Trend forecasting can be tricky business, especially with the endless influx of fast-to-rise-and-fall fads — but not for Pinterest. Today, the platform unveiled its fifth annual Pinterest Predicts trend report, backed by an in-depth analysis of billions of Pinterest searches and engagement signals to give us all a glimpse of what we’re going to see as the top aesthetics for 2025. Considering the success rate of the visual discovery platform’s predictions over the past few years, there’s no better way to start planning for the year ahead than diving into the wonderful world of these exciting trend concepts across fashion, beauty, and lifestyle categories. Best of all, Pinterest is also launching trend drops, which will give lucky users a chance to try on next year’s trends before everyone else. From 14-carat tooth gems, to free trips to the mountains, and even a hand-painted piano, users will be able to try out these cool aesthetics beyond the mood boards to IRL experiences.

The Pinterest Predicts trends to come in the year ahead have a common thread of bold statement-making forms of expression, allowing the individual to embrace their authentic self through strong style choices that lean towards maximalism over minimalism — a stark contrast from the rise of trends like “quiet luxury” in previous years.

When looking to the future, it helps to reflect on the past to best understand the trend progressions, so WWD saw this as the perfect opportunity to pin some of our iconic archival imagery from the past decades with of-the-moment street style photographs to highlight our favorite Pinterest Predicts 2025 trends that’ll serve as your new style inspirations.

Moto Boho Trend

Softness with strength is embodied in the moto boho trend that’s revved up the fashion world. ’70s-style maxi dresses, billowy blouses, and ankle-sweeping skirts made of airy chiffon, silk, and delicate lace are armed with heavy-duty leather goods that bring these ethereal creations down to earth with an effortlessly cool effect. The juxtaposition of ultrafeminine fluidity and resilient ruggedness has long been a successful fashion formula, but what makes moto modern and boho far from boring is the refined result of mastering a rich mix of textures and striking silhouettes. Moto boots are ready to hit the road or runway in supple calfskin leather, sensual suede takes on a life of its own in the form of fringe, and smooth studs appear more ritzy than rocker. Metal bangles and pendant necklaces complete the contemporary look that’s romantic and real.

Get ready to ride the rhapsody of today’s top fashion trend.

Fisherman Aesthetic Trend

Oceanic influences have served as an endless source of inspiration. Last year’s under-the-sea movement makes landfall in the fisherman aesthetic, evoking a sense of seaside ease with a refreshing salt water breeze (whether you’re living by shore or not). Utilitarian garb and fair isle flair take on a touch of camp with nautical kitsch, from crustacean creations for your home to jewelry and bag charms that can only be described as fin-flippin’ fantastic.

Feeling fishy about this fashion trend? The wave of fisherman aesthetic elements have flooded designer runways over the last few seasons, from colorful rope laces on hiking-inspired footwear to the flying popularity of fisherman sandals and boat shoes with warm, wooly socks. Timeless fisherman jackets are essentially the coastal equivalent of barn jackets, as are classic cable knits to traditional fisherman sweaters, while the Breton stripe has held a steady course as a year-round closet staple for decades. The shift in dress that keeps elemental protection at top of mind by way of rain coats and lug-soled boots represents a sea change in dressing for hard-to-predict weather conditions.

Catch some of our favorite pieces before they fly off the shelves.

Cherry Coded Trend

Sweet, sour and oh-so-stylish, the dark cherry red trend has been booming in fashion collections for a few seasons, and for 2025, it’s ripe for the picking to dominate product categories from makeup to fragrances and even home décor. The color that symbolizes passion, richness, ambition, and sophistication is an apt choice to pair with a variety of colors — neutrals, neons and pastels, too — however, nothing is quite as striking as a head-to-toe cherry coded concoction. Matte or glossy, the cherry vibe is equally alluring on all types of fabrics and beauty formulas.

Enter your red era with a taste of these cherry delights.

Goddess Complex Trend

It’s time to unleash your inner goddess. Shine a light on your feminine beauty and strength in draped, body-skimming dresses with a light layer of shimmery body oil to radiate from the inside out. Gilded touches of gold eyeshadow accentuate the eyes, a touch of light-catching lip gloss enhances your heavenly pout and goddess nails add sparkle to your golden touch. To accent the shape of your feminine curves, long wavy locks and gorgeous goddess braids complete the look that showcases your divine aura as you enter any room.

Live your life like it’s golden with these must-haves to show your celestial beauty.

Dolled Up Trend

Welcome to the dollhouse, where exaggerated proportions play up your childlike sense of wonder and joy. Dolled up in sweet Mary Jane shoes, an extra pop of rosy blush, and a heavy dose of colorful gemstones, this 2025 trend is meant to bring your creativity to life with a cheeky nod to all things girlhood. Fashion’s current love of coquettish bows, gold heart jewelry, and a pastel color palette makes it easy to embrace doll-like prettiness for those who are young at heart. Dolls, more is more when it comes to this aesthetic, so don’t be afraid to add an extra bit of frill or charm to your bag of the day or give your cutesy patent shoes a darling sock to match.

Made of plastic, porcelain, or just a real woman with an extraordinary imagination, dress-up has never been more fun, thanks to these bits and baubles.
