Feeling bold and blue
Millennials and Gen Z are going to step away from neutrals in more ways than in the upcoming year. Trendsetters are looking for ways to incorporate the hue into their nail art and makeup looks.
Searches for "fun blue nails," are up by 260%. Searches for blue eyeshadow, aqua makeup, and blue makeup looks are also rising. One manicurist, Hannah Lee, told Business Insider that she expects denim blue nail polish to rise in popularity this winter.
Blue makeup won't just be an everyday experiment. Searches for blue makeup to wear to formal events, like prom and quinceanera,s are also increasing.
Bows galore
Searches for the terms "bow outfit" and "bow necklace" were up 190% and 180% respectively. So, don't be surprised if you find yourself unable to escape bows and ribbons in 2024.
One celebrity stylist also told Business Insider to expect a resurgence in bow accessories on the horizon. This may not come as a surprise if you follow fashion influencers on TikTok, as videos of creators using ribbons to accessorize have garnered millions of views.
The bow's rise in popularity is probably a nod to the "coquette," aesthetic, which according to Vogue, is all about embracing soft femininity. This trend, which has also blown up on TikTok, revolves around hearts, glitter, floral prints, and all things soft and girly.

However, the trend may already be getting a bit out of control, as those who search the term on TikTok might be met with videos of people tying pink ribbons to ice cubes and chicken tenders.
If you like keeping up with fashion but don't like shelling out hundreds of dollars on microtrends, then you're in luck. Chances are you already have a spool of ribbon packed away in your closet.
Western gothic
The combination of two unlikely aesthetics might just lasso you in next year. Western Gothic combines dark tones with spurs, studs, leather, and fringe.
Searches for the term "Western Gothic" are up 145%. We will mostly see people incorporate this aesthetic into their homes, with "western bedding ideas," up 310% and "country room ideas" up 125%.
Cafecore in 2024
According to Pinterest, the desire to bring the coffee shop to your own kitchen is increasing, especially among baby boomers and Gen X. Searches for "coffee bar styling" are up a whopping 1,125%.
Users are also searching for "chalk sign ideas," "cafe chalkboard," and "coffee station decor." Perhaps coffee lovers are looking for less expensive ways to make their morning cup, while still getting that calming coffee shop experience.
Things might get a little fishy
Millennials and Gen X seem to be taking an interest in making sure their finned friends have the most stylish tank. Interest in "small aquarium design" is up 245% and "fish tank theme ideas" is up 410%.
One 2019 report showed that millennials really adore their houseplants. A growing interest in planted terrariums and caring for small animals like fish and turtles may have stemmed from a love of plants.
Spending in style
As it turns out, piggy banks aren't just a childhood staple anymore. Searches related to piggy banks are on the rise. Searches for "credit card stickers" are also on the rise, up 140%.
Deep conversations
As it turns out, young Pinterest users aren't a fan of small talk. In 2024, don't be shocked if you find yourself getting into deeper discussions with your Gen Z and millennial pals.

Skincare: it's not just for the face anymore

Searches for "body care" are up 845% and "body skincare routine" is up 1,025%. Pinterest expects that consumers will start investing in luxurious lotions and scrubs to practice wellness and unwind.
Combat sports
Maybe Mark Zuckerberg is onto something.
It's time to push aside your pilates regimen and for your spin classes to step aside. 2024 is going to be all about using combat sports as a way to relieve pent-up stress. Pinterest trends predict that martial arts is going to be all the rage.
Pinterest noted that searches for "kickboxing aesthetic" went up 265% and "mixed martial arts training" surged 200%. Jiu-jitsu, which Zuckerberg practices, also saw a 30% increase in searches.
A smash-hit sport
Pickleball may have been all the rage over the past couple of years, but some Millennials and Gen Z may prefer to ditch the paddle and make a little racket. Searches for badminton bags, rackets, shoes, and outfits are surging. According to Pinterest, there's even been a rise in searches for "badminton trash talk."
2024 will be all about the tropical getaway

Recipes with a taste of the tropics are also trending, with searches for pineapple mocktails, pineapple upside-down cake, and Hawaiian sheet pan chicken on the rise.
Showing that snooze button some love
In 2024, young people may be looking to take it slow, get some sleep, and stay at home. Action-packed family vacations that are planned down to the minute may be a tougher sell.
Searches for staycations, slow life, and digital detoxes were up. ASMR is still well-loved, as searches for "ASMR sleep" are up 165%. This focus on relaxation doesn't mean that young adults have lost their sense of adventure, however, as "solo traveling" searches are up 145%.
