If you’re in the mood to embrace a fresh start in a new year, your fashion and beauty routine is a good place to start. 2025 is bringing many chic trends our way, according to Pinterest’s annual trend forecasts, and here are a few worth keeping an eye on, from cherry-coded outfits and makeup to the “castlecore” aesthetic.

Chic Fashion Aesthetics

“Seeing double” is one of Pinterest’s leading fashion trends of 2025, and it’s all about wearing chic coordinating fits to festivals, date nights, and beyond. Next year will also mark the rise of the fisherman aesthetic that’s all about putting a maritime twist on your outfits. Fans of edgy looks should consider embracing the “moto boho” trend by wearing moto boots, leather handbags, and flowy skirts.

Dreamy Beauty Trends

Pinterest is bringing many amazing beauty trends our way, and they’ll put a dreamy twist on your makeup routine. “Goddess complex” is all about embracing your divine drip through the power of makeup, while “aura beauty” will inspire you to match your makeup to your inner energy. “Sea witchery” is also going strong on Pinterest, and you’ll love it if you’re a fan of witchy, mermaid-inspired makeup.

Cross-Category

2025 is bringing many trends our way that fall under different categories, including fashion, beauty, and home décor. The rise of the cherry red shades is a case in point, and you can embrace it through both your clothes and makeup.

“Castlecore” is also one of Pinterest’s popular cross-category trends, and it’s all about wearing clothes and accessories with a medieval, gothic vibe. The “dolled up” trend also made the cut, with doll-like makeup, doll shoes, and necklace charms emerging as the trending terms under this category.

Wicked is one of the buzziest new films hitting the theatres this fall, and the team behind it is doing a great job promoting it. Fashion and beauty collaborations inspired by this musical are popping up everywhere, and here are five you should keep an eye on.

OPI

OPI launched a collection of nail polishes inspired by the most iconic Wicked characters, and they tapped the film’s leading lady Cynthia Erivo to announce its launch as their new brand ambassador.

R.E.M. Beauty

Ariana Grande’s brand R.E.M. Beauty has given us many amazing collections since its launch, but none of them compares with their dreamy new line of makeup products inspired by Elphaba and Glinda.

Beis

Another amazing collection that offers products in Elphaba and Glinda’s signature colors, Shay Mitchell’s luggage brand Beis prepared a wide range of travel essentials themed around these characters.

H&M

If you’re looking for an affordable line of Wicked products you can wear every day, head to your local H&M and look for hoodies, shirts, shoulder bags, and makeup brush kits with the film’s iconic logo.

Crocs

We’re yet to learn what Crocs’ Wicked collaboration is all about, but they teased it with a cryptic clip featuring the dark green and baby pink elements inspired by this film.

In the fast-paced world of fashion, the line between trendy and timeless can often blur. While trendy pieces add a touch of modernity and freshness to your wardrobe, sometimes what you need is timeless pieces to build the foundation for your wardrobe. Here’s a quick guide to help you on your next shopping trip.

Understand Trends

Trends come and go with the seasons, influenced by the fashion industry, celebrities, and social media. They’re often bold, experimental, and linked to current cultural or social movements. Pay attention to pieces that are being heavily promoted or displayed in store windows—these are probably trends. 

Recognize Timeless Pieces

Timeless fashion, on the other hand, is a style that remains relevant year after year. These pieces are classic, and versatile, and often come in neutral colors. They are less about making a bold statement and more about functionality and elegance. Also, look for high-quality fabrics here. 

Check the Versatility

One key aspect that differentiates timeless pieces from trendy ones is versatility. You can mix and match timeless pieces and they work for different kinds of occasions. Ask yourself if you can imagine yourself wearing the piece five years from now. This will be your key.

Mascara is a makeup holy grail product. In a matter of seconds, you can transform your look and beautify your lashes so that you feel ready to face the day. But do you ever have issues with removing mascara at the end of the day? Sometimes even the strongest makeup removers can leave panda eye patches. Even worse, the removal process can pull out delicate eyelashes, leading to pain and less luscious lashes. If this sounds familiar, you need to try tubing mascara.

Pain-Free Removal

Tubing mascara is formulated differently from standard mascaras. Whereas a standard mascara ‘paints’ your lashes with pigment, a tubing mascara actually encases each lash in a polymer-based tube. Although this might sound strange, the result is that when you come to remove your mascara, a simple splash of warm water is enough to leave your lashes free of makeup and residue. No pulling, tearing, and certainly no under-eye patches left over for the next morning.

Long Wear Luxury

Due to their formulation, tubing mascaras are less likely than standard mascaras to flake or run. They are incredibly long-lasting and are formulated to stay put through rain, wind, and tears until you decide to remove the mascara with some warm water.

Sensitive Eye Savior

As tubing mascara is easier to remove and less likely to flake or run, these mascaras are ideal for anyone with sensitive eyes. If you’ve found that standard mascaras leave you red-eyed and itchy, try a tubing mascara because it might make all the difference and allow you to wear your favorite makeup product again.

