Fresh Hairstyles for June 2025: Braids, Buns & Ponytails That Feel Like Summer

Summer 2025 is here and that means it’s time to shake up your hairstyle. But let’s be honest — who has the time (or heat tolerance) for a full glam session in June? We want styles that seem effortless, even if they aren’t. Chic but carefree. Trendy but totally wearable. So which new hairstyles for June 2025 manage to look both fashionable and appropriate?

Here, I’m sharing my favorite outfits for early summer which are easygoing, with soft materials, casual braids and a little polish. Each one was hand-picked (and tested, yes really) to give you that effortless but you tried energy. Ready?

Messy Beach Bun with Face-Framing Waves

There’s something irresistible about a messy low bun kissed by the sea breeze. Hot air styling turns blonde hair into tousled waves which are then collected into a soft knot at the back of the neck. Soft tendrils drape the face lightly and gently provide the right movement and touches of sunshine. What makes this one stand out is the intentional imperfection — it’s polished in its messiness, and that’s what makes it stunning. It’s that woman at the beach who didn’t care, but somehow looked amazing.

For upkeep, dry texture spray is your best friend. I like to start with Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray, as it adds volume without making the hair crunchy and keeps everything in place after a swim in the ocean. If you have fine hair like me and it tends to slip out by lunch, a couple of bobby pins hidden at the base of the bun can fix it.

When I’m headed to the beach, this is what I wear if we might stop for lunch on the way back. No matter what, it always makes me feel like I’ve just returned from a beach vacation, even if all my waves come from TikTok.

What I’d add? Maybe some subtle highlights around the face. You don’t need much highlighting with this style, especially if the rest of your hair is in a ponytail.

Boho Half-Up Knot with Waterfall Braid

This look is perfect for a summer day — half your hair up, a braided crown and a romantic rosette knot, finished with soft curls. It seems lighthearted and spontaneous, but it’s also planned, so I like it for brunches, baby showers or any time spent outside in June. The roots have a larger volume which gives your hair structure and the soft twist adds interesting texture and depth. The thin braid blends well with the waves, so her hair looks like it’s right out of an enchanted forest but not like part of a costume.

I make sure to use a lightweight mousse like Kenra Volume Mousse Extra 17 to help the style last in humidity before I style. I use a flat iron to make waves, as it looks more natural than using a curling wand. Don’t brush the braid too much, but use your fingers to loosen it.

I wore a similar outfit to a wedding last summer and three people I didn’t know stopped me to ask where I got it made. Spoiler: I did it myself. Taking your time and letting your fingers guide you makes braided styles like this very easy.

If I had to tweak it? You could add a gold clip or a few pearl pins to your bun. It’s lovely as it is, but adding the right accessory could make it seem like a modern fairytale.

Minimalist Bow Braid for Straight Hair Days

Sometimes, the weather just isn’t right for curls and waves. This easy-to-do braid paired with a soft black ribbon reminds me of 90s style, but it’s completely new for 2025. The hair is flat and even, with a polished center section and the braid added to the middle makes it look romantic. It’s minimalist, but with purpose.

I really like that it looks its best when you haven’t washed your hair for a day or two. I apply a bit of Color Wow Dream Coat to damp hair to stop it from frizzing and straighten only the areas that need it. The braid keeps everything neat, and the bow? That last touch — the one that makes it feel like it was planned all along.

My personal tip? Match your bow to your outfit. Black is always a good choice, but a softer lilac or a denim-blue can give your outfit a different feel.

I’d like to see more people pick up a bow and play with it. They’re such a quiet statement. Like saying, “I’m involved, but not too deeply.”

Romantic Side Bun with Braided Crown

I’m not exaggerating when I say it looks like a scene from a countryside romance novel. It’s giving barefoot in the grass, reading poetry energy. The braid is placed at the top of the head and tucked into a large side bun and the rest of the hair looks soft and natural as waves. It has a strong, simple feel, yet it’s also very beautiful and elegant.

I use a flexible hold mousse before blow-drying with a diffuser to maintain my hair’s volume without it looking stiff. I like to braid the hair while it’s still a little warm from the dryer, as this helps the styling stay natural. I twist the bun, not wrap it, to make sure it remains full and airy instead of being tight.

The truth? I put this on for a picnic and truly felt like a summer goddess. It fit my face well and didn’t move at all after I spent hours lying on a blanket.

