If being alive teaches me anything, it’s that history always comes around. Sometimes to bite, but oftentimes to play. And right now, I think we’re living through our own version of the Roaring ‘20s. The world is feeling pretty Gatsby-esque, after all. Bobs might be back, but instead of cloche hats and flapper dresses, we’re going for a reference that feels a little less in the distant past—the ‘80s.
Indeed, one of Pinterest’s top predictions for 2026 was the rise of “Glamoratti.” The report cited trends like chunky belts, high-collar jackets and gold cuffs, all tied together by the 225 percent increase in search for ‘80s luxury. This was the age—the peak—of couturiers like Armani, Versace and Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel. And the biggest trend to emerge is undeniably the power suit, where there is only one rule: Bigger is better. Pinterest’s report explicitly writes, “Tailored suits with sculpted shoulders will grow three sizes.” It’s all about the shoulder pads, the huge lapels and exaggerated silhouettes.
