Add a helping of cranberry to your holiday wardrobe
It goes by a bunch of names — cranberry, maroon, oxblood — but no matter what you call it, this shade of deep red is perfect for holiday festivity.
Shades of cranberry are omnipresent right now, and from outerwear to accessories to lipstick (try NYX Liquid Suede in Cherry Skies), it’s a flattering hue for all skin colors. Pairing one cranberry piece with a neutral base (cheetah print counts!) is festive and sophisticated. And if you spill a little cranberry sauce around the Thanksgiving table, maybe no one will notice.
The Garment District Boutique in Power & Light (1350 Main St.) is a one-stop shop for this color trend and is the source of these pieces (unless otherwise noted).
A roomy, vintage-inspired satchel purse (Moda Luxe, $71) is the perfect way to add a pop of cranberry to everyday errands.
Top your farmers market look with a knit beanie, like this maroon one (Love Your Melon, $45) from Evereve on the Plaza (225 W. 47th St.).
The faux-fur topper adds a level of interest to a simple olive green jacket and dark jeans combo.
Wear the off-the-shoulder bodysuit (Honey Punch, $54) with wide-legged jeans and platforms for a real ’70s look.
Pair the maroon joggers (Sis Sis, $54) with a black crop and heeled booties for girls’ night sushi and cocktails.
The simple cranberry knit shell (Olivaceous, $40) is a great layering piece for Thanksgiving Day — you know Grandma’s house always gets a little too warm!
Holiday date night? Wear this suede-feel sheath (Lumiere, $48) with lacing detail up the back. It would be just right with over-the-knee boots.
To take this trend fully head-to-toe, pick up these ankle-strap, low-heel pumps (Inez Stud shoe, $158) from Madewell on the Plaza (309 Nichols Road) in dark aubergine.