Technology is such a huge part of most people’s lives nowadays. Many of us are living in ways that mean we are dependent on technology for so many things, which can feel quite unnatural and unhealthy. There are many things that we unfortunately do need to rely on technology for, but this doesn’t mean we can’t be mindful of it. Taking a more mindful approach to our relationship with the gadgets in our lives and our use of these devices can help us feel less trapped by them. Here are some ideas for fostering a more mindful use of technology.

Set Time Limits

It can be easy to lose sight of the presence of technology in our lives and not notice how much it’s taken over. For example, many people reach for their phone first thing in the morning and use it just before bed as well. These habits are not great for our mental well-being and can greatly impact sleep. Introducing time limits to tech use can be helpful, so try to have a ban on using these items until a certain time in the morning, and after a certain time at night.

Ask Yourself if It’s Necessary Each Time

So often this reliance on technology has come about from habitual actions that we slip into without realizing. Next time you reach for your phone, laptop, or tablet, simply ask yourself whether it’s actually needed at that moment. For example, if you want to research something could you find a book instead? Or perhaps find fun activities to replace social media use.

If you have a habit of switching up your diet once summer arrives, it’s time to discover some delicious new food trends to put on your daily menu. Pinterest’s summer forecast introduced us to quite a few delicious food trends worth tasting this season, including these five.

Mango Bonanza

If mangos happen to be your favorite summer fruit, it’s time to put a twist on the way you eat them. You can try a wide variety of mango desserts, including mango floats, sago, chia seed pudding, jelly, and crape.

Avocados with a Twist

Avocados will be ripe for reinvention this season, so get ready to discover fun new ways to eat them, from avocado bread and fries to avocado shakes and ice cream.

Sourdough Experiments

Summer heat shouldn’t stop you from firing up the oven, since sourdough experiments are going stronger than ever, including sourdough bagels, tortillas, and croutons.

Themed Dinner Parties

If you’re in the mood to host a dinner party this summer, make sure to choose a theme. Fairy dinner parties are the most-searched term of Pinterest, along with Greek, Chinese, coastal, and vintage dinner parties.

Spill the Tea

Tea parties will also be having a moment this season despite the summer heat. Bridgerton-themed tea parties are all the rage on Pinterest, along with Persian tea, matcha milk tea, strawberry ice tea, coco milk tea, and lemon ice tea.

Summer is bringing many amazing fashion trends our way, and the butter yellow fever is one of the very best. After taking runways by storm, this trendy color is making its way to Hollywood, and these five stars have already given it their seal of approval.

Aubrey Plaza

The White Lotus actress embraced this color before it even started trending, with her meme-worthy Loewe dress from the Emmys, featuring a giant pin stuck through the neckline.

Joey King

Joey King brought the butter yellow trend to this year’s Cannes Film Festival when she hit the red carpet in this Miu Miu dress, which she paired with black gloves with rhinestones embellishments.

Rihanna

Rihanna has always had an eye for new trends, and she’s one of the first A-listers to wear butter yellow at a Fenty Beauty launch event.

Sabrina Carpenter

Mini dresses with heart-shaped cutouts hold a special place in Sabrina Carpenter’s heart, and she wore one in a playful shade of butter yellow at the Governor’s Ball.

As more people embrace healthier lifestyles and explore wellness options, a noticeable shift is occurring in social and drinking habits. The rise of non-alcoholic spirits is reshaping bar menus and personal gatherings alike, providing an inclusive and health-conscious alternative to traditional alcoholic beverages. Let’s delve into why non-alcoholic spirits are becoming a staple in contemporary socializing.

What’s Driving the Trend?

More and more people are choosing lifestyles that boost mental clarity and overall well-being. The “sober curious” movement is about reconsidering how alcohol fits into your life. And many are discovering that cutting back can seriously uplift their daily lives. Non-alcoholic spirits are perfect for this crowd. They deliver all the complex flavors you’d expect from a traditional spirit, minus the alcohol.

Where to Try Zero-Proof Spirits

Innovative spots like The Zero Co in Atlanta are popping up, dedicated entirely to non-alcoholic products from botanical spirits to dealcoholized wines. Bars and restaurants aren’t far behind. Many are spicing up their drink menus with mocktails that are just as fancy and well-crafted as their alcoholic counterparts. 

Why It’s Catching On

Opting for non-alcoholic drinks is becoming totally normal, shaking off old stigmas about not drinking in social settings. This trend is all about embracing mindful consumption, allowing everyone to enjoy a vibrant social life without needing a drop of alcohol.

If your current mission in life is to make your Instagram profile stand out and attract more followers, you’ve come to the right place. Whether your goal is personal or professional, these tips can help you curate a stunning feed, hashtag #goals.

