of boldness and imagination for this new chapter. Let’s discover the 21 fashion, make-up, décor, and lifestyle trends that are set to emerge.
Minimalism steps aside in Pinterest Predicts 2026
After reigning for several seasons, minimalism now gives way to boldness in Pinterest Predicts 2026, which highlights a growing interest in bolder and visually impactful styles.
Silhouettes are reimagined, as are the color combinations that can be discovered within them. We take risks, aim for the ostentatious, and we use clothing, more than ever, as a means of expression. Make-up and accessories follow suit, striving to be noticed rather than subtly revealed.
Among the trends mentioned in Pinterest Predicts 2026, we discover:
- Glamoratti – a return of 80’s silhouettes with a luxury spirit, featuring graphic leather cuts, paired with shoulder pads, defined waists, and elaborate collars. All accessorized without restraint and in golden tones.
- Nature and the animal world inspire outfits and accessories. Deer, flower, or butterfly patterns and other insect-shaped jewelry are present from coats to fawn prints and dragonfly nail art.
- The brooch and gummy as essential accessories. The brooch becomes in 2026 the quintessential maximalist accessory, alongside gummy bear candies ready to invade our accessories and manicures.
- Mix and match and mismatch as a new creative line. This year, we step off the beaten path: make-up dares to clash with outfits, while fragrances are worn like a bouquet of multiple scents.
In addition to marking the return of lace and the vampire-romantic style, Pinterest Predicts 2026 also highlights a retro trend for little ones. Vintage and recycled clothing from our childhood is becoming trendy again, along with an appeal for wooden toys and those from the 70’s / 2000’s.
When 2026 encourages a double life
According to Pinterest Predicts 2026, it seems that everyday life lacks adventure and magic… Indeed, searches highlight a desire for escape to other worlds, more or less distant – and imaginary. The itinerary includes:
- Heading towards distant galaxies with outfits and make-up inspired by sci-fi, futuristic, and extraterrestrial themes (holographic fabrics and opalescent shadows will soon be out of stock).
- Globetrotters are more trendy than ever, with the return of khaki, camouflage patterns, Bermuda shorts, pocketed jackets, and linen pants – aka an adventurous style reminiscent of Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones.
- The call of the great cold, with a “glacier” aesthetic that takes over outfits, make-up, and drinks alike. So, prepare to see life in frosty blue this year.
This quest for adventure is also observed through searches related to car racing and thrilling activities. Additionally, destinations rooted in mystique are catching attention. Indeed, ethereal places are increasingly sought after for escape and to discover all their mysteries, ruins, abandoned castles, or unexplained motifs…
Our evenings will also plunge us into other worlds, notably with an attraction for opera aesthetics and their grand drapes and string quartets. (Our little birdie tells us that the new season of Bridgerton will accentuate the trend by bringing back the popularity of masked balls!).
Escape will also come through words, with the growing popularity of mail clubs (also known as snail mail), echoing book clubs and will be complemented by Poetcore.
What décor shines in Pinterest Predicts 2026?
In 2026, color and textures will find their place in our interiors, creating universes conducive to escape:
- Néo déco for a geometric and characterful interior, where vintage pieces, leather sofas, brass elements, red marble bathrooms, and other ancient desert tables take us back in time.
- The Afrohemian vibe inspires African boho lounges with warm, colorful tones, decorated with bead curtains, woven fiber accessories, and other adire fabrics.
- Cabbage returns to china cabinets after a previous success a few years ago. Apparently, we didn’t peel back this trend enough.
- In the children’s room, it’s the circus ambiance that invites itself, bringing cheer through paintings, furniture, and other décor accessories. The colors are bright, the curves playful, and the patterns full of life. These spaces will encourage their imagination!
Thus, a bold year is on the horizon according to Pinterest Predicts 2026!
