Cherries are the internet's most desirable fruit this summer
Cherries have been crowned the fruit of the summer. (Sorry you had to find out this way, other fruits.)
Cherry printed clothing, cherry-inspired accessories, and cherry red hues have been dominating the fashion world for months now.
Back in April, the Strategist called attention to the cherry's emerging popularity after cherry prints popped up in fashion designers' collections, and Selena Gomez and Margot Robbie were spotted in cherry print ensembles. In June, Harper's Bazaar dubbed cherries "fashion’s new favorite fruit."
Models like Kaia Gerber and Sara Sampaio have spent the summer rocking the bright and playful cherry look, rousing consumer's interest in cherry covered anything. If you take a quick look online numerous lists can be found directing shoppers to the very best cherry-inspired items available on the web.
Cherries, of course, have real 1950s vibes, but Cosmo also suggests they evoke the 1990s — without being costume-like or overtly retro. Simply put, cherries are a classic.
But they aren't just popping up in women's fashion, they're everywhere. They've become an exceedingly popular garnish, a desired additive in beauty products, and an attention grabbing prop for photos (both personal and professional).
There are currently over one million posts on Instagram with the hashtag cherry, and over four million with the hashtag cherries.
Oh, and there are even cherry slime videos to fulfill all of your ASMR needs.
The cherry is indeed the fruit of the summer.
Maybe next year a bosc pear or doughnut peach will reign supreme, but for now go scoop up all the cherries and cherry products you can find. Embrace the fruits of the season just as nature intended. Sort of.
