There are two kinds of people: disgust seasonal trends and those like them. We’re somewhere in the middle and don’t mind a delicious seasonal trend to help guide the novelty of our home decor, clothing, and beauty choices (but we’re also all about vibes and doing/wearing whatever feels right).
That said, we see black cherries all the time everything We’re not mad about it appearing on our social media and on our bookshelves. This trend is exactly what it sounds like: a deep, rich red hue with a hint of purple-black that looks good in almost any color. every Format. Dua Lipa recently dyed her hair a deep cherry color, giving her dark brunette undertones a subtle, vampire-like violet hue. Laura Geller also released a new limited edition “Black Cherry” lip color, which presents a charming and sexy color that looks great on its own or paired with a dark lip liner.
Black cherry is also popular in the fashion world, with statement bags and staple pieces – all pieces perfect for fall and winter – finding their way into our shopping carts. Beyond that, we see cherry as a star note in fragrance-focused products like body butters and candles, so YoYou can taste the sour fruit in a sophisticated, moody way.

Our favorite ways to wear maraschino this winter:
Apotheke Chokecherry Classic Candle — $46.00
This isn’t your typical dessert seasonal candle (think: pumpkin spice, hot cocoa, or salted caramel notes). Instead, it’s a delicate, fruity floral scent that feels like a unique winter scent for your home. Black cherry is the star of the top notes, but as it burns you get tonka beans, vanilla and patchouli. It’s the perfect way to convey a vampire, wintery vibe, but in a cool, moody way.
Laura Geller Jelly Balm Hydrating Lip Gloss in Deep Cherry — $21.00 USD
Black Cherry Lipstick isn’t just limited to ultra-opaque, matte liquid lipsticks. In fact, you can opt for a sheer, buildable color in a mildly-toned formula like this one, which has a jelly-soft texture thanks to the addition of squalene and vitamin E. It has a rich violet hue. It’s pigmented enough to wear on its own, but you can layer it over a violet or red lipstick to enhance the color and add some shine.
Philosophy Radiant Grace Moisturizer — $41.00
Philosophy launches an ultra-hydrating body formula (enriched with shea butter, niacinamide, and olive oil extract) that’s perfect if your skin gets super dry during fall and winter. What’s more, the decadent scent is crafted with black cherry, jasmine and caramel sandalwood. It’s fruity, floral, frankincense and a great base for your favorite fall fragrance.
Essie Nail Polish in Wicked — $6.00
Not gonna lie – I get out my (nearly dry bottle of) Essie’s Wicked every fall. It’s a predominantly vampire color that screams cozy, spooky seasonal. It’s a deep cherry red with a slight slant to the black side depending on the light.
IGK Williams-Burgundy Color Depositing Hair Mask — $27.00
If you want to try a cherry red color on your hair (lá Dua Lipa) but don’t want a longer-lasting salon look, a color-depositing hair mask is a great option. You can comb it through clean, damp hair and leave it on for five minutes for sheer color. For a more intense cherry color, comb through wet hair and leave on for 15 minutes. You can expect a more vivid effect on blonde hair, but you can still get a cool cherry cola color on brunette hair.
J. Crew Edie Coco Berry Bucket Bag — $268.00
If you’re like me and have tons of black purses and want to replace it, a black cherry leather bag (like this one) is a great fall investment accessory. It has a stylish bucket silhouette but is large enough to hold all your essentials: laptop, phone, keys, Toilet bagETC.
