Take A Look At These 16 Things That Are Supposed To Become Massive Trends In 2024 According To Pinterest
Every December we make a list of resolutions that we want to achieve during the new year. At the same time, at least some of us also try to guess what is going to happen in our lives. And the internet is one of those platforms for guessing about newness.
At the end of 2023, Pinterest made a whole list of their predictions and new and trendy things that will dominate everyone’s lives in 2024.

Slowcation
Instead of booking overly busy vacations, in 2024 people will tend to book slowcations - vacations, where they can actually rest their bodies. “More lazy mornings in bed!” can be called a motto for the new year.
I approve. I hate being rushed on vacation and prefer going somewhere for a whole month and exploring things at my own pace. After one of those 2 days here 1 day here, etc running around holidays I'd probably need a vacation just to recuperate.
Having worked retail the last few years & now from a position with a lot more responsibility & demand, I need an effing sabbatical. The level of entitlement from people has gone next level. I'm down for a slowcation!
Load More Replies...No they won't. People will do the same mix of stuff they have been doing since forever and the media will chose a thing to focus on and claim that is what everyone is doing. Same as most years. Though I do think people being broke will contribute to more lower key vacations for those who can afford a vacation.
This. People who enjoy this type of vacation will continue to do so, and vice versa. I certainly won't be changing my vacation preferences because someone said they're not trendy anymore.
Load More Replies...Just went on vacation to Costa Rica over Thanksgiving and both my husband and I agreed not to load it with excursions. We booked one and that was perfect. Got to leave the resort, see the actual country and meet the awesome citizens. Seriously, Costa Ricans are my favorite people from any of the vacations ever! Anyhoo the rest if the vacation we slept in, spent the day at the pools and swimming in the ocean, sun tanning and enjoying the delicious food. No rushing to get from one place to another. It's my favorite vacation ever. So relaxing. Just what we needed!
Been doing this past few days, at least the staying in bed part 😁
I take a weekend, check into a hotel and only leave my room for food. minimal to no human contact. I sleep, read, watch TV, craft - stay off social media. Family knows contact ONLY in emergency. WONDERFUL
One Person's Trash Is Another Person's Treasure
2024 will be a sustainability year. As of 2023, the search for ways to use leftover wood scraps for do-it-yourself projects went up by a whopping +1,220%, while the search for ways to use up other kinds of waste materials from craft works went up by +140%. That suggests that the interest for such projects will be even higher in the new year.
And it involves not only DIY but food as well, as the searches in 2023 show that a search for leftover recipes went up by +165%.
Searches for leftover food recipes went up because who can afford new food? Watch for recipes for wood scraps in 2024.
Jazz Revival
In 2024 electronic beats will be replaced by a blast from the past - vintage jazz. And it won’t be only in music, as it will also touch fashion and interior design. This possible trend was suggested by the rise of searches such as jazz aesthetic clothing (+180%), piano jazz (+105%), and many other similar ones.
Have recently discovered "Electroswing", it's actually pretty cool, especially the videos of people dancing to it.
Homemade Spa
As skincare has been in the spotlight for quite some time now, Pinterest guesses that it will have to share it with body care in 2024. People will be creating their homemade spas with luxury lotions and SPFs as the search for the so-called “spa aesthetic” went up 60% last year.

The Rise Of Kitschens (Kitschy Kitchens)
They say the party always moves to the kitchen. But sometimes, the kitchen is the party. This year, Gen X and Boomers will spruce up their cooking areas with thrifted finds, vintage appliances and jarring pops of paint. No minimalist aesthetic is safe.
People have been doing this for eons, not sure how this is a "trend"
The thing is, "decorated kitchens" are only practical if you have a larger kitchen and/or don't use your kitchen for very much. Small (read slightly more affordable) places usually don't have much extra counter space for stuff you don't need and if you cook a lot things tend to get a very fine layer of dust and oil on them. Doesn't build up on things you are routinely using / cleaning but can build up on the little nick knack decoration that just sits there.
