5 Key Details that Make-up the Pinterest Girl

TikTok is a new addiction in the social media world, and Instagram is a mainstay for many. However, when it comes to Pinterest, although it is a little more niche, its lovers are die-hards. A platform designed to save images and create boards, it’s like an app for scrapbooking and has been around since the early 2010s. Despite its age, many still flock to the platform for inspiration–specifically women and young girls. 

Since the app folds in aesthetics and styles of so many niches, there’s a wide range of users. Yet, the ‘Pinterest-girl’ aesthetic is something that still populates for many. A Pinterest girl goes through life aesthetically. She cozies up with warm matcha in the Fall, wrapped in a cozy sweater, and reads a book. In the summer months, she might be seen on the beach frolicking in the waves and sipping lemonade. The need for an aesthetic image is what bonds Pinterest Girls of all styles. After spending hours scrolling on Pinterest, it becomes obvious that there are a few things that make up a Pinterest girl.  

1. The need for a cute drink 

From matcha to chai, or a ‘sleepy girl mocktail,’ a cute drink is in the hands of all Pinterest girls. 

2. Aesthetic and comfortable clothes

The Pinterest girl prizes cute and comfortable clothes above all else. This doesn’t mean just sweatpants and crop tops, the look of the Pinterest girl will vary based on aesthetics, but often colors and fun details are added in to give the looks personality. 

3. A book 

It doesn’t matter the genre, the Pinterest girl READS! 

4. Enjoying life 

What makes the photos so aesthetic? The peacefulness of them and the way the girls in the images are enjoying life. Take a note from your favorite pins and slow down. 

5. Self-care 

Whether it’s a face mask, taking a bath, or binging your favorite show in bed, taking time to yourself is very Pinterest-girl-coded.
