There are two types of people: those who loathe seasonal-inspired trends and those who love them. We fall somewhere in the middle and don’t mind a yummy seasonal trend to help guide newness in our home decor, outfits, and beauty choices (but we also fully believe in vibes and doing/wearing whatever feels right).
That said, we’ve been seeing black cherry everything popping up on our social media feeds and shelves, and we aren’t mad about it. The trend is exactly as it sounds: deep, rich, red hues with a hint of purpley black that looks good in just about every format. Most recently, Dua Lipa dyed her hair dark cherry, giving her dark brunette base a subtle, vampy hint of violet. Laura Geller also released new limited-edition “black cherry” lip colors that give a nice sultry wash of color that looks good alone or with a dark lip liner.
The black cherry hue has also been huge in the fashion world, with statement bags and staple pieces—all great for fall and winter—making their way into our carts. Beyond that, we’re seeing cherry as a star note in fragrance-focused items, like body butter and candles so you can lean into the tarty fruit in a sophisticated, moody way.
Ahead, find some of our ways to embody the black cherry vibe this winter, from lipstick to leather bags.
Our favorite ways to wear the black cherry trend this winter:
Apotheke Bitter Cherry Classic Candle — $46.00
This isn’t your typical desserty seasonal candle (think: pumpkin spice, hot cocoa, or salted caramel notes). Instead, it’s a sophisticated fruity floral that feels like a unique winter scent for your home. Black cherry is the star of the top notes, but you’ll get whiffs of tonka bean, vanilla, and patchouli as it burns. It’s the perfect way to channel vampy, wintery vibes but in a cool, moody way.
Laura Geller Jelly Balm Hydrating Lip Color in Very Black Cherry — $21.00
Black cherry lipstick isn’t limited to super opaque, matte liquid lipsticks. In fact, you can opt for a sheer, buildable wash of color with a balmy-tinted formula like this one, which has a jelly, cushiony texture, thanks to squalene and vitamin E. One swipe of this lipstick will reveal a rich violet shade that looks good alone or paired with a brown or purple lip liner. It’s pigmented enough to wear alone, but you can layer it on top of violet or red lipstick to enhance the color and add some shine.