Would I change anything? You could add a piece of gold-colored thread to the braid. Just something subtle to catch the light.

Classic French Braid with a Sun-Ready Finish

There’s just something about a classic French braid that will never go out of style. No matter the year, it’s practical, flattering and a great way to keep your hair off your face when it’s hot. But this isn’t a typical ponytail — the loose spot at the top and the smooth finish at the bottom make it a June 2025 version. It’s clean, it’s functional, and it somehow feels nostalgic and modern at the same time.

I get this shine by using a leave-in conditioner with UV protection such as the Sun Bum Revitalizing 3-in-1 spray. It keeps my hair moisturized after being in the sun and lowers the chances of damage when I braid it tightly.

I choose this look when I want to feel more polished on a run at the beach or when I’m riding my bike to get some gelato. It helps everything stay organized and I don’t have to worry about it for too long. Freedom, right?

To elevate it even further? You can finish your hair with a silk scrunchie or change the regular clear elastic for a metallic one. Details matter.

Soft Waves with a Blush Satin Bow

The look is all about softness — a ponytail that’s half up and secured with a pretty blush pink satin bow, plus loose waves. The style is about movement being simple and easy, giving a feminine and relaxed look. The pink ribbon makes it feel dainty, like something you’d throw on for Sunday coffee but end up getting compliments on all day. It’s giving cottagecore, but elevated for brunch downtown.

If you want your waves to stay put on a hot and humid day, apply a light hold wave spray and I suggest Bumble and Bumble’s Surf Spray Lite for this. My secret is to wrap the strands around a straightener instead of a curling iron, this gives them a more casual look.

I pick this one for days when I want to look nice, but not too fancy. The bow makes it easier for you — it’s lighthearted, refined and conveys you care without being too involved.

If you like, you can use a seasonal ribbon instead such as sage green for a nature look or navy for a bit of contrast.

Elegant Rolled Chignon for Golden Hour Events

I go for this chignon when I want to feel mature, secure and not worry about my hair frizzing. It’s an elegant updo where sections are twisted and brought into a low, smooth roll. It makes you look polished, even when you’re wearing something from the high street. Because it looks so nice, you could use it for golden hour meals, weddings or any time you want to keep the heat down.

The trick to that gleaming finish? I put some Moroccanoil Treatment Light on damp hair, then use a round brush to dry and smooth it. After styling, spraying a bit of Kenra Shine Spray will make your hair look extra glossy.

I wore it to an outdoor fundraiser and it looked just as good when I was eating dessert as it did when I had hors d’oeuvres. Zero flyaways. Zero regrets.

If I wanted to make one change, I’d gently pull a few strands from the hair around the ears. Just to soften the whole silhouette a bit more.

Undone Low Knot with Whispy Fringe

It’s quietly romantic how the low knot is done with a simple twist and strands that frame the face. This bun looks like a summer version of a messy bun, but it’s much more put together. The fringe pieces softly frame the cheekbones and the back knot appears as if it was made by accident. This is what I use when I’m not motivated but want to seem like I put in effort.

This style works best on hair that has been styled on the previous day or two. If your hair lacks body, spray dry shampoo at the roots and massage it in — I find that Batiste’s Original or Living Proof Advanced Clean work best. It adds a little extra texture that makes the knot stay in place.

This is the look that makes me think I’m strolling barefoot on a French balcony, even though I’m just running errands. It’s casual luxe at its best.

Pro tip? This outfit is completed with a simple gold hoop earring that looks really stylish.

Voluminous Ponytail with a Twisted Wrap

This ponytail isn’t playing around. A hair wrap at the end gives it a stylish touch and takes your pony from regular to polished. The height at the crown creates a little drama (the good kind), while the waves cascading down keep it playful and feminine. I’m really enjoying the mix of barbiecore and Bond girl elements in her looks.

If your hair is this thick, you have to tease at the crown. I use a small comb and a little bit of Redken Quick Tease 15 Finishing Spray. I then use a 1.25” curling wand in a relaxed way and brush everything out to make it look less perfect.

I’ve done this for date nights, concerts, even a hot rooftop workout class (yes, seriously). It looks great, grabs attention and makes me feel like I’m wearing something costly.

To top it off? A little spritz of shine serum on the lengths. It gives a fuller look and more lift and looks amazing as the sun sets.

