6. The Voluminous Blowout
A good blowout can really add polish to your fall looks. The volume it creates is fantastic, especially when paired with cozy sweaters that can sometimes make your silhouette feel a bit softer. It suits so many different hair types and really makes your hair look healthy and shiny. To maintain that gorgeous volume throughout the day, especially when you’re moving between indoors and outdoors, I find that a good root-lifting spray is essential. Just a little spritz before you dry your hair makes all the difference.
5. The Dutch Braid
The Dutch braid is like an inside-out French braid, and it creates a really pronounced, beautiful braid that stands out against knitwear. It’s so versatile; you can wear it as a single braid down your back or as two braids framing your face. It adds a lovely texture and detail to your fall ensemble. To keep your Dutch braid looking neat and tight, especially if you’re prone to your braids loosening up, try to keep the tension consistent as you weave. It takes a little practice, but the result is worth it.
4. The Side Braid
There’s a simple elegance to a side braid that’s just perfect for fall. It beautifully frames your face and adds a lovely touch of softness. This style is compatible with pretty much any sweater style you can think of, and it’s super easy to adjust the placement. For the best effect, try braiding it so it falls over one shoulder, perhaps slightly to the front. This way, it’s visible even when you have a scarf on or are wearing a sweater with a higher neckline. It’s a subtle detail that makes a big difference.
3. The Slicked-Back Look
A slicked-back style offers such a chic contrast to the soft, often fuzzy textures of fall fabrics. It has a modern appeal that I really love. This look works for both casual outings and dressier occasions. You can achieve it with gel, pomade, or even a bit of hairspray. For a smooth, polished finish without any flyaways, I like to use a fine-tooth comb to really get everything in place. It’s a minimalist style that makes a strong statement against the backdrop of cozy autumnal fashion.
2. The Low Ponytail with a Scarf
Adding a scarf to a low ponytail is such a simple way to elevate your fall look. It’s a combination that feels both cozy and incredibly stylish. You can choose a silk scarf for a touch of luxury or a wool blend for extra warmth. When tying the scarf, I like to loop it through the base of the ponytail and then tie a neat bow. This way, it stays secure and adds a beautiful pop of color or pattern. It’s a small detail that makes your entire outfit feel more intentional and festive.
