Are You Team Curly or Team Straight? Street Style’s Great Hair Divide

If this summer was the season of air-
dried waves —the wash-and-go,
effortless style made famous by British
It girls Alexa Chung and Cara
Delevingne—this fall, hair is taking
shape in two distinct, divisive styles:
pin straight or buoyantly curly. The
clear divide, witnessed on the streets of
Milan this week during the Spring 2016
collections, seemed to be
overwhelmingly influenced by sartorial
choice. Those with natural coiling
textures are anchoring their looks in
bright, equally graphic wardrobes,
sporting bold skirts and colorful printed
tops. Meanwhile, the straight-haired set
is matching its smooth lengths with
streamlined, feminine pieces in timeless
palettes of blacks, whites, and tans.
Regardless of the weather or the natural
inclinations of your hair, the choice can
be yours with a hint of mousse or the
heat of a straightener. On which side
are you?