Half-Up Bun with Loose, Wavy Texture

The half-up bun is like your top knot’s more stylish older sibling. It’s not too formal, but still has structure, with the top pulled back and the bottom flowing in natural, unstyled waves. The bun itself is soft and compact, creating balance. It’s a style that’s perfect for running errands, having dinner or spending lazy Sundays in a maxi dress and iced coffee.

I pick this style when I want to highlight my earrings or add a bit of shape without doing an updo. I don’t style the ends too much, just add a little sea salt spray like Not Your Mother’s Beach Babe to give them texture.

I brought this on my beach trip last June and it didn’t lose its shape after being in the salty wind and sun.

Honestly, it’s the definition of “effortless done right.” And the best part? Just changing your outfit can change your style from boho to minimalist to glam.

Twisted Crown with Cascading Curls

This style is perfect for June evenings when you’re at a garden party. The twisted crown detail moves from both sides and is held up by a loose, wavy half-up that falls down in a relaxed texture. I like that this style is soft and structured, with a Grecian goddess shape but a modern twist.

This style is easiest to achieve with a curling wand and a good volumizing mousse applied before you blow-dry your hair. My secret for a fuller look is using the Amika Plus Size Perfect Body Mousse. Don’t forget to spray some texturizing spray after styling — it helps your hair stay soft and in place.

Whenever I wear this, I feel like I should be drinking rosé under some string lights. It’s effortlessly feminine without being too sweet.

For an extra touch? Add a small dried flower crown to your outfit for any outdoor event, since June is here.

Glossy Blonde Low Ponytail with Face-Framing Layers

It emphasizes understated simplicity, by having your hair in a low pony and some gentle strands wisping down your front. The hair is divided right down the middle and the shine is what makes it look ready for a runway. The smooth transition from dark to light blonde in this look gives it warmth and depth, so I think it’s perfect for any polished day or photo opportunity in June 2025.

I use a smoothing serum and a round brush to blow-dry and my favorite for humidity control is the Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray. For maximum sleekness, press the top layer with a flat iron after you’re done.

It lets your earrings stand out, your makeup catch everyone’s eye and your outfit make a statement and yet your hair still gets all the attention. Win-win.

What would I add? A hair cuff at the bottom of your ponytail or a small gold pin could work.

Low Wrapped Bun with Soft Side Pieces

This style of low bun with pieces hanging down on the side is so classic that I believe it will endure every trend. The silky texture and slight movement around the face make it the most stylish hairstyle you can wear. It sits perfectly at the neckline and matches both dresses and linen suits wonderfully.

It gives the best results when your hair is already smooth and clean, so a blowout or ironing helps. I fold the ends under and secure them with a clear elastic, then pin the bun close to the head and flat. Finish off by spraying a shine mist like the IGK Good Behavior Spirulina Spray which won’t leave your hair looking greasy.

I felt like a character from a Nancy Meyers film while wearing this at a baby shower. Classic, feminine, and absolutely June-appropriate.

To switch it up? To make it look modern, either pull the bun to the side or attach a clip to it.

Slicked-Back High Pony with Mega Volume

This slicked-back high ponytail is the trend to try right now. The top is smooth and stylish and the length is big and curled beautifully. This style works best when you’re focused — it shapes your face, draws attention to your jawline and immediately lifts your hair. Perfect for when you want to channel your inner superstar (or just need to look fierce while sweating through the heat).

I get the smooth look by running Elnett Extra Strong Hold Hairspray and a boar bristle brush through my hair. If you want a big ponytail, heat rollers or a big curling iron will give you the bounce that makes you look ready for the red carpet.

I go for this style when I need to feel confident right away. It’s bold, pointed and honestly gives me the confidence to rule the world in heels.

Optional add-on? You can easily add drama with gold hoop earrings or a dramatic cat-eye liner.

Classic Sleek Ponytail with a Blonde Wrap

Last but not least, this sleek ponytail with a clean hair wrap at the base is the minimalist’s dream. It’s soft, even and well-shaped, a style that doesn’t need to be loud to stand out. With its buttery and bright shade, cool-toned blonde is great for showing off the sun’s light on a hot summer day.

I put on a smoothing balm like Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum and run a flat iron from the roots to the ends to get this look. The hair wrap is essential — it’s what makes a regular ponytail look glamorous.

