2025 Pinterest Predicts trend report
“Our 2025 Pinterest Predicts trend report signals a return to maximalism, boldness and daring styles with trends like ‘Surreal Soirees’, ‘Chaos Cakes’ and ‘Castlecore’.
In 2025, more will be more. With Gen Z now making up over 40% of Pinterest’s user base, their influence is directly affecting which trends and themes are taking off. In fact, 65% of this year’s trends are inspired by Gen Z. We can’t wait to see how Pinners will bring these trends to life,” commented Sydney Stanback, Global Trends and Insights Lead at Pinterest.
