Pinterest is a social media platform used in order to share trendy photos having to do with fashion, makeup, cooking and much more. The more each photo on pinterest is saved, the more likely it will show up on others “for you” pages. As trends begin to shift, so do the photos widely seen and reposted to pinterest boards on the app. Many use the app to find inspiration in what they could buy or create. However as time goes on, the inspiration people are looking for often changes. No matter what style one prefers, it is guaranteed to find photos that fit the image they are searching for. 

With the spread of covid-19, trends on pinterest have been affected due to social media usage increasing (Forbes). As more and more people are using these social media platforms the more they will be influenced by the images they see. Because of the fact that more people are spending time indoors, searches on pinterest are having to do what people can do in the comfort of their own home. Whether it be workout they can try at home, easy crafts that can be done from materials at home, or easy recipes, all “at home” activities were searched during the time of the pandemic. In terms of fashion, PinterestBusiness predicts that in terms of fashion, more of an athletic image will be trending in 2021. Photography in 2021 conveyed through Pinterest may contain LED lights or artsy lighting that affects coloring in photography (Pinterest Newsroom).  Other upcoming trends include, embroidery for hobbies, fancy boards for eating food, and beauty inspiration having to do skin(PinterestBusiness).

Through social media platforms such as pinterest, people are able to share what they love through the image they create and display to the world. As current events are always changing, so is the opinion of others which is clearly established through what is viewed on the social media.