Find Your Vibe

First, decide on an aesthetic that reflects your personality (or your brand’s personality). Be it minimalistic, colorful, or vintage, make sure you keep it consistent. Use similar filters, color palettes, and editing styles to create a cohesive look.

Plan Your Grid

Think of your Insta as a visual story and plan your posts in advance to ensure a harmonious layout. Apps like Planoly can show you how your photos will look together and allow you to arrange them in a way that flows naturally. 

Quality Over Quantity

Finally, focus on posting high-quality images that grab attention. You’ll need to invest in a good camera or smartphone to do this, but hey, a well-shot photo is significantly more likely to engage your audience.

And one last note: As you do all this, remember—your Instagram account is not you. Putting in time and effort to make your Insta shine is great (especially if you have a specific goal in mind), but it may take some time to show results. So, make sure that you don’t base your self-esteem on how successful it is.

Taking a more mindful approach to our relationship with the gadgets in our lives and our use of these devices can help us feel less trapped by them. Here are some ideas for fostering a more mindful use of technology.

Set Time Limits

It can be easy to lose sight of the presence of technology in our lives and not notice how much it’s taken over. For example, many people reach for their phone first thing in the morning and use it just before bed as well. These habits are not great for our mental well-being and can greatly impact sleep. Introducing time limits to tech use can be helpful, so try to have a ban on using these items until a certain time in the morning, and after a certain time at night.

Ask Yourself if It’s Necessary Each Time

So often this reliance on technology has come about from habitual actions that we slip into without realizing. Next time you reach for your phone, laptop, or tablet, simply ask yourself whether it’s actually needed at that moment. For example, if you want to research something could you find a book instead? Or perhaps find fun activities to replace social media use.

Mango Bonanza

If mangos happen to be your favorite summer fruit, it’s time to put a twist on the way you eat them. You can try a wide variety of mango desserts, including mango floats, sago, chia seed pudding, jelly, and crape.

Avocados with a Twist

Avocados will be ripe for reinvention this season, so get ready to discover fun new ways to eat them, from avocado bread and fries to avocado shakes and ice cream.

Sourdough Experiments

Summer heat shouldn’t stop you from firing up the oven, since sourdough experiments are going stronger than ever, including sourdough bagels, tortillas, and croutons.

Themed Dinner Parties

If you’re in the mood to host a dinner party this summer, make sure to choose a theme. Fairy dinner parties are the most-searched term of Pinterest, along with Greek, Chinese, coastal, and vintage dinner parties.

Rihanna has always had an eye for new trends, and she’s one of the first A-listers to wear butter yellow at a Fenty Beauty launch event.

As more people embrace healthier lifestyles and explore wellness options, a noticeable shift is occurring in social and drinking habits. The rise of non-alcoholic spirits is reshaping bar menus and personal gatherings alike, providing an inclusive and health-conscious alternative to traditional alcoholic beverages. Let’s delve into why non-alcoholic spirits are becoming a staple in contemporary socializing.

What’s Driving the Trend?

More and more people are choosing lifestyles that boost mental clarity and overall well-being. The “sober curious” movement is about reconsidering how alcohol fits into your life. And many are discovering that cutting back can seriously uplift their daily lives. Non-alcoholic spirits are perfect for this crowd. They deliver all the complex flavors you’d expect from a traditional spirit, minus the alcohol.

Where to Try Zero-Proof Spirits

Innovative spots like The Zero Co in Atlanta are popping up, dedicated entirely to non-alcoholic products from botanical spirits to dealcoholized wines. Bars and restaurants aren’t far behind. Many are spicing up their drink menus with mocktails that are just as fancy and well-crafted as their alcoholic counterparts. 

Why It’s Catching On

Opting for non-alcoholic drinks is becoming totally normal, shaking off old stigmas about not drinking in social settings. This trend is all about embracing mindful consumption, allowing everyone to enjoy a vibrant social life without needing a drop of alcohol.

If your current mission in life is to make your Instagram profile stand out and attract more followers, you’ve come to the right place. Whether your goal is personal or professional, these tips can help you curate a stunning feed, hashtag #goals.

Find Your Vibe

First, decide on an aesthetic that reflects your personality (or your brand’s personality). Be it minimalistic, colorful, or vintage, make sure you keep it consistent. Use similar filters, color palettes, and editing styles to create a cohesive look.

Plan Your Grid

Think of your Insta as a visual story and plan your posts in advance to ensure a harmonious layout. Apps like Planoly can show you how your photos will look together and allow you to arrange them in a way that flows naturally. 

Quality Over Quantity

Finally, focus on posting high-quality images that grab attention. You’ll need to invest in a good camera or smartphone to do this, but hey, a well-shot photo is significantly more likely to engage your audience.

And one last note: As you do all this, remember—your Instagram account is not you. Putting in time and effort to make your Insta shine is great (especially if you have a specific goal in mind), but it may take some time to show results. So, make sure that you don’t base your self-esteem on how successful it is.
