We sometimes think that just because something appears on the fashion runways that they are unattainable in real life. But this isn't necessarily true.

On the Fall Winter '21 Runways, models strutted their stuff with their hair slicked back, braided or in a sleek ponytail – looks that are completely doable in the comfort of your own home. Even better, these sleek looks look effortless (even if they aren't), and definitely give the appearance of stylish confidence (even if you don't feel it!). Check them out and see how best you can wear each style, whether it's out for lunch or just heading to the mall.

Slicked back

1/7

Turtleneck, jacket and jeans, Michael Michael Kors

Done right, this ‘do can elevate your look instantly and add a modern, sophisticated edge. If you like it super sleek, start by working with damp tresses.

Middle-part ponytail

2/7

Coat, Longchamp

It’s a classic for a reason. Achieve a smooth finish with pomade and hairspray to tame rogue flyaways and ensure that strands stay put.

Waved ponytail

3/7

Dress, Givenchy

If there’s one hairstyle that works perfectly with second-day hair, it’s this. Classy and elegant, it can be easily pulled together in minutes. For a more polished look, wrap a section of hair around your elastic band.

Top knot + baby braids

4/7

Turtleneck, inner vest, vest, and pants, Tory Burch

For two trends in one, wear your hair in an updo and leave the two front sections on each side loose. Finally, braid each section in a three-strand style.

Wet look

5/7

Sweater, Michael Michael Kors

This season’s take on the red carpet classic is neither fussy nor complicated. For best results, work with your hair and not against it. Scrunch your strands with texturising spray to create definition and boost volume.

Baby bangs

6/7

Bangs that go high above the eyebrows are great for opening up the face and accentuating the cheekbones. If you’re not ready to take the plunge, you can always fake it with faux bangs. Spritzing dry shampoo on mini bangs can help to reduce oiliness, and add body and texture.

Braid up

7/7

Jacket, Longchamp

To get this look, you’ll probably need hair extensions, but it’s worth the effort, we promise. If you really must fake the illusion of Rapunzel tresses without extensions, lightly backcomb your hair before you start plaiting for more volume.
