"Cranberry Sauce Red" is The Yummiest Color Trend of the Season

Courtesy of LulusThe holiday season is upon us, but we’re not quite ready for everything to turn Santa-red just yet. For the Thanksgiving month, we’re reaching for a brighter, cheerier shade of red often served alongside dinner: cranberry. Move over, burgundy—fall's deep plum and wine red palette is now making way for winter's fresh-jam and mixed-berry hues. Cranberry red brings a punchier, fruiter take to winter's rich palette. It's jelly, jammy shade adds a festive pop to cozy layers and holiday-party looks. In other words, it's easy and trendy to wear it all month long. Cranberry sneakers for everyday: Skechers Midcity SneakerHoliday-ready dress: Lulus Labelle Wine Red Sweater Mini DressCozy berry base layer: Old Navy EveryWear Long-Sleeve T-ShirtCranberry red knows how to make an entrance, whether you’re dressing for a holiday party or just grabbing coffee. One statement piece can be just as striking as a head-to-toe look. The easiest way to try the color is with a single solid or statement piece. For casual days, a cranberry sweater paired with wide-leg jeans is a simple off-duty ensemble you can wear daily. Then, add a red shoe like a sneaker to keep it neutral for daytime, or a slingback heel to dress it up in an instant. The holiday party invites are rolling in. For that, reach for a velvet red frock: a mini dress is playful for dinner with friends, while a fur-trimmed mini dress is ready for date night. Slip on a polished zip-up jacket to keep warm. A velvet dress or satin corset makes the berry hue feel celebration-ready, while a cranberry top or shoe with jeans keeps it casual. Wear it head to toe if you’re feeling bold—keep the silhouette simple and let the color do the talking. Thanksgiving may be on the menu, but cranberry red deserves to be the main dish in your wardrobe this season. Shop our favorite styles ahead.
