I always wear my hair tied back, but I’m bored of the classic ponytail. Can you suggest an easy style that I could do quickly in the mornings that won’t make me late for work?

A braid is an easy and totally on-trend style that is easy to do, looks totally stylish, and can be changed to add versatility to everyday hair.

Start by sectioning the hair into a soft side parting and apply a small amount of serum to the surface of the hair, (Kerastase Serum Nutri Sculpt is the best light serum, £17.50, 0800 316 4400). Braid the hair across to the side, either in a French braid or chunky single braid. Take asymmetrically to the nape of the neck, and secure into the nape using hair grips.

Hair can also be left loose and secured with an elastic. Braids can be left neat and tidy, or softened for a more Boho feel.

Finish with a light spray of Shu Uemura Art of Hair Sheer Lacquer (£15.50, 0800 633 5021) for added hold.

I’m pear-shaped and can never find dresses to suit my body – what kinds of styles should I go for?

It’s a fact that pear shapes are smaller on top than bottom with fuller hips and thighs, so it’s far easier for you to wear separate tops and skirts in two different sizes. However, if you’re looking for that perfect fitting dress you should look for styles that enhance your slim waist and accentuate your shoulders while minimising your hips and thighs.

Look for dresses that cinch in at the waist or just above, as this will emphasise how slim you are here. Interesting details on top such as frills, pleats, pockets and embellishments will keep the focus very much on your upper body and away from your hips and thighs, keep detail minimal here.

Fluted, puff, bell or cap sleeves and wide necklines will also broaden the appearance of your shoulders balancing your figure proportionately.
