Morphology

pinkoid + trend

The noun 'trend' is transparent, and the nonce adjective 'pinkoid' is clearly built from the frequent colour 'pink' plus the formative '-oid' meaning 'resembling' or 'like', so the phrase can be interpreted as a trend characterized by pink. However 'pinkoid' is nonstandard and the suffix '-oid' (or the exact sense 'pink-like') may not be familiar to an average B1 learner without exposure, so the meaning is inferable but not fully predictable.

Etymology

Pinkoid trend likely comes from the color pink plus a short ending that means 'like', giving the image of outfits and accessories that are mostly pink. That's why it means 'a fashion trend with a lot of pink'.
