Pinterest Specialist: Pinterest Trends 2021 to Connect With Shoppers
Filed in: Pinterest for Business Tips
Pinterest Specialist: Tips for Connecting With Pinterest Users Early In The Shopping Journey
Wouldn’t it be cool if you could get into the minds of your target audience to find out what they love? I mean c’mon. The more accurate we are in our product and service offerings that are audience wants, the more sales we’ll make. It’s common sense right? You will have more success in your business if you can hit that target accurately.
You see folks many businesses don’t realize that Pinterest is great for market intelligence. In fact Pinterest can predict future trends that people want to do, create, and buy. This information is important for Pinterest managers so you know the types of content to create so you get more eyeballs on Pinterest. This is an important element of proper Pinterest management.
We know that people come to Pinterest to literally plan their lives. Unlike other social media networks Pinterest is truly a positive place to be. It’s a place where people look forward to seeing the possibilities. That’s one of the reasons why people come to Pinterest compared to other social media networks. Pinterest managers leverage this fact.
Pinterest Specialist Tip: Pinterest Can Predict The Future
Because searching for ideas is the number one activity for users that means Pinterest knows what’s going to be a big hit in the future. According to Pinterest 8 out of 10 of their predictions in 2020 actually came true. That’s pretty good!
So how can you use this information as a Pinterest specialist to your advantage in 2021 for your business? What will you do with all this information? First, I’ll share key tips for Pinterest managers about trends for 2021 and then give you some ideas on how to take this information so you get more traffic, leads, and sales from Pinterest. You will need to brainstorm with your team!
TIP: As you go through all the different categories below ask yourself…
Which countries listed do you want to attract? You see Pinterest typically shows search results within the country you’ve chosen in your Pinterest profile settings. So if you want to get in front of that international audience the best way to do it is to target these countries when purchasing Pinterest ads. This is Pinterest management 101.
FASHION
When athleisure meets elegance—that’s athflow. Flowy pants, casual jumpsuits and oversized outfits will replace athletic clothes as the new go-to loungewear. Athflow is professional enough for the “office,” stretchy enough for the yoga mat and comfy enough for the couch. These are the highest search terms by users:
Home dress women: 2x increase in searches year over year. Trending in:
- US
- Indonesia
- UK
Oversized outfit: 3x increase in searches year over year. Trending in:
- France
- Germany
- Brazil
Soft outfit: 85% increase in searches year over year. Trending in:
- Brazil
- Italy
- France
Cotton jumpsuits for women: 160% increase in searches year over year. Trending in:
- Canada
- US
- UK
Co-ord outfits two pieces: 30% increase in searches year over year. Trending in:
- Canada
- US
- Australia
PINTEREST SPECIALIST ACTIONABLE TIP: Let’s say for example you sell women’s sneakers. Wouldn’t it be smart to have your models wear the trends listed above in your product pages? So in your next photo shoot think of how your products fit into some of these outfits. Show how your sneakers are the perfect compliment to these outfits. By combining the hottest trends listed above combined with your products you’ll be more relevant and in-sync with the audience on Pinterest. This is what a proper Pinterest manager does.
Cocooning is the new layering. Blankets as a fashion statement? Oh yes. Pinners will turn to shawls, puffers and slouchy socks in 2021—no matter the weather. Let’s make cozy comfort part of every season.
Quilted clothes: 4x increase in searches year over year. Trending in:
- Canada
- Australia
- US
Cozy aesthetic outfits: 2x increase in searches year over year. Trending in:
- Brazil
- Canada
- UK
Cocoon sweater: 155% increase in searches year over year. Trending in:
- Australia
- UK
- US
Fluffy slippers: 90% increase in searches year over year. Trending in:
- Brazil
- France
- US
Slouch socks: 55% increase in searches year over year. Trending in:
- UK
- US
- Canada
PINTEREST SPECIALIST ACTIONABLE TIP: Let’s say for example you’re in the business of selling books. Instead of being direct, meaning just showing a picture of your books think helpfulness. You do that by blogging. If you don’t blog maybe you can mention helpful tips in your newsletter. You can easily create a blog post or create an email newsletter on “How to Make Your Holiday Reading Extra Cozy”. Show an image of a person reading your book in fluffy slippers or any of the items above.
You see folks an excellent Pinterest manager is very strategic about the different ways you can have a meaningful connection with Pinterest users. They may not necessarily think about a book when they are on Pinterest but if they happen to be searching for fluffy slippers and you optimize that perfectly, now you have a chance of getting discovered. Seeing your book with those fluffy slippers may entice them to check out your book too.
Make it is the new work it. Make it your own. Gen Z will take personalization to the next level with DIY everything, from painted-on denim to custom crew neck sweatshirts.

BEAUTY
Skinimalism is the new glow up. It’s the end of the caked-on makeup look. Pinners will embrace slow beauty and let their natural skin texture shine through. This new “effortlessly chic” routine is simple and sustainable.
Glowing skin how to get naturally: 4x increase in searches year over year. Trending in:
- Canada
- Australia
- UK
Face yoga exercises: 4x increase in searches year over year. Trending in:
- Brazil
- France
- Italy
Homemade skin care: 110% increase in searches year over year. Trending in:
- Japan

- UK
Aloe vera face mask: 115% increase in searches year over year. Trending in:
- France
- UK
- Indonesia
Natural everyday makeup: 180% increase in searches year over year. Trending in:
- France
- UK
- Germany
PINTEREST MANAGER ACTIONABLE TIP: I have a client that sells natural skin care products but she doesn’t sell makeup. In order for her brand to connect with more Pinterest users I believe it would be smart to create a blog post on “natural everyday makeup” by showing how to apply it and then in that same blog post share tips on how to properly remove makeup or how to take care of your skin so you can achieve a natural everyday makeup. That is what an excellent Pinterest manager would do. And that’s what I call indirect selling versus just mentioning about how great your natural skin care products are.
Once again I want to weave in how my products fit into their lifestyle.
So far I gave you three examples of how you can use these future trends today so you get in front of people that have the same interests as you. Because truly that is what Pinterest is about. Don’t focus too much on how old your audience is. Yes of course there in many cases you need to think of that but when it comes to Pinterest it’s also about connecting with people who have common interests.
Cheeky is the new chic. Take it from Gen Z: indie isn’t what it used to be. Their version is defined by bold-colored crop tops, baggy jeans and emoji-inspired makeup and nails. When it comes to beauty, 2021 will be about feelin’ cute.
