Side Braids: The Simplest Spring Hair Trend



TREND: Side braids

WHO'S WEARING IT: Katie Cassidy, Rachel McAdams, Kate Bosworth

HOW TO WEAR IT: Side braids were all the rage at Fashion Week, from Alexander Wang in New York to DSquared in Milan and Miu Miu in Paris. For a dressier look, Gavert Atelier styling director Mika Fowler suggests creating texture on top like Rachel's—a side part gives more of a relaxed vibe.

Fowler recommends using hair wax for easy braiding, and then tying the loose braid together with a clear elastic. Next, slowly pull pieces of hair from the braid to create a messy, effortless look and make it stay with a strong hold finishing spray, like Sebastian's Re-shaper ($16.50).

Style Secret: Denim Trend! Celebrities Are Feeling Gray



TREND: Gray jeans

WHO'S WEARING IT: Paris Hilton, Victoria Beckham, Katie Holmes

HOW TO WEAR IT: The darker the gray, the more slimming the jean. Stay away from faded denim unless you have mile-long legs like Paris. If you go for an ombré effect like Posh, make sure the gradient goes from dark at the hips to light at the bottom.

Style Secret: Strap On These Kickin' Boots!



TREND: Wraparound-strap boots

WHO'S WEARING IT: Keep reading to find out!

HOW TO WEAR IT: The city-chic shoes are perfect for pounding the pavement in the winter months. Just remember to keep your billowy blouses in the closet—they'll only add unflattering volume to your look. Instead, balance the bulk of the extra straps with an outfit that will give you a slim silhouette. A high-heeled version of the footwear works best to ensure your gams look utterly fabulous.
