To help get us all started on our journeys to breezy, effortless profiles, we're predicting the summer trends that will dominate Instagram in 2021. Let's hope we can get to them before the masses.

Shell-inspired decor has been on the rise for the past few months — especially in bright and pastel hues — but we're especially partial to the vase variety.
