Pinterest, the oracle of trends, transported visitors into the future with a captivating pop-up in NYC’s Meatpacking district. Through immersive displays and QR code-enabled shopping, Pinterest not only unveiled its 2024 predictions but transformed them into a tangible retail experience, bridging the gap between online inspiration and real-world consumption.
Jellyfish Chic: The "Be Jelly" Trend
The journey began in a room adorned with larger-than-life pink jellyfish, heralding the rise of the "Be Jelly" trend. From pink jelly high heels to translucent, iridescent lamps and a bulbous white stool, Pinterest predicts that consumers in 2024 will be captivated by the mesmerizing allure of jellyfish-inspired fashion and décor. Searches for "jellyfish lamp" and "jellyfish hat" indicate that Gen Z and millennials will be driving this aquatic-inspired aesthetic.
Western Gothic Revival: Saddle Up for Style
The next stop was a room echoing with the spirit of vintage Americana chic under the banner of "Western Gothic." Forget the farmhouse vibe; in 2024, consumers will lean into deep, moody hues with searches trending for "western bedding ideas" and "country room ideas." Pinterest predicts a mix of dark, cowboy-inspired décor and fashions will reign supreme, marking a departure from the rustic aesthetics of previous years.
Grandpacore Unleashed: The "Eclectic Grandpa" Trend
In the heart of the pop-up, the "Eclectic Grandpa" trend unfolded, showcasing the continuation of "Grandpacore" into 2024. Searches for "grandpa style" and "retro streetwear" indicated a sustained interest in retro streetwear, chic cardigans, and customized clothing. The room featured a retro living setup, portraying the trend's essence with retro cardigans, bowling shirts, and Afghan treatments in muted, poppy colors like rust orange and mustard yellow.
Kitschens & Cafécore: A Feast for the Senses
Moving into the "Kitschen," Pinterest painted a picture of maximalist cooking spaces, bringing together the "Kitschens," "Cafécore," and "Tropic Like It’s Hot" trends. Gen X and Boomers are set to elevate their kitchen designs with thrifted finds and vibrant colors. From graphic neon designs to colorful fruit and fish-adorned drinkware, Pinterest predicts a vibrant and eclectic approach to kitchen aesthetics.
Blue Beauty & Bow Stacking: Adorn in Elegance
The journey continued into the "Blue Beauty" room, where MAC brought to life an electric blue beauty station. Pinterest anticipates a bold resurgence of aquamarine makeup, with searches for "blue glam makeup" and "pastel blue eyeshadow" leading the charge. The subsequent section highlighted accessories embodying the "Make it Big" and "Bow Stacking" trends. Oversized bows, bow necklaces, and heels with bows are set to make a statement, particularly among millennials and Gen Z.
Hot Metals & Beyond: The Silver Lining
The final room unveiled the "Hot Metals" trend against a backdrop of silver metallic walls, emphasizing cool silver tones and bold chrome. Driven by Gen Z and millennials, searches for "aluminum furniture" and "nail art metallic" hint at the enduring appeal of metallic aesthetics in 2024. While not showcased in the pop-up, additional trends like "Head to Glow," "Big Talk," and "Jazz Revival" promise a diverse and dynamic year ahead.
