When it comes to summertime beauty, surf-streaked blonde bombshells provide their fair share of inspiration—but it takes only one look at the Instagram feed of current Vogue cover girl Kendall Jenner to understand the charms of being brunette in the sunny season. Spotted frolicking in cerulean waters on horseback, catching rays in a pair of reflective Diff shades, or hanging with friends in Malibu, she infuses her shoulder-grazing chestnut lengths with the same irreverent American cool that’s made her an editorial superstar. And she’s not the only iconic brunette who makes the case for an endless summer.
Captured on the shores of Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, in 1964, Jackie Kennedy infused her trademark bouffant bob with the same refined New England elegance she gave to cropped white jeans and an easy tee. Bringing high glamour to the seaside, Audrey Hepburn’s gamine pixie—paired with cat-eye sunglasses and a bright red lip—added a lure of sophistication to holiday fishing endeavors, while Elizabeth Taylor’s windswept bob resonated with Hollywood sex appeal.
Jane Birkin and Anna Karina each embraced insouciant brown lengths and full bangs, paving the way for modern beach babes like Cindy Crawford, Lily Aldridge and Alexa Chung. But when it comes to boat-worthy hair, perhaps nobody does it like the Barbados-born Rihanna: Her darkened mane of waves provides a pleasingly stormy counterpoint to cerulean seas and bright skies.
Here are fourteen good reasons to consider diving into a deeper hair color this season.
