Here's How to Wear Fall's Biggest Colour Trend: Cherry Red
Move over, tomato girl summer.
Launchmetrics (Model)
A new season brings new fashion trends and this year, there’s a new pop of colour for your fall wardrobe. Cherry red is this Autumn’s “it” colour. This accent colour is the perfect addition to any neutral outfit, adding a layer of brightness to the darker-toned palettes of the season.
This statement colour took over New York Fashion Week Fall-Winter 2023/2024, with high-fashion brands including Tory Burch and Valentino incorporating this colour into different looks.
Off the runway, celebrities are also taking over the trend. Whether it’s Olivia Rodrigo in her red mini skirt strutting around London or Lily Rose-Depp in a pair of striking red calf-length boots, this colour is very in for the cooler weather. Even Sofia Richie, who has set every trend lately, is incorporating this trend into her looks with a richer red—styling an asymmetrical tank top with a cream coloured maxi skirt and matching red bag.
While the colour is bright, it’s still neutral enough to incorporate into a fall-toned outfit. Adding cherry red accessories is a perfect way to do it. A red accessory or clothing item can transform a neutral outfit.
Below, seven pieces for your cherry girl fall:
Heart Crossbody, Coach
This cherry red purse embodies this trend to the fullest. It’s the perfect accessory for a day when you don’t have to carry too much, but still want a unique addition to your outfit. Pair this bag with a black or white outfit to break up a monochromatic look with a dainty element. And don’t forget to fill it with your favourite cherry lip gloss.
Price: $360
Wyne Jacket, Danier
Jackets are essential for the fall weather, but they can easily play into this trend too. Instead of neutral outerwear, try out this bright red leather jacket. For an easy model of duty look pair this statement piece with baggy denim, a chunky boot or sleek sneaker and a neutral baby tee. If you want an even more laid back outfit, size up in the jacket for a slouchy look.
Price: $249.99 (was $457)
CHERISH RED PATENT Low Pump Heels Steve Madden
Ballet flats are back in full force this year and there’s no better way to incorporate this colour trend than with a cherry-red ballet flat. Style this shoe with an oversized light wash jean or simple slip skirt and tie it together with a sleek hairstyle like a slick back bun or ponytail. It’s the perfect shoe for a dinner with your girlfriends or date night, adding a unique touch to a minimalistic and effortless outfit.
Price: $100
Libby Sheer Lace Long Sleeve Top, Urban Outfitters
