The Cherry Girl Trend

Move over strawberry girl, there’s a new aesthetic in town, and she’s set to trend like nothing else has. Enter: the cherry girl aesthetic.  
For those of you who don’t know, the cherry girl look is a combination of both glam and fashion inspired by – you guessed it! –  the fruit. This look is set to highlight the shining, deep-red plumpness of freshly ripe cherries in a fruit bowl in the height of Summer. Think the return of cherry red hair, burgundy trench coats, maroon mini dresses, and even hair clips in the shape of this delectable fruit!

From cherry print bags, to cherry-embellished sunglasses, the cherry girl look will be exuberant and vibrant – taking over high-street-store-windows, runways, TikTok feeds, and magazine covers. It’s therefore best that you run not walk, to get ahead of the curve with this trend! 

Why then, is this particular trend set to take over from other fruit-based ones? Why is the cherry taking over from the strawberry and the long-gone avocado? (yes, it’s technically a fruit!) We can only suggest that the reason stems from what this fruit is and what it represents. Its deep, bold, fierce color, its sweet and rich flavor, and its subtle confidence that comes dripping through. Sounds a little odd, but this fruit really does convey power, confidence, and yet elegance too. The many colors and shades of this fruit can elevate any look. Whether you’re going for a matte cherry lip or a cherry-adorned baguette bag, it somehow gives a simultaneously sensual, yet playful and classy vibe.

Which other fruits can serve so many juxtaposing purposes all in one when it comes to style? So, if you take anything away from this, ensure it be the knowledge that this really is the trend to watch. Get that cherry jacket, that wine-red gown, those maroon kitten heels, but just make sure that whatever it is screams cherry! Because if you want to exude confidence and courage, the small but powerful cherry will help you.