There are plenty of things that can go on walls, including shelves to hold vintage and decorative stuff, and plants if there’s enough natural light.
Load More Replies...The Bigger The Better
Voluminous hairstyles and oversized jewelry will be the peak of beauty in 2024. This was assumed due to such searches as “big bun” (+230%) and “sculptural jewelry” (+75%) dominating beauty search results in 2023.
Hair spray sales jump 10000%, and so do severe burns from people's hair catching on fire! 😁
Load More Replies...Thank god cos I love my oversized hair and accessories and I didn’t even grow up through the 80s (I did in early 90s, but I didn’t care about fashion at 3-4!).
Cafécore
Apparently, in 2024 we are going to see the rise of at-home coffee stations, which will replace people’s trips to coffee shops. And these at-home coffee stations are going to be no joke - they will include nearly everything you can wish for - from various types of coffee to even some coffee shop decor like chalk signs. And Pinterest dubs it as “Cafécore.”
so on one hand we dont have money for anything and everything is so expensive but on the other, we are supposed to host a complete coffeeshop at home.
Higher cost up front, but supposedly saves over time --you aren't burning gas to go to Starbucks, reusable coffee cups, and coffee the way you like it. No worries though if you don't want to make your own coffee, I suspect there will always be coffee shops.
Load More Replies...I smell a marketing machine. "People are struggling financially and we expect a downturn in buying coffee out. Let's capitalize on that and convince people the hot new thing is buying a bunch of coffee accessories for your house". == PSA: You can have good 'near espresso' at home for under 100 bucks. Affordable decent quality beans from Costco (or wherever). A decent coffee grinder (min was under $30 at Costco). A stovetop Italian coffee maker. I have a couple I got at garage sales for under $5. If you like cream and flavor syrup - see if you have a local restaurant supply store. (I even make my own avocado toast - haha)
I've had my own coffee cafe in my kitchen for years. Stocked with different kinds of coffee, creamer, syrups, two coffee makers in case my husband wants a different coffee than me. Different kinds of sugar substitutes, grinder, foam maker everything! Not only do we get exactly what we want, but we aren't wasting money or supporting a large company that doesn't do right by their employees. Win, win.
I've got a filter coffee machine, a French press and a stovetop espresso pot... Think I'm all set, thanks.
I love my espresso machine, used some surprise money to purchase it. It has increased my quality of life, cappuccino every morning at home the way I like it. Huzzah!
According to Pinterest and Facebook this has already been the trend for the last couple of years!
Futuristic Vibe
Cool silver tones and bold chrome are the colors that are becoming popular right now, which will make melty metallics take center stage in 2024, as they will replace neutral metallics in jewelry, fashion, and decor. This was assumed as "nail art metallic," went +295% in searches in 2023, along with increased search for aluminum door designs and silver necklaces layered.
The design was very futuristic in its day. This era and the 20s were obsessed with metallic future fashions and predictions
Load More Replies...We Will Be Punching The Air
The way to relieve stress in 2024 will be punching the air. That means that such sports as karate, jiu-jitsu, and kickboxing will be at the top, just as it was on Pinterest search results in 2023.
Sorry boss, I was just punching the air. Not my fault you walked by me
Tropical Treatment
In the new year, we will see the rise of tropical decor and aesthetics, as people will wish to incorporate some vacation vibe into their daily lives. Tropics will dominate nearly everything from decor to food, as in 2023 searches like “Tropical chic décor” or “Pineapple mocktails” went up to the heights it hasn’t before.
Yay. Now when I constantly say ‘let’s get tropical!!!’ I won’t be out of place 😂
Bye Coastal Grandma, Hello Grandpa Core
Your grandad will be another style icon of 2024, especially between Gen Z and Boomers, who will embrace “grandpa core" - vintage clothing. So, if you want to be stylish in 2024, consider digging through your grandpa’s closet.
