Oh, the braid. It can be basic or intricate, but either way, it's the ultimate solution for what we've aptly named: Summer sweaty neck.

Maybe you don't have a big red carpet event coming up, but every woman needs an arsenal of formal updos for wedding season. These modern looks go way beyond the classic chignon.

Kate Mara has mastered the art of the updo even with a shoulder-length haircut. So, when it comes to off-the-neck hair inspiration, we turn to her best red carpet hair moments.

That twisted bun you've been wearing to the gym is also the go-to style once the thermometer hits 95 degrees. The messy topknot is perfect for a day by the pool, or go for a sleeker version for date night.

This sideswept chignon leaves your neck and ears bare for jewels or for a cool Summer breeze just to blow through.
