Whether you're creating a vision board for the décor of your future home or are looking for inspiration to style your dream wedding dress, Pinterest is a handy way to visualise future events.
The social media app is a pleasing exhibition of what the world is searching for when it comes to food, fashion, photography, travel and much more.
With this in mind, it makes sense that the people of Pinterest might know what way the trends are leaning as we enter 2023.
Using global search data to compare the analysis period of September 2020 to September 2022, the team say that picking trends is equal parts art and science.
Here are just some of the trends Pinterest predicts will pop up in the months ahead:
Airy Styles
2023 fashion will be filled with lace, tulle, ruffles and shimmer for everyone based on rising searches from Gen Z and Millennials. "Ruffle shirt for men" and "sheer pants outfit" are just two examples of this tulle-y trend.
Rust Married
Hues of terracotta, copper and burnt sienna will be frequent guests at weddings this year. Based on rising searches from Millennials and Gen X, you'll see this smoldering color everywhere in 2023, from floral arrangements to bridesmaid dresses.
Gemini Hair
In 2023, two-toned tresses will take off more than ever. Gen Z and Millennials are behind this rising trend in hair color that mixes natural hues with bright blues, purples and pinks—"blue and black braids" and "lavender and blonde hair" are on the up.
Micro Makeover
Millennials and Gen Z are trading in their long, coffin-shaped nails for mini French manis. They'll opt for short braids and chopped bangs instead of long, luscious locks. In 2023, small beauty gets its big break.
Chance of Showers
No bath? No problem. 2023 will be all about the elevated shower routine. Gen X and Boomers will turn rinsing into a ritual in the year ahead, searching for shower bombs and home spa bathrooms.
Primal movement
Anti-tech workouts invite people to put down their phones and prioritize posture. Gen X and Millennials are driving this trend up, with searches like "primal movement" and "neck hump exercises" jumping this coming year.
Dating Different
In the year ahead, Gen Z will embark on a different kind of dating experience, opting for experiential outings like bookstore dates, museum meet cutes and aquarium adventures.
Mush-rooms
Boring homes, be gone. In 2023, Gen Z and Boomers will make room for weirdcore design, mushroom decor and fantasy art in their sacred spaces.
Romcom Core
In 2023, Gen Z and Millennials will romanticize their closets with slip dresses, tube tops, cargo pants and claw clips. Get ready for a new kind of meet-cute, inspired by your favorite romantic comedies from the 2000s.
Beyond Blue and Pink
Gender norms are shifting—and parenting approaches are, too. Searches among Gen Z and Millennials show a desire to break down the binary as they raise the next generation. From pronoun flashcards and gender flags to self-identity art and unisex names, they're proudly practicing gender-neutral parenting.
Home Front
In 2023, the front porch will get the spotlight treatment. Rising searches suggest Boomers and Gen X will adorn their entrances with elaborate decor and embellishments.
Vitamin Seaweed
A long-standing staple in Asian cultures, ocean-based foods and minerals are growing in popularity among Millennials and Gen X all over the globe thanks to their much-needed health benefits. Everything from green algae and nori to seaweed snacks is trending up.
