The Biggest Fashion Trends For 2026, According To Pinterest
By Aaron Kok – published
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.

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”

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.

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”.
