11. The Braided Crown
For a touch of romance this fall, the braided crown is simply divine. It adds such an elegant touch to even the most casual outfits. I love how it looks with a soft, oversized sweater. It’s also quite versatile and can work with various hair lengths, though it’s especially lovely on longer locks. To ensure your beautiful braid stays put all day, even with sweater scarves, I recommend using a strong-hold hairspray. You can also secure the braid itself with small, clear elastics for a hidden hold that won’t snag on your knits.
10. The Half-Up, Half-Down Twist
I find the half-up, half-down style to be the ultimate in casual yet put-together. It’s a great way to keep hair off your face while still showing off the length and texture of your hair. It’s like getting the best of both worlds. You can easily switch it up by adding a braid or a twist to the top section. For a secure hold that won’t slip, especially when you’re layering up, I like to use a chic clip or even a delicate hair tie. It adds a little extra something to the look.
9. The Classic Bubble Ponytail
The bubble ponytail has such a playful charm! It’s a fun update for fall and works beautifully with different sweater necklines. Whether you have a high-neck sweater or a scoop neck, this style adds a touch of whimsy. The key to a great bubble ponytail is creating even sections. I usually use hair ties that match my hair color for a seamless look. You can also gently pull on the sides of each “bubble” to make them a bit fuller and more relaxed. It’s a simple style that makes a big impact.
8. The Fishtail Braid
The fishtail braid has this intricate, almost bohemian look that feels so autumnal. It adds wonderful texture to your fall outfits. I think it looks especially beautiful on longer hair, where you can really see the pattern. It’s a great way to add visual interest against the backdrop of a cozy sweater. To get that softer, more lived-in effect that I love so much, gently pull apart the sections of the braid after you’ve finished it. It makes it look fuller and more relaxed, perfect for a crisp day.
7. The Messy Top Knot
For me, the messy top knot is the ultimate cozy and casual fall hairstyle. It’s incredibly easy to create, which is a huge win in my book. This style works with literally any sweater you own, from a delicate cashmere to a rugged wool. It’s just effortlessly chic. If you want to add a bit more volume or tame those little flyaways that seem to appear out of nowhere, a light mist of texturizing spray or a bit of dry shampoo at the roots can work wonders. It gives it that perfectly imperfect finish.
