These sneakers will pull together any look from skirts, dresses, to good old plain jeans.

5) Oversized T-Shirts

Hairstyles and Accessories for Short and Long Hair

By Kostela Lila

Half Bun Half Down

Start with a tight ponytail with half of your hair up and hair down.
Then gently tug on the hair on top of your head to make it look more voluminous.
After, tease hair at the base of the elastic (to give your bun a fuller look) and twist it around the base.
Secure with bobby pins and adjust it to the shape you want.

Half up Half Down Ponytail

Long Hair

First, pull your hair up to a half ponytail. (Leave your bangs down if you want.)
After, brush out underneath the half ponytail. Separate the top and bottom equally.
Finally, tie the top up with a hair tie.

Low Ponytail

First, take your first two pieces of hair and leave them out.
Take a hair tie and tie the rest of your hair.
Add a hair clip above the hair tie for more style.

Space Buns with Braids (you will need help to create this style)

Start by splitting your hair in half equally.
Then make two french braids stop half way in the herd and twist the remaining hair into a bun.
Lastly add hair clips to the bun.
For short hair: (Follow the same steps as above but don’t make french braids)

Half down hair with braids and buns

First, make small braids on the top of your head. If you would like, leave the front two pieces of hair out.
Tie the hair a little above the midway of your head, and then continue making a braid until the end of your hair.
Tie it and then go around the top of your head.
Add some hair clips to the buns.

Accessories

Tie your look together with these finishing pieces.

Hair Scarves

Some days your hair feels gorgeous, other days, not so much, and you just can’t be bothered to deal with it. Whether you’re trying to hide a bad hair day, hoping to protect your strands from wind or rain or you’re just bored and looking to try a new ’do, a headscarf can help.

Decorated Bobby Pins

Bobby pins have never been more fascinating. The trick to pulling off this style is to wear a lot of pearls, rhinestones, and other colorful shapes. You can’t go wrong with some free-form bobby pins, and they’ll keep any flyaways in control!

Hair Scrunchies

Scrunchies have arrived, and they’re bigger than ever. You’ve probably seen the plush, oversize satin and organza ones recently, and they’re set to be huge this spring and summer. Decorate your ponytail with it for a flash of color, or wrap it around your wrist to complement stacked rings.

Large Hair Claw Clips

Claw clips are everywhere these days. They add a certain effortlessness to any outfit, while also being practical. You can use them to throw your hair up when you're on the run and even keep pesky flyaways out of your face.
