Additionally, the report mentions a food trend called "Pantry Picnic," focusing on easily preparing outdoor meals using ingredients like canned fish.
Each trend is accompanied by an overview description, a list of related search terms, and data illustrating growth in search interest.
The expanded collaboration between Pinterest and Levi's also provided the denim brand with an opportunity to showcase its new collection in the "Off-Duty Summer Denim" feature, which highlights Levi's newly launched shorts and denim shorts (jorts).