I’ve had this on for enjoying drinks on a rooftop, meeting clients and going on dates. It always looks natural, but gives you a polished look.

To change the vibe? You can also use satin ribbon or velvet tie instead of a wrap.

Wavy Half-Up with Soft Knotted Detail

A little more than half your hair is swept to the top in soft twists to form a knot just above your head, while the lower half hangs loose with soft waves. The style is simple yet thought out, giving a nice balance between order and softness for any casual or summer event. There’s something incredibly romantic about it, like a hairstyle that’s just meant to be worn with lace.

You’ll only need a heat protectant and a wide-barrel curling wand to achieve this look. I used the T3 SinglePass Curl 1.5” and then combed my hair with my fingers to make it less tight. Before you twist, spritz a bit of hairspray onto the knot to make it hold better.

I reach for this when I want my hair down but don’t want it in my face. It’s that no-fuss elegance that doesn’t feel forced.

You could even tuck in a tiny pearl or pin at the twist if you’re headed somewhere dressier.

Twisted Waterfall Crown into Low Braid

This style is all about fantasy: two waterfall twists on each side meet in the middle and are finished with a low braid. It’s a combination of dreamy and precise — the sort of style that leaves people surprised and wanting to learn your secret. Even though the hair looks like something from a fairytale, the straight ends keep it modern.

To get this look, sectioning is key. I put tiny clear elastics in and start with hair that is dry and free of tangles, already smoothed with a flat iron. Add a pea-sized amount of the Olaplex No. 6 Bond Smoother to your hair to get a smooth, sleek braid.

This one reminds me of modern elves — I would love to wear it to a garden party or art market. It’s special, but not overdone.

If you’d like a whimsical look, try adding ribbon or twine to your wreath.

Half-Up Blonde Waves with a Velvet Black Bow

A black velvet bow nestled into soft blonde waves? Say less. This style combines a classic look with a modern twist and it’s definitely among my favorites this month. The slight lift at the top and the long, flowing ends give the style its classic look—it’s both chic and trendy.

Because velvet is heavy, I add a small clip to hold the bow in place before I attach it, so it doesn’t get droopy. The waves were created using a 1” wand and I made sure the ends were out for a more beachy look.

I went on a weekend café date wearing this and the compliments I received? Kinda ridiculous (in the best way).

If you want to remix this: use a deep red or ivory bow for weddings or late-summer events.

Halo Braid for Long, Straight Hair

This halo braid looks like it belongs in a Midsummer Night’s Dream. The plait is centered on the back, surrounding the crown and the head with a feeling of peace. When the rest of the hair is smooth and straight, the difference between the two looks is amazing — softness and precision blend beautifully.

I like to put a few drops of the CHI Silk Infusion in my hair before straightening it for the best results. I braid gently, making sure the tension is the same so the stitches don’t get too thick. Pin discreetly behind the ears for a seamless finish.

It’s a type of dress that makes you feel instantly elegant and ready to hold flowers or move gracefully to music.

It’s a good choice for any summer event, a wedding or a festival.

Half-Up Textured Bun on Medium-Length Waves

The half-up bun on waves in this picture is the look I think of when someone describes a “cool girl summer.” It’s flexible, well-used and matches every outfit and mood — a style that works for every occasion. There is a small loose bun at the top and volume on each side of the head. Waves give us the movement and the bun gives us the attitude.

The key here is texture spray. I spray the Ouai Texturizing Hair Spray on before curling and then I shake my hair with my fingers. I twist and pin the bun randomly, making sure it’s not too neat, because a messy bun is best.

I go for this look when I want to look good without having to think about it. You can use it for events, buying things or running errands — whatever you need.

A little trick: flip your head upside down and secure the bun for a higher crown.

Classic Dutch Braids with a Crisp Twist

The neatness and accuracy of Dutch braids are what make them so special — they are tight at the base, clean along the part and laid out to form a crown around the head. The style may remind us of childhood, but it doesn’t seem childish — it just feels new. Because the plaits are even and curve along the scalp, this style looks great for any June occasion, from brunch to the beach and back.

Neat braids result from caring for your scalp and the structure of your hair. I like to prep the hair with a smoothing leave-in (like the OUAI Leave-In Conditioner — lightweight but effective), then use a bit of shine serum on the fingers as I braid to tame any flyaways. If your hair is very fine, spray a light texturizing product on it before you braid, so your hair stays in place without getting stiff.

