How to Match Your Hairstyle to Your Outfit

Styling your hair to match your outfit elevates the entire look. Here's how to match hairstyle to clothing style for a completely put-together appearance.

Casual Outfits

Match with relaxed hair: air-dried waves, a loose bun, a casual ponytail, or a half-up style. Overthought hair with casual clothes creates a jarring mismatch.

Smart Casual and Office

Sleek ponytail, a low bun, or a blowout. Polished without being formal. Shows intention without being stiff.

Evening and Formal

An updo, sleek straight hair, or defined waves. Statement earrings need hair to be up or behind the ear to show properly.

Bohemian and Casual Chic

The best excuse for beachy waves and loose braids. Boho outfits call for undone, textured hair.

Off-Shoulder Tops and Dresses

Hair up or to one side. Showing the shoulder and collarbone is the point — don't cover it with hair.

V-Neck and Deep Necklines

Hair up shows the neckline best. Hair down and to the front creates a frame that emphasizes the neckline differently.
