Last year, cherry mocha became the most popular nail colour and went on to become an internet chartbuster. It's hardly shocking that this season, this deep burgundy/reddish hue, has again made a mark. For which, we have got to thank Fendi and Versace because they really made use of bold colours, including cherry mocha and similar shades like plum, for their Fall/Winter'24 collection.

This makes perfect sense, since nobody—at least not me—would want this tempting shade to be overlooked in the list of trends. It started with nails and now it is saving its spot in everyone's closet, footwear rack, jewellery drawer, and even makeup organisers. I have full faith in the fact that as this colour is back with a bang, it is not going to go away so soon and will continue to be pasted all over through the fall and winter of '24. 

What Is Cherry Mocha Trend?

Cherry mocha, like most other hip trends, first became popular on TikTok, with even DND and Chanel jumping on board. Well, they introduced this shade sometime before it got viral, but even they can accept the sales must have skyrocketed after we fashion peeps started truly loving it.

It was autumn 2023 and deep, dark cherry nails started popping on everyone's feeds all of a sudden and in no time, the colour became a worldwide sensation. Why shouldn't it be anyway? It's edgy. It's bold. And yet, a side of it will make sure you look expensive and classy. The colour passes the old-money vibe check in the most luscious way possible. And now, my manifestations have come true because it is back! And there is no way I, or anyone for that matter (think designers and IGs fashion set), are able to resist bringing this nail trend to other sides of fashion and beauty. So, here I am, doing the right thing by bringing this colour into the spotlight.

Cherry mocha colour and date nights go together like clockwork. Yes, I'm a true fan of LBDs but take a look at this one from from Old Marigold. I'm not mentally strong enough to pass up on something as pretty as that. The colour just hits the right note and it is made of cotton so you can keep your comfort woes at bay and smoothly transition it from PM to AM as well. The best part is, cherry mocha fits well into many different silhouettes, so literally any dress you choose in this hue would scream WOW. Pair them with elegant jewellery and pointed-toe heels and you're all set to dazzle!

Are we still living in a world where girls would choose to wear a cool jumpsuit even if it means having to unzip the entire thing to use the restroom? Um, yes! I will never skip the opportunity to get my hands on a comfortable and stylish jumpsuit, especially when it comes in a cherry mocha. My heart is set on the one from Cider as it is ruched in all the right places. I mean, some pleats in and around the midriff can help cover bloating so well too! Pair this or any other such jumpsuit with an eye-catching neckpiece and a cute bag, and you're good to go.

If you spend a lifetime deciding which tops go well with which bottoms, co-ord sets must be a blessing to you. Since cherry mocha is not a "in-your-face" colour, a co-ord can be a good way to carry it. Because why look like a bright red flag when you can be a deep reddish baddie? I love, love this co-ord from RSVP by Nykaa Fashion. It's a regular, comfy fit that knows how to party or will at least get you in the mood to. You can also check out its casual alternative and three-piece sets. Elevate the look by putting them together with tiny pearl studs!

Since I already talked about the casual side of cherry mocha, I don't want to miss out on the fact that it can look just as pretty when you want to go semi-desi or even full-blown desi. For instance, this tube dress by Ritu Kumar has a traditional print with a modern cut, which makes it so very boho. Also, don't forget to explore statement gowns and sarees while you're at it. Everything is so red-carpet(y), you'd want to get 'em all!

Tops in cherry mocha are not just any tops; the colour adds a statement, adding edge and character to them. Take this one from FableStreet as an example. The cut is basic, and the polyester used will keep you comfy, but the colour is what really stands out. You can pair it up with a trouser and dainty earrings for a desk-to-dinner look. The tops mentioned are mostly on sale, so perhaps it's a sign to get one or all three? Because I am.

While I'm still wary of cherry mocha flared skirts, a fitted pencil, A-line, or mermaid-cut skirt is something I can definitely vouch for. It all boils down to making this trend look even more expensive, and what better way to do so than with silhouettes that perfectly hug your curves? What we love about these skirts is that they are quite adaptive, you can wear them to work, parties, and even dinner dates.

When it usually comes to footwear, we often go for the basic blacks, whites, and neutrals because our subconscious says "If you get those boots in other colours, you won't be wearing them much." Well, cherry mocha footwear might alter that brain chemistry. It's a fun, versatile colour that would definitely be your go-to for any and every occasion. I feel this colour should really be non-negotiable because it's going to be all your wants and needs.

Burgundy bags are a huge 2024 hit. The year, in fact, started with a newly found craze of such bags and I keep thanking my stars for that. It's a proper indication that cherry mocha is going to be just as loved. Both are deeper shades of red, and yes this hue deserves a spot in your bag cabinet or wherever you put/hang your bags. They complement darker colours and are a good, rich contrast to neutrals. They were also spotted on the runway at Chloé and Bottega Veneta, so what more reasons are you looking for?

Cue the drum roll, because the color of the moment has also found its way into makeup kits. When you want to look like you put effort into your makeup but don't want to spend more than 5 minutes, just apply a cherry mocha lipstick and the pop will make you look like a diva. It is such a confident shade that it will undoubtedly bring poise and personality to your appearance. If you want to take another route, show it off on your eyes or even a little on your cheeks. 

LBB Tip: Apply cherry mocha shade on your lid and blend it with a little brown around the crease. What you'll see is a glam effect, promise!

Well, do I even need to say anything about it? This is where the cherry mocha trend was born. If you don't like to paint your nails, I beg you to give this one a try because you, sister, will not regret it. It's going to make your hands look like they're coming right out of a castle (rich, really). You can keep it matt or shiny, the colour fits well in both extremes. Want to ditch the hard work? Stick-on nails are the way to go.
