Welcome back! In this post, I’m sharing the hottest trends – helping you know exactly what to post on Pinterest in January 2024. This post is going to be organized by niche so you can easily find the trends for you. Scroll through and find plenty of ideas to help your blog and content grow on Pinterest this January.
It’s been a while since I created one of these guides. In fact, it’s been so long since that Pinterest now has released Trends. Their way of telling you the exact content that you need to create to stay relevant and grow. Thanks Pinterest!
But that doesn’t mean you don’t still need help narrowing them down and picking the best ones. Because some trends fizzle and pop and others give us that slow burn that’s here to stay. Last year, I helped a client write one blog post per month based on a relevant Pinterest trend – and her Pinterest alone went from this 👇🏻
To this 👇🏻
Amazing right? That’s the power of Pinterest, and the power of taking these Pinterest trends and turning them into the content your audience is genuinely asking you for.
If you’re new here and wondering how to use this guide – it’s easy! Everything on this list is a trending keyword on Pinterest. Turn them around and create content! Maybe that means a dedicated blog post about the hottest nail trends for Valentine’s Day or simply recording a video talking about that topic that you’ll then share on Pinterest. Or if you’re the queen of content, do both!
Whatever you choose to do next, this guide will help you grow on Pinterest! Without further ado, here’s what to post on Pinterest in January 2024.

January Holidays on Pinterest
- 01 January | New Year’s Day
- 15 January | Martin Luther King Jr. Day
- 17 January | Kid Inventors’ Day
- 17 January | Ditch Your New Year’s Resolutions Day (there’s so much we can do with this one)
- 24 January | Compliment Day
- 26 January | Spouse’s Day
- 31 January | Backwards Day
There are a lot of ‘fun and slightly silly’ holidays to celebrate in January. I’ve picked just a couple because sometimes jumping on these silly holiday trends can be just what you need for a quick content idea. But remember, for big holidays coming up (like Valentine’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day) you should already be posting that content months in advance!
Now onto the niches for what to post on Pinterest in January 2024.
January 2024 Fashion Trends on Pinterest
We’re in the height of winter, which means keep sharing your winter looks and capsule wardrobes (they’re HOT on Pinterest right now). You can also start posting outfits related to Valentine’s or Galentine’s coming up – depending on your niche (but don’t be afraid to share outfits for both!)
Here’s what I found when looking at ‘women’s fashion’ on Pinterest for January:
- Coquette Aestethic / Coquette Outfit – watch this space because this trend is going to be huge this year
- Additionally: pink bow aesthetic, coquette bow, and pink bows (all as keywords)
- 2000s Fashion Inspiration – we saw this a lot last year with the rise of ‘Early 2000s Chick Flick and Rom Com Fashion’. In other words, think “Main Character Energy” from our favorite 2000s romcoms.
