Imagine the most charming store, brimming with every type of creation you could think of—from handmade Christmas tree ornaments to custom-designed furniture—that’s what everybody loves about Etsy. For its first-ever Spring and Summer Trend Guide, the e-commerce site is sharing its forecasts for what will be at the top of its over 90 million shoppers' wish lists. Among the categories Etsy predicts you'll see everywhere in home design, fashion, and food are Western 2.0 (thank you, Beyonce!) and, with the Olympics heading to Paris, a big dose of sports-core.

“One of the most magical things about Etsy is the way our vibrant creator community shapes trends before they hit the mass market," said Dayna Isom Johnson, Etsy’s resident trend expert. «With the freedom to experiment, innovate, and adapt in real-time, our sellers craft and curate fresh designs to stay ahead of the cultural curve through their unique and often one-of-a-kind finds.” 

Four of the trends Etsy sees dominating its marketplace range from delicious to beautiful, comfy to familiar. Here's how to try them out yourself.

Food is love, and it evokes some of the most passionate and loyal fans in pop culture, whether it's a favorite restaurant or competition TV show.

As shoppers embrace food-themed clothes and home decor and discover new favorite recipes for family-style dinners and mocktails, there’s a resounding Yes, Chef!” echoing across the country. Examples of this skyrocketing trend include increased searches over last year for espresso martini candles (+1,454%), pasta prints (39%), and chef’s coats (257%).