Honestly? This style gives me confidence. Even when I’m rushed or hot, the order of it all makes me feel focused. It makes me think of the way I styled my hair as a child, but now it’s with more care and style. I also reach for it when I’m headed to the gym and want to be stylish.

If you sleep in this style, you’ll wake up with perfect waves. It’s the ultimate two-in-one. That’s the real summer hack right there.

Long Twin Braids for Lazy Summer Days

This is a more relaxed version of the classic twin braid — perfect for farmer’s markets or cozy weekends in the cabin. Although the straight part is strong, the hair is thick and soft, as if the braids were just tied in a nice style casually. This is one of the latest hairstyles for June 2025 that works well with either a baseball cap or some hoop earrings.

I prefer to apply a mousse such as the Moroccanoil Volumizing Mousse, instead of a serum. This hairstyle needs body and no crunch and it gets that from the mousse. Let the ends look unfinished and unruly — that’s what gives it a cozy feel. A light mist of dry shampoo at the roots keeps it feeling fresh if you wear it multiple days in a row (which I definitely do).

I wore this outfit when I went on a road trip to Vermont in June and it survived the open windows, sun and lake water. Wrapping your hair up in this way makes you feel more stable when everything else is moving.

To elevate it just a touch? Add delicate ribbon ties at the ends. Minimal effort, maximum “that girl” energy.

Bohemian Braided Bun with Halo Vibes

There’s something undeniably romantic about this braided bun. The style begins with a Dutch braid from one temple to the other, then gathers into a low, neat bun, yet it still looks natural. It’s soft, touchable, a little mysterious. Just like a fairy who enjoys cold brew and brings a tote with sunscreen. I love this look for June 2025, especially if you’re going somewhere and want to look stylish, but not too dressed up.

When I want a hold that doesn’t feel like a helmet, I grab the Kenra Volume Spray 25. It gives any braid I do a nice, strong structure. It’s nice to mist the bun with shine spray after braiding — the difference in shine makes the braid really stand out.

This one shows off main character energy in the most appealing way. It’s not flashy, but it still makes people notice. I’ve used it at outdoor weddings, for evening dinners and even during a yoga class on a rooftop. You’ll definitely want to use this product in your summer hair routine.

Want to make it even more June-perfect? A few gold hair cuffs or some baby’s breath will add a touch of playfulness.

Soft Side Braid with Lived-In Texture

In 2025, we will finally be able to achieve that easygoing style that looks so good on others. The side braid begins with loose, thick hair at the top, much like you swept your hair over and just braided the section that fell loose. It’s a romantic color, but the darker base and slight contrast make it more realistic. It’s among the new hairstyles for June 2025 that are quiet and understated.

I think using R+Co Sand Castle would help bring out the natural wave in your hair before you braid it. This step helps you achieve the effortless, yet still purposeful, result. I pull gently on each section after braiding it — this helps the braid stay full without getting frizzy.

This style reminds me of the time between day and night and of wearing linen. There’s a gentle quality to it best suited for June twilight, when the light shines just right and everything seems golden.

Texture is being called the new luxury by some stylists and I can see why. This braid proves it.

Low Summer Ponytail with a Twist

I have to mention this ponytail — it’s a mix of modern romance, Pinterest-style and summer beauty. It’s styled on the sides and pulled back into a loose ponytail, but with a small twist inside for a more sophisticated look. Not quite a braid, not quite a regular pony. It’s simple to do but makes a statement — it’s one of the top hairstyles to try this June.

If your hair has caramel or brunette highlights, this hairstyle brings out all the colors. I applied the Amika Glass Action Universal Elixir to achieve a glassy effect that also keeps my hair looking natural. Heatless waves beforehand can add an extra flirt factor.

It’s perfect for a date, but you could also wear it for a casual dinner on the beach. I wore this to a rooftop movie night last June and got three compliments before I could even sit down.

If you want to romanticize your everyday errands? Start here.

High Sleek Ponytail with Modern Layers

This high ponytail is very main character-like — it’s smooth, sharp and lifted straight from the crown. It’s not too much like a cheer squad because the front and sides feature soft, feathered layers. It swings. It moves. It looks like a simple way to stand out — and I’m sure it will be on the list of best hairstyles for June 2025.

