We’ve been rocking braids (or plaits:-) since we were little girls. Who would have known that good ‘ol, simple braids would become tres chic and a trend to watch! Well, these aren’t exactly the same braids our mom gave us back in the day. As shown in the Alexander Wang Spring/Summer ‘10 shows, the cool girl way to wear your braid now is slightly messy and to the side. This hair style goes perfect with the tough pretty aesthetic that the genius Mr. Wang has made relevant again. We thought it was only appropriate that I experiment with the braid while rocking some Alexander Wang gear. I’m feeling my gritty vibe in this outfit and my braid was the perfect finishing touch!
