As every year, the moodboard platform reveals its predictions for the trends of the upcoming months. And between a vintage spirit, a quest for adventures, and mismatched colors, Pinterest Predicts 2026 heralds a return of boldness and imagination for this new chapter. Let’s discover the 21 fashion, makeup, decor, and lifestyle trends that are on the horizon.
Minimalism Out of Pinterest Predicts 2026
Having reigned over several seasons, minimalism is now giving way to boldness in Pinterest Predicts 2026, which highlights a growing interest in bolder and visually impactful styles.
Silhouettes are being reimagined, just like the color combinations that can be discovered within them. We are taking risks, aiming for the ostentatious, and we use clothing, more than ever, as a means of expression. Makeup and accessories are following suit, seeking to be noticed rather than subtly revealed.
Among the trends mentioned in Pinterest Predicts 2026, we find:
- Glamoratti – a return to 80’s silhouettes, luxury spirit, with graphic leather cuts, accompanied by shoulder pads, defined waists, and intricate collars. All this is accessorized without restraint and in golden tones.
- Nature and the animal world inspire outfits and accessories. Deer, flower, or butterfly motifs and other insect-shaped jewelry are present from coats to fawn prints to dragonfly nail art.
- The brooch and gummy as essential accessories. The brooch becomes in 2026 the quintessential maximalist accessory and will be seen alongside the gelatin candy in the shape of a bear, ready to invade our accessories and manicures.
- Mix and match and mismatched as a new creative line. This year, we are stepping off the beaten path: makeup dares to clash with outfits, while perfumes 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. Thus, vintage and recycled clothing from our childhood is becoming trendy again + an appeal for wooden toys and those from the 70’s / 2000’s.
When 2026 Encourages Living a Double Life
According to Pinterest Predicts 2026, it seems that everyday life is lacking in adventure and enchantment… Indeed, searches highlight a desire to escape to other lands, whether near or far – and imaginary. On the itinerary:
- Heading towards distant galaxies with outfits and makeup inspired by sci-fi, futuristic, and extraterrestrial themes (holographic fabrics and opalescent eyeshadows will soon be out of stock).
- Globetrotters are more trendy than ever, with the return of khaki, camouflage patterns, bermudas, and pocket jackets, and linen pants – aka an adventurous style between Jurassic Park and Indiana Jones.
- The call of the great cold, with a “glacier” aesthetic taking over outfits, makeup, and drinks alike. Thus, prepare to see life in frosty blue this year.
This quest for adventure is also reflected in searches related to car racing and thrill-seeking activities. Additionally, destinations rooted in mystique are drawing attention. Indeed, ethereal places are increasingly sought after to escape and discover all their mysteries, ruins, abandoned castles, or unexplained motifs…
Our evenings will also immerse us in other worlds, particularly with an appeal for opera aesthetics and its grand draperies and string quartets. (Our little birdie tells us that the new season of Bridgerton will accentuate the trend by reviving the popularity of masquerade balls!).
Escapism will also be invited through words, with the growing popularity of letter-writing clubs (also known as snail mail), echoing book clubs and will be complemented by Poetcore.
What Decor Shines in Pinterest Predicts 2026?
In 2026, color and textures are making their way into our interiors, creating worlds conducive to escape:
- Néo deco for a geometric and character-rich interior, where vintage pieces, leather sofas, brass elements, red marble bathrooms, and other antique desert pieces 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 finds its place in china cabinets, after a first success a few years ago. It seems we haven’t peeled back enough of this trend.
- In the kids’ room, it’s the circus atmosphere that is invited in, bringing good cheer through paintings, furniture, and other decor accessories. The colors are bright, the curves playful, and the patterns full of life. These spaces will encourage their imagination!
Thus, it’s a year full of character that is shaping up according to Pinterest Predicts 2026!
