Streetstyle: side-swept locks for an evening occasion
The general rule for evening events is that, although your outfit may be fairly simple and pared-back, your hair should appear sophisticated and glamorous. There’s nothing better than a long gown or a chic, tailored suit combined with a wavy, side-swept hairdo that looks super-glossy.
Her hair. Side-swept hair styled into loose curls. Our streetstyle pick today has been blessed with natural waves. Whatever her hairstyle, she always looks on-trend. To create her look, she parted her hair to one side and swept the rest of hair over to the opposite side. Next, she used heated rollers to enhance the natural kink in her locks. To keep everything firmly in place, an even layer of hairspray does the trick. Want to get our streetstyle wearer’s uber-glossy waves? Shine Spray will instantly add a gorgeous lustre to any hair type.
Her look. A long, elegant evening dress is perfect for any special occasion. Although maxi dresses tend to be more casual, you can certainly make the most of existing dresses in your closet if you’re heading to a garden party. The tailored waist creates an hourglass figure whilst the dark navy color tones perfectly with her burgundy clutch bag and matching lipstick. Delicate silver jewellery decorates her fingers and adds personality.
Tip of the day. Keep your hair looking full and voluminous by using a heat-protective spray before styling. Apply a golf-ball sized amount of Design Mousse to the roots to amp up the volume and add some old-school glamour.
