5 Hairstyles You'll Spot on the Fashion Set This Year

I typically have my eye turned to the fashion moments happening on the street style scene, but recently I’ve been paying just as much attention to the beauty looks as I have been to all of the cool outfits. Yep, the makeup endorsed by stylish insiders captures my attention instantly, but so do the hairstyles they’re wearing. Over the course of the past few months, the fashion set have been showcasing plenty of cool haircuts and styles that will no doubt stick around for the rest of 2020.

So which fashionable hairstyles are worth repeating? Ahead, I’m highlighting five that have the fashion-girl stamp of approval. From the short haircut that’s suddenly everywhere to popular styling ideas to zero-effort (but still chic) looks, these are the coolest ways to wear. Go on to see 21 inspiring looks to try out yourself.

Double-Band Braids

One of the biggest hairstyles of the year so far? Double-band braids positioned at the nape of the neck and secured with ponytail holders at the top and bottom. Plaits are back.

This hairstyle looks especially cool with statement earrings.

Consider this your new go-to daytime hairstyle.

The double-band braid is especially popular among minimalists.

Straight With a Middle Part

For an easy, everyday hairstyle, fashion insiders have been wearing their hair straight with a part down the middle. We're seeing everything from flat-iron straight to more of an air-dried straight finish with an undone texture.

Run a hair straightener through your ends for a sleek finish.

Sweep hair behind the ears to frame your face.