Umm whose grandpa? Mine were more Captain America's generation, but the biggest grandpa group these days is the one who were young in the 60s and 70s. That's kind of a huge style difference there
You notice how many of these "predictions" boil down to "people are broke and will try to save money"? Make coffee at home. spa day at home, do less vacation, wear your grandpa's old clothing, punch the air (without a VR headset). Also, my "grandpa core" will be the same as last year. Lounge pants and cotton tee shirts. (Jeans if I'm out in public). I'm a grandpa but I'm not a grandpa from the 1800s
🎵 "I'm gonna pop some tags, only got twenty dollah in my pock-et...."🎵
What are they talking about? I am a boomer and along withmany of my peers my parents have not been alive for years.
I see the return of Grandad shirts, but as we bought all the 2nd hand ones in the 80s the rest of you will have to buy new
Badminton Aesthetic
In 2024 one of the most compelling aesthetics will be badminton. In fact, it is predicted that Gen Z and Millennials will be smitten with this sport and everything related to it, as in 2023 searches from “badminton outfit” to “playing badminton aesthetic” were trending. Maybe it’s time to pick up a racket?
Used to play with the "birdies", they reminded me of tiny tipis🏸
A Groovy Blast From The Past
The 70s will be making a comeback in 2024 as an inspiration for weddings. In fact, the search for “groovy wedding” went up by +170%, and the search for “groovy hen party outfit” rose by +110%. So, let’s just expect to see weddings be dominated by disco and hippy decor.
This seems a bit vague. The slang "groovy" originated in the 1920s and the internet tells me "Groovy (or, less commonly, groovie or groovey) is a slang colloquialism popular during the 1950s, '60s and '70s." I can personally recall it from the 60s/70s. However the timing is about right. Many fashion type things tend to follow a 50 year (or so?) cycle. Like wait long enough and old thing feels new to younger people.
Bow Stacking
In 2024 youth will finish their looks by tying a bow on their outfits, shoes, jewelry, and hair. The delicate detail will have a not-so-delicate year as it will be used frequently by both fashion influences and the public. After all, even in 2023 it already garnered quite some attention, for example, the rising search for “bow necklace” by 180%.
Of course, there will be clothing/accessory manufacturers who take the style to its most ludicrous extreme, and will totally c**p up perfectly good designs with way too many bows, none of which can be removed without damaging the cloth and making the item unwearable, and leave people who want to find a simple unadorned shirt, dress, or pair of pants totally out in the cold. Clothing will be buried in bows, yet STILL have NO goddamned useable POCKETS!
I saw a woman last summer with a red tank top with a huge bow across the front and I loved it. I tried searching online for the shirt, no luck. Bring on the bows
So, sticking with the look that has been popular for about five years?
Step Away Neutrals, Aquamarine Is Back
It is predicted that youth will start moving away from neutral tones to something bolder, which soon will conquer nail art and makeup looks. Aquamarine is also predicted to have its big moment of comeback in 2024, along with other blues. And it is all due to the fact that searches such as “fun blue nails” and “aqua make-up look” rose up in 2023.
I wouldn’t say extreme so much as very amateur and tacky 😂 I’m a professional mermaid performer and I wouldn’t be caught dead looking this bad
Load More Replies...Looks like a five-year-old did her makeup. Or she was already three sheets to the wind at the time.
I don't have a "favorite" color but I do tend to lean towards blues and purples
Big Talk Instead Of Small Talk
2024 is going to be all about getting vulnerable and building deeper connections. And for that deep conversation topics will be used instead of small talk. After all, we all hated small talk, so, maybe deep conversations are only for the best right?
No different for me then... I enjoy a good conversation with close friends and family. There's always room for a bit of chit-chat, though.
Wouldn’t it be cool to later see this article on “aged like milk” or “aged like wine?”
Never been a trend follower... Nor setter. I'm planning to live the same quiet life I've enjoyed this past year.
I saw an ad the other day where the person was deciding whether or not to upgrade their watch. If my dammed watch needs to connect to the Internet, I quit!
