Fall trends are here! TikTok fashion creators are putting forth their predictions for what everyone's going to have in their fall wardrobes in 2024, and one that everyone seems to agree on is that deep cherry red will become one of the most popular colors of the season. From bags to faux leather jackets and accessories, you can embrace the color in *so many* ways.

TikTok creator @iamsaraouardi notes that she loves the color "combined with either khaki or with gray," and you can even just wear it as a "pop of color."

Whether you're adding a belt to dress up a simple fit or want to do a full monochromatic look, pulling an outfit together featuring this hue will get you into the fall spirit while looking on trend. The hues vary slightly in deepness, though it's important to note that the shade is quite a bit moodier than the "cherry tomato" color pick from Pantone.

Here are a few pieces to add to your autumn wardrobe that I, a commerce editor and fashion lover, am loving right now.

These ballet flats-meet-Mary Janes are such a sleek way to embody this shade for fall. They are versatile and can be worn with just about any look. Not to mention, Margaux is known for its high-end leather craftsmanship and 5 millimeters of foam padding in the insole to keep your feet comfortable all day long. The buckle is adjustable and the leather upper has a soft canvas lining to keep your feet feeling good on all your fall strolls.

PureWow readers and editors are obsessed with the Maeve Colette pants and the fact that they come in this reddish-brown shade that, IMO, nails the cherry look, has us excited for cool fall days. The wide-leg pants are cropped and have contrast stitching to really make the jewel tone pop. The Anthro-specific fabric is a viscose, cotton and elastane (aka Spandex) blend, so you'll be delighted by the soft, breathable feel with a little bit of stretch. Plus, the front and back patch pockets are such a cute addition.

Faux leather is a fall staple annually, and this one takes the edge off with the cute, feminine puff sleeves. This sleek frock is a great option for a transitional piece going into the cooler months, since it's a mini and fully faux leather. Paired with a set of sneakers or booties, it would look fantastic for an early autumn look. I love the zipper neckline and collar, too.

This geometric shape is so chic for the minimalist dresser. The shoulder bag is made of vegan leather and has a polyester lining, which should provide plenty of durability. Reviewers note that it's not as structured as it looks in the pictures, but confirm that it stores plenty of essentials. "[It's] perfect for what I needed it for [and is] good quality. [It] held a ton for a shoulder baguette style bag [and] the shape looks nicer when full...overall, so chic," says one customer. It's got sleek, gold hardware and a slip pocket inside to hold up to the size of an iPhone 15 Pro Max. Throw on over your shoulder for a fall date night and you'll be set.

Belts are a popular accessory this season and this red one is great for anyone who wants to add a bit of color against a neutral look. Don't be fooled by the puncture holes, because this belt secures by the strap alone, so it's great for an accessory around your waist to knot, not buckle. I love this shade of red since it's more muted and not so bold for the looks where you don't want too much of a pop. It's available in four sizes, too.

You'll be wearing this sweater through fall and even winter because it's nice and toasty, thanks to the wool/cashmere blend. It has a ribbed crewneck and oversized silhouette for a cozy, layerable look. You can add a button-down shirt underneath, a jacket on top and still nail the trend by displaying the stunning color.
