FunHaus–i.e. circus-inspired home decor–will also be hot in 2026, thanks to Boomers and Millennials. Prepare to see lots of bold stripes, sculptural silhouettes, and clownish charm. Vintage-inspired outfits and classic toys will continue to be popular.
In the kitchen, Boomers and Gen X will get really into cabbage, from kimchi cocktails to crispy taco wraps.
Another nostalgic trend: “expect a letter writing renaissance in 2026,” the report says.
We’re curating our identities now
Trends aren’t cultural mandates; they’re opportunities for identity curation and personal expression, according to Pinterest.
In fashion and style, this will play out in trends including Afrohemian (a blend of African and bohemian) decor; Glamoratti (decadence is back); Poetcore (think oversized turtlenecks, vintage blazers, and messenger satchels); and an explosion of khaki, brooches, and lace.
Also, good news for those who haven’t been able to perfect winged eyeliner: Glitchy Glam is in. “Gen Z and Millennials will rock mismatched manicures, two-toned lipstick, and bright eyeshadow in two binary hues,” the report says.
