Streetstyle: secure your lengths with a loose plait
Many women with straight, sleek hair can style their locks into a loose plait. This look is perfect for busy mornings when you still want to create a sophisticated end-result.
Her hair. A loosely braided plait. Our streetstyle pick today has versatile locks, meaning she can style her hair into almost any look she wants. Straight locks are suited to almost any style, meaning experimenting with different effects is no problem. Here, she’s created a centre parting and swept her lengths around to one side to create a loose braid with a few centimetres left loose at the ends. Don’t worry if a few strands escape from your braid, this will add to the overall casual feel’.
Her style. Just as relaxed as her hairstyle, our streetstyle wearer’s outfit is perfect for day or night. Her white ruffled shirt gives her look a unique touch which is offset with a statement jewelled necklace. The rest of her style is fairly casual; khaki jeans, black heeled boots and a black jacket slung around her shoulders. The final touch is added by a silver-accent belt.
Tip of the day. A relaxed hairstyle is sometimes the best option when wearing a more elegant outfit. Combining the two creates a beautiful contrast which works effortlessly. Simply look at our streetstyle pick today for some inspiration.