For this look, prep is everything. I use the Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray before flat ironing — it gives that humidity-blocking finish that lasts for days (not an ad, I just swear by it). A boar bristle brush allows you to brush your hair smoothly and without harsh lines. And the trick to a seamless ponytail wrap? Take a small part from underneath and secure it in place with a tiny bobby — no lumps, no stress.

A ponytail this sleek gives you an extra sense of confidence. Even if your iced latte spilled, you’re still on top of everything. I put this on for days when I need a little extra protection — or when I want my eyes to pop more than my eyeliner.

A final tip: keep ends trimmed and healthy. Long ponies don’t lie.

Curled Mid-Pony with Blonde Drama

This style is sunshine bottled into a ponytail. The hair is curled, has lots of body and is tied high enough to bounce and low enough to look elegant. The wide hair over the band is what makes the look special — it’s that tiny detail that makes everything better. You won’t find this pony at a casual lunch; it’s made for a special night or a fancy summer brunch. I think this is one of the softest fresh hairstyles for June 2025 that I’ve noticed.

Curl prep is crucial here. I use the 1.25-inch barrel from Hot Tools and roll each section with a Velcro roller while it’s still warm to keep the lift in place. The Living Proof Flex Hairspray is perfect for getting hold without stiffness. Use your fingers to gently brush your curls and keep the look soft and bouncy.

It’s as if you’re just before a big date — full of hope, dreamy and just a little more than usual, but in the best way. It’s a bold statement, but the coolness is still there.

Pair it with gold hoops and gloss, and you’re instantly put together.

Wet-Look Waves in a Low Loop

Minimalist. Sleek. Unexpectedly sultry. This style follows the wet-look look, but adds softer waves at the ends. The front is neatly smoothed back, with no part showing which makes it look trendy. If you’ve been searching for a hairstyle that looks like it belongs on a runway in June 2025 — you’ve come to the right place.

To achieve the wet-but-not-greasy effect, I use a mix of Oribe Gel Sérum and a smoothing oil (like Gisou’s Hair Oil) raked through damp strands. I then comb the hair back and twist it into a low tail. The softness at the bottom ensures it’s comfortable and not too fancy.

I felt like I couldn’t be stopped when I wore it to a rooftop event last summer. The wind didn’t bother it. The humidity didn’t touch it. It’s ideal when you want to appear neat but don’t want to use much heat or volume.

Want to make it last all day? A satin scarf left on your hair overnight will make it look stylish the next morning.

Loose Twist Ponytail with Soft Flow

This style is gentle, feminine, and slightly romantic. The hair is first twisted gently to one side, then pulled into a messy ponytail at the back. It combines simple style with a bit of work — great for when you want to look nice but not too dressed up in June. The reason it feels so modern is because of the movement — it’s exactly what’s popular for fresh hairstyles in June 2025 that avoid over-styling.

This one thrives on texture. A texturizing foam (like the one from Kristin Ess) gives the strands enough body to twist and pin easily without looking stiff. I tend to leave a few strands around my face out and curl them gently to make the look softer.

I put my hair up like this when I’m out running errands and grabbing coffee, but I still want to feel like I’m in a lifestyle video. It’s easy to wear, looks good on almost every face and isn’t complicated.

Bonus? It looks great for daytime tasks and can be easily dressed up for an evening meal.

Rope-Braided Bun with Sculpted Volume

Now this is a bun with character. It’s arranged in layers, thick and features two thick rope braids that are carefully twisted and held in place with pins to form a top knot. The end result is both strong and romantic and it looks like it wasn’t overdone. It is one of the most original fresh hairstyles for June 2025 and everyone should notice it.

You’ll get better results if your hair is slightly dirty — the grime helps keep the style in place. I apply the Bumble and Bumble Thickening Dryspun Texture Spray before braiding. I pin the braids as I twist them into the bun to ensure it stays lifted and doesn’t sag. A stronghold hairspray (hello, Sebastian Shaper Plus) locks it in.

This style gives me a sense of being lifted in both senses. I’d choose this for a summer party, a date at an art gallery or a business lunch if I wanted to make an impression. It’s classic meets cool in the most summer-perfect way.

For an extra twist (pun intended), try weaving a silk ribbon through the braids.
