The ballerina topknot is perfect for summer since it's an unfussy updo that keeps your neck cool and hair out your face. The pretty trend works with fancy attire (if you're going to an outdoor, summer wedding) or casual clothes (for when you're out running errands). And as you'll see here, Taylor Swift was recently a dressy bunhead, while Kim Kardashian kept it more casual.

Don't let the sun beat down on you head, causing your hair color to fade and resulting in dried out strands. Protect your locks with a big-brimmed hat, and pair it with some stylin' shades to keep the delicate skin around your eyes safe and wrinkle-free. That's a lot of covering up, but you can do so fashionably. Just ask mom and model Miranda Kerr, fashion-forward actress Diane Kruger -- and mor

Tall and thigh-high boots aren't really a summer trend, but since retailers will soon begin bringing in fall and winter items, why not think ahead about your cold weather wardrobe now and consider grabbing some of the boots that stars like Cara Delevingne and Selena Gomez have been wearing? Granted, they do send a message, so it takes some cultivated confidence to wear them. But paired with the ri

Shades are an essential part of any hot weather wardrobe, and black sunnies are all the rage this year. Celebs are taking care to choose an array of statement shapes that flatter their faces, like Rihanna's retro cat-eyed sunglasses or Kourtney Kardashian's thick, rectangular pair.

There are many ways to wear stripes. As you can see above, they can be dressy, like Solange's suit, or they can be a fun part of a more casual ensemble -- like actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's loose top. Whether vertical or horizontal, they can create visual interest. That said, you've gotta be careful and make sure that the direction of the pattern flatters your shape, because stripes can acc

Big, boxy bags are all the rage this summer -- they're structured and sophisticated and can fit everything you need. They're like portable suitcases, with better styling and details. Maybe that's why glamourpusses like Selena Gomez and Gwen Stefani are so fond of them.

A denim jacket is a three-season item -- it can be worn in spring, summer and fall as an added layer and to keep warm when there's an unexpected chill or a temperature dip even in hot months. Overall, nothing pulls a summer look together quite like it.

A berry lip can be one of two things: Goth, or vampy and vixenish. While the bordeaux stained lip is usually reserved for fall, celebs are breaking the rules and painting their lips in rich wine-inspired matte hues this spring and summer, too. The best thing about the look? As demonstrated by pop divas Rihanna and Beyonce, you can paint your pout and leave the rest of your face minimally made up,

Layers are always in, no matter the season. In fall and winter, you warm up with scarves, sweaters and jackets -- and in summer, layering thin tanks and light scarves adds styling without bulk. But in late spring, when the temps can swing, the celebs have been spotted adding layers to their jeans ensembles for style and comfort. And while they may be moms of multiple kids, Reese Witherspoon and S

Black leather? In springtime? That's certainly been a celeb habit this year. Granted, several stars, like Jennifer Lopez, have been donning the cold weather-appropriate fabric when in the U.K. where it's cooler. Even so, it's a startling but dominant trend.

Black and white prints are timeless, but they are hotter than lava this season. All the celebs are rocking black and white, which usually pops with the addition of red from either lipstick or accessories.

Don't go running and screaming and fleeing from the room at the thought of orange lips. You can do a bright, bold and juicy pout, and celebs like Zooey Deschanel and Selena Gomez show you how. The color is perfect for summer and works with all skin tones -- as long as you choose the right shade and concentration.

Nothing is murder on hair like summer's heat and humidity. Whether you have straight, shiny locks or coarse 'n curly tendrils, warm air interferes with sleek, polished styling. A possible fix? Sideswept, one-shoulder waves. It's an intentionally messy style -- in fact, the messier, the better. You can get away with not washing your hair, using little product and avoid further sweating from the b
