Braids have long been a staple in high fashion. The go-to intricate styles are an expression of creativity and are the perfect way to pull hair away from the face. I miss being able to twist my hair into these complex styles since I chopped off my hair, but I hope to try out some braided crowns with my bangs. Braided crowns are one of the most sought out hairstyles on the runway this season. Styles in the past have been very loose and messy. The disarrayed braids were perfectly in tune with summer’s carefree style. But as the weather transitions, so has the appetite for braids. The shows this fall displayed tight, sophisticated braids. This new twist flows right into the chilly season, perfecting the glamorous look.
Fashion week for spring 2013 was filled with this popular style of braid. The loose, fishtail style has been seen on young fashionistas all over the country, as well as the models from popular designers like Tory Burch (shown below).
