When it comes to trending topics, there’s no one we trust more than Pinterest. You see, millions of users flock to the social media platform on the daily in search of inspo. They’re looking up everything from the best mattifying primers to tips on wrapping presents to home decor inspiration. And with each and every search, Pinterest is keeping track of what the People are into. They’re also able to forecast what the next big trends will be, thanks to all this information. So when we had the chance to catch up with Pinterest and see what Pinterest 2020 trends are about to happen, we knew we had to.

Pinterest just released their annual report of the top 100 trends to come in the new year—and this year’s list has us seriously inspired to do more good, get started on more DIY projects, and get more into nature in 2020. (Plus, isn’t it relieving to know that we, as a collective, seem to be more interested in the trends that will help better our earth? No? Just me?)

The top 100 trends are categorized into 10 cultural themes: beyond binary, conscious consumption, finding balance, home hub, internationally inspired, pampered pets, responsible travel, re-wilding, space everything and ’90s rerun. By the looks of it, 2020 will be a year full of environmentally-conscious decisions and exciting (and responsible!) travel and healthy relationships with our homes.

Scroll through to see Pinterest’s forecast for 2020 trends and stay ahead of the curve before the new year even starts.

1. Beyond Binary

What’s a gender? In 2020, a more flexible and accepting approach to gender identity will be present. Of course, don’t call this just a trend, though. We’re just saying that Pinterest has been seeing a rise in searches for unisex clothing, gender-neutral names, and androgynous wedding wear. To get specific about it, searches for gender-neutral names increased by at least 301 percent and gender-neutral haircuts by more than 625 percent. Unisex nursery searched went up by 527 percent along with unisex clothes, which increased by 119 percent in searches year over year. I don’t know about you, but that means like a lot of interest to me.

2. ’90s Rerun

When it came to fashion searches in 2019, Pinners were all about bringing back the greatest trends of the ’90s. “Hair scrunchie” saw a whopping 6,309 percent increase in searches, cementing their stay as the reigning hair accessories. “’90s grunge fashion” had a 292 percent increase, and “Y2K outfits” saw a huge 669 percent increase in searches year over year.
