Streetstyle: create a chic look with a side-swept style
Looking for a simple hairstyle that will guarantee a chic, effortless finish? Look no further! A side-swept look is the ideal solution. This style is perfect for evening occasions or important meetings, both day and night. Copy our streetstyle pick today to get the look.
Her hair. She has styled her long locks into a side parting. Rather than pulling hair from either side to the front of her face, she has swept all of her hair over to one side. This instantly creates an illusion of volume, and adds an elegant touch to any outfit. To keep her style looking full and voluminous all day long, a fine layer of hairspray is all she needs.
Her look. Our streetstyle pick has gone for a chic, working-girl outfit with a modern edge. An asymmetric cream skirt coordinates beautifully with a crisp, slightly unbuttoned white shirt. This beige blazer tones with her leopard print boots and adds a pop of color. A black boho bag completes her look whilst a lick of red lipstick acts as the final touch.
Tip of the day: A side-swept style isn’t just for women with long hair. Shorter lengths can create the same look, but will need to use more product to keep their style in place. Make sure you carry a small-size gel in your handbag to keep each side in check.
