Even if you have a glam squad, it can still be a challenge to look cute in freezing, blustering weather — especially when it comes to your hair. That's why these celebrities are truly brilliant: not only do braids lend a casual coolness to a coif, but they are fully functional. Warm Winter hats are still wearable without the risk of hat head (check out Olivia Palermo's cute low braid), and the wind actually improves the tousled look of your chosen style. Read on for the best braids of Fashion Week.
