Preppy, grunge, and slow life - Pinterest reveals the hottest trends for fall 2025

Pinterest just unveiled a sneak peek of what our fall will look like. The Fall 2025 Trends Report shows that the season will be dominated by nostalgia, polka dots, the scent of vanilla, and the color of espresso.

Pinterest just released its Fall 2025 Trends Report , which has been considered one of the most important barometers in the world of fashion, beauty, and lifestyle for several years. Analyzing billions of searches from January to August 2025, the platform captured what will rule this fall —from wardrobe to travel to cuisine.

Let's talk fashion. This fall, layers , vintage , and details are all the rage. Popular in the 2000s, preppy style is experiencing a resurgence. Searches for terms like " classic prep " are up 47,680%, and " 2000s preppy aesthetic " are up nearly 3,000%. Patchwork is also trending. Pinterest saw a 4,443% increase for " patchwork tee shirt ."

The iconic polka dots are also doing quite well. " Polka dots aesthetic" recorded a 1,512% increase.

The whole is complemented by colors inspired by our beloved coffee - from shades of latte to deep espresso .

And when it comes to accessories, Gen Z favors vintage watches : from analog to luxury models from years past.

Fall 2025 in beauty is a marriage of nostalgia and modernity. Grunge makeup from the '90s and 2000s is back in a refreshed version. What exactly does that mean? Searches for " clean grunge makeup " are up 652%, and " 2000s grunge makeup " are up nearly 200%. So we can expect the return of smoky eyes , eyeliner, and brown eyeshadow.

Plus, the return of iconic pixie cuts - short hairstyles that are a manifestation of courage and character.

Autumn will also bring a resurgence of nostalgic and enveloping scents : vanilla, caramel, apple, and almond – searches are up by several dozen percent. I think we've all missed that autumn blanket, fireplace, and pumpkin spice latte.

Minimalism in shades of beige is officially becoming a thing of the past. Fall 2025 is the time for interiors with character , filled with details and vintage furniture. Searches for " vintage tiles " have increased by over 1,100%, and " art deco vintage " by 805%.

Pinterest clearly shows that personality is what counts in interior design these days – mismatched ceramics, velvet sofas, and accessories straight from antique shops create interiors that are alive and tell a story.

Autumn trips in 2025 are all about slow travel . Switzerland tops the bucket list, followed closely by the Scottish Highlands , German towns, and English cottages. Pinterest users are seeking an escape from big cities and a taste of nature and nostalgia.

In the kitchen, we'll be "sweet" to excess, literally and figuratively. " Sweet focaccia ," a type of focaccia decorated with floral motifs, has achieved star status, combining the rusticity of bread with the whimsy of confectionery. At the same time, there's a craze for mini pastries: small cakes, cupcakes, and desserts that are as beautiful as they are delicious.
