Discover morePinterest has done it again! A new edition of Pinterest Predicts 2026, a reveal of the trends that will shape the year.
Every year, the social network publishes Pinterest Predicts, a study that highlights the themes that will become trends based on dominant and rising searches from more than 480 million users around the world. In this context, a trends report can be especially valuable for advertisers who want to detect emerging topics and reach their target audience ahead of time.
These searches also allow brands to anticipate trends and build their strategies. Considering that more than 80% of users on the platform have larger shopping carts than on other platforms, and that most of them use Pinterest to plan their purchases based on the content they see, you should definitely consider Pinterest for your business.
In fact, over the last four years, 80% of Pinterest’s predictions have come true. And that’s probably due to the platform’s main purpose: inspiration, visual discovery and planning.
Before you start thinking about how to run a Pinterest Ads campaign for your e-commerce, make sure you don’t miss the platform’s trends for 2026.
TABLE OF CONTENTS
This year, Pinterest has published 21 official trends that will redefine fashion, beauty, home aesthetics, visual culture, food and even the way we experience creativity.
Yes, 21. And each of them comes with its own name, a strong visual identity and a strategic reading for brands.
Here you have six trends that will shape brand strategies, grouped in a smart way so they are useful for marketing, content and creative planning.
A fun, shiny and almost “edible” aesthetic. Neon tones, gummy-like textures, glossy surfaces and rounded shapes.
Why it matters:
Because it connects directly with Gen Z and Gen Alpha, audiences that look for self-expression and visual play. It’s the opposite of minimalism.
Marketing opportunities:
Perfect for Pinterest Ads, TikTok and Meta thanks to its strong scroll-stopping power.

Eighties glamour, updated: shoulder pads, metallics, shine, volume and a theatrical presence that demands the spotlight.
Why it matters
It’s the ideal trend for Q4 campaigns, festive moments, accessible luxury and premium fashion. In paid media, these aesthetics often outperform CTR benchmarks thanks to their visual impact.
Opportunities

Art déco returns in a contemporary version: clean geometries, strong contrasts, sturdy metals, elegant curves and deep tones.
Why it matters
Because it touches several industries at once: decoration, interior design, fashion, accessories, branding, product. It’s aspirational, refined and easy to replicate with AI.
Opportunities

The strongest trend in the beauty sector: scent layering. Mixing fragrances to create personalized perfumes.
Why it matters
Because it drives cross-sell, increases average order value and encourages repeat purchases. Pinterest highlights this as one of the most active trends in terms of searches.

Opportunities

The home becomes a show: primary colours, bold patterns, sculptural objects and playful decor.
Why it matters
Because it signals the end of endless beige. New generations want personality, fun and objects that express who they are.
Opportunities
A theatrical, dramatic, elegant and luxurious aesthetic: voluminous dresses, stage lighting, deep shadows and intense colours.
Why it matters
It’s the ideal trend for brands that want to stand out with a premium, cinematic look. It works especially well for beauty, fashion, jewellery and events.
