Is “Cherry Coded” the Next Big Fashion Trend? 

Fashion trends come and go, but every once in a while, a color emerges that takes the style world by storm. This season, that color is cherry red—a rich, vibrant shade of red that exudes confidence, sophistication, and a hint of playfulness. From deep cherry reds to brighter, candy-like hues, this trend is making waves in wardrobes everywhere. This post will highlight exactly how you can make this trend work for you.

Why Cherry Red?

Cherry red is a timeless, yet statement-making shade that strikes the perfect balance between classy and bold. It symbolizes power, passion, and elegance, making it an easy go-to for those who want to stand out. Whether on runways or in street-style, cherry red is proving to be the ultimate color for making an impact.

How to “Cherry Code” Your Wardrobe

–

Statement Pieces

One of the best ways to embrace the cherry trend is by opting for a statement piece in this bold hue. When I say statement piece, I mean cherry red coats, oversized blazers, or a sleek midi-dress; other trending items in this trending color. These items are going to serve as the focal point of your outfit and instantly elevate your look. In order to really let this color steal the shine and prevent overwhelming your outfit, pair with neutral tones such as beige, white, or black.

Monochrome Magic

One of the most elegant (in my opinion), and one of my favorite ways to sport this color is a monochromatic look. Go all-in with a matching set such as a red blazer with tailored trousers, or a chic red jumpsuit which exudes confidence and sophistication. To master monochromatism, play with your textures. Mix leather, satin, or wools. Mix varying shades of red/burgundy to add depth and visual interest.

Accessorize for a Subtle Touch

If wearing cherry red from head to toe feels too bold, start small with accessories. A cherry red handbag, heels, or statement earrings can add just the right amount of vibrancy to an otherwise neutral outfit. Another option would be to include a cherry red belt. This will cinch your waist while also adding a pop of color to any neutral outfit, but especially an all-black ensemble.

Cherry Red Prints/Patterns

If you’re a prints person, try incorporating cherry red in florals, plaid, or abstract patterns. A cherry-red printed blouse or skirt can make your outfit more dynamic while still following the trend. Just be sure to balance out bold prints with solid-colored pieces in order to keep the look polished.

Non-clothing Options

Fashion isn’t just about clothing. You can also incorporate cherry red into your beauty routine for a more subtle take on the trend. For example, glossy red nails or even a pop of red eyeshadow can tie your whole look together. Deep cherry matte lips for a more sophisticated and classic look, or glossy for fun and playful!
