Plaits, wavy beach hair and even a bit of casual crimping, all add texture to summer hair styles this season. Emulate the fishtail plaits as seen at Giles for special occasions when you need to wow, or for everyday hair, loose plaits as seen at Etro and Preen add subtle interest and shape. All of these styles have a low maintenance vibe in common - so whichever style you choose make it look effortless - even if it really took you hours to create.
