The Braid Brigade! 10 Pretty Plaits Good Enough for Sunday Brunch

With the siren call of back-to-school polish coming to a crescendo—all while the humidity index is soaring off the charts—the Instagram set is getting creative with braided styles that polish up a steamy head of waves.

Spotted fly-fishing in Wyoming, Karlie Kloss refashioned her slept-in layers into two schoolgirl plaits that left out a halo of face-framing wisps, while Josephine Skriver went boxing with a sleeker iteration of the style, and Alessandra Ambrosio tucked two wet seaside pigtails under a straw hat.

Over in Manhattan, Zoë Kravitz kept cool with her signature waist-skimming braids reworked into a half-up twist, just as Yara Shahidi showed off a set of cornrows fastened into a high ponytail that ended in woven rainbow extensions.

And lest you think that an above-the-shoulder chop means sitting out this trend, one look at Sarah Snyder’s two-toned style proves that nimble fingers and a bit of imagination are all you need to reimagine a bob.

Above, 10 summer braids good enough to take into fall.
