The Biggest Fashion Trends For 2026, According To Pinterest

When Pinterest predicts a trend, it usually sticks. The platform, which is used by over 500 million people each month across the world, has built a name for itself as a reliable crystal ball for culture, shopping and style. With an 88 percent accuracy rate over the last six years, the annual Pinterest Predicts report has become a go-to resource not just for trendsetters, but for brands, marketers and anyone looking to stay ahead of what’s next.

For 2026, Pinterest has identified over 20 rising trends across fashion, beauty, lifestyle, and design. But if you’re only going to keep your eye on a few, let these five standout shifts lead your moodboard.

What Will Be Trendy in 2026?

Pinterest predicts 2026’s biggest trends will be about individuality, told through texture, tone, and throwback flair. Lace will take on new life across wardrobes and accessories under the “Laced Up” trend. “Glamouratti” sees maximalism make a bold, shoulder-padded comeback. “Brooched” transforms old-school embellishments into new-age cool. “Cool Blue” freezes out neutrals with a frosty, glacial palette. And “Poet-core” lets your inner wordsmith dress the part with layers, satchels and intellectual flair.

1. Laced Up

Lace sets the pace in 2026, bringing unexpected elegance to everything from bomber jackets to doily-inspired beauty. This is not your grandmother’s lace. Instead, the new permutations are directional, intricate, and gently theatrical. Pinterest calls it “a gentle reminder that more is more: especially when it’s this gorgeous”

Flounced lace blouse, $119, & Other Stories

Softly structured and slightly sheer, this cocoa-toned blouse gives the lace trend a grounded, grown-up feel. The flounce detailing at the yoke adds movement, while the romantic high collar means you can skip the jewellery.

Satin lace-trimmed skirt, $422, 3.1 Phillip Lim at Farfetch

A clever contrast between sultry and sweet, this A-line skirt features lace inserts that peek out just enough to suggest, not shout. Pair it with a slouchy knit or silk blouse to make it office-hour appropriate.

Yvonne 85 lace sandals, $1,480, Gianvito Rossi at Mytheresa

White lace meets minimalist leather in this daring pair of stiletto sandals. The sheer panels elevate the silhouette with delicate femininity, making them perfect for garden parties or courthouse weddings.

2. Glamouratti

The decade of decadence is back in style. Think sculpted tailoring, oversized lapels, bold cuffs and retro power moves. Pinterest pegs it as “the return of the baggy suit, chunky belts and ’80s luxury,” and will likely be led by Gen Z and millennial shoppers who are more than ready for a little drama.

Faux leather gloves, $40.99, ASOS

The Glamouratti queen doesn’t take cold weather as a reason to dress off-duty. These buttery burgundy gloves serve style and practicality, thanks to touchscreen-friendly fingers and a rich burgundy hue that pairs well with camel coats or over-the-top furs.

Double-breasted blazer dress, $259, Zara

Cut with a cinched waist and bold shoulders, this dress walks the line between CEO and Studio 54. The wide lapels and the razor-sharp tailoring scream expensive, even if it won’t burn a hole in your wallet.

Gold-plated hoop earrings, US$195 (S$252), Laura Lombardi at Net-A-Porter

Classic, chunky, and just the right size to peek through a cascade of curls. These gold hoops channel vintage energy with a contemporary gloss finish.

3. Brooched

Brooches are having a gleamingly good time in 2026. What used to be associated with grandmothers is now cropping up on lapels, ties, scarves and yes, even socks. Pinterest calls it “part tribute, part reinvention” as vintage pins and heirloom pieces are reimagined into modern style statements

Vanda Hybrid Orchid 24-karat gold brooch, $190, Risis

Designed to double as both brooch and pendant, this delicate orchid blooms with Singaporean elegance. A gold-plated, nature-inspired piece that quietly elevates any look.

Anagram brooch, $750, Loewe

Minimalism meets heritage in this sculptural brooch shaped like Loewe’s iconic monogram. Pin it to a structured blazer or on a knit cap for a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment of cool.

Metal, resin, glass pearls & diamantes brooch, $1,130, Chanel

More than an accessory, this is a conversation starter. The intricate blend of diamantes and pearls gives the piece a distinctively glamorous energy without being gauche.

4. Cool Blue

Move over warm neutrals, because 2026 is bringing a subzero shift. From glacial-toned eyeshadow to icy outerwear, “Cool Blue” is all about sophistication with a chill. Pinterest describes it as “the temp drop we’ve all been waiting for”, so prepare to get icy cool.

Smocked dress, $29.90, H&M

With gentle smocking and a powder blue hue, this lightweight dress adds a hint of softness to your 9-to-5 wardrobe. The subtly flared-out cutting also keeps it from feeling too clingy.

An icy blue lace-covered flats with straps? Say no more. This pair adds instant polish to monochrome outfits or makes a perfectly-comfortable weekend shoe moment.

Dulcis cocktail ring, $104, Swarovski

Faceted like frozen glass, this oversized ring glows with heart-shaped mischief. Wear it solo for maximum sparkle, or stack it with clear stones to really lean into the frost.

5. Poet-core

Fashion gets bookish in 2026 with “poet-core”, an aesthetic that blends vintage tailoring with nostalgic academia. As Pinterest puts it, this trend is for those “channeling their inner wordsmiths with oversized turtlenecks, vintage blazers and messenger bags”.

Openwork knitted sweater with ruffles, $75.90, Mango

A little bit romantic, a little bit eccentric, this open-knit sweater layers easily over dresses or turtlenecks. The ruffled shoulders lend a touch of Victorian drama.

Poplin pleated checked mini skirt, US$545 (S$704), Thom Browne at The Outnet

A checked wool mini skirt cut with poplin panels and crisp pleats? Absolutely. This piece adds structure to the softness of the poet-core look, and wouldn’t look out of place at a lecture or a book launch party.

Siena saddle bag, $739, DeMellier

Poet-core requires a satchel, and this one delivers. Made in deep tan suede with gold hardware, it’s functional, classic, and tells the world, “I read Lord Byron”.
