Pinterest's Summer Trend Report 2026 shows sports aesthetics merging with streetstyle and community to form a broad lifestyle trend. The platform—with over 600 million monthly active users—records large search increases for sport-influenced fashion (oversized football jerseys, tennis-courtside looks), a denim revival led by long denim shorts (“jorts”), and a rise in hybrid sneaker silhouettes. Courtside/Coastal Prep is highlighted as a leading style, with major query spikes for striped polos and white blazers.

Ad Council PSA Reveals New Motherhood Struggles
The Ad Council has launched 'What's Her Secret?', a new suite of public service announcements aimed at encouraging new and expecting mothers to prioritize their mental health. The campaign, part of the broader 'Love, Your Mind' initiative, highlights the often-hidden struggles of early motherhood, such as sleep deprivation and emotional distress, and directs women to resources at LoveYourMind.com/moms. Created pro-bono by Mischief USA, the PSAs feature a group of women discussing motherhood while one mother's internal chaos is visualized. The campaign cites statistics showing that one in five mothers experiences postpartum depression or anxiety, yet three-quarters do not receive treatment. The PSAs will run nationwide in English and Spanish across broadcast TV, online video, out-of-home, radio, and digital platforms, with donated media support from partners including Amazon Ads, Fuse Media, iHeartMedia, Kargo, Pinterest, and Reddit.
