There’s a lot to look forward to in 2022, according to Pinterest.
The visual discovery engine and social media company just released its annual report, detailing the biggest "not-yet-trending" trends to watch out for in 2022. From colorful clothing to nature-inspired nail art, we’re pretty excited about their predictions for the coming year.
To create the report, Pinterest analyzed data from more than 400 million users around the world to discover what people are searching for across categories like home, fashion, beauty and food and find the emerging topics in each space.
Here, we’re highlighting some of our favorite beauty and fashion trends from this year’s Pinterest Predicts report. Plus, we added some of our own suggestions on how to style each one. Considering that 80% of the company’s predictions came true this past year, we bet you’ll be seeing a lot of these trends popping up in the next few months.
