There's something different about this year's updos : they're super effortless and cool, textured with a vaguely romantic feel, giving us the perfect didn't-try-too-hard look for festivals as well as special occasions. Plus if you master them now, come autumn they'll work that indie-cool balance into your sharp, new season wardrobe.

For a modern take on the traditional beehive - as seen at Asprey and Bottega Veneta - make sure you tong hair into barrell curls before pinning it up. For cloud-esque beehives that are teased to perfection and still going strong - look to Sportmax for inspiration. Or if you want to adopt this trend without making too much of a statement, keep it sleek and loose a la Michael Kors , for the most wearable version of this hair style.
