With sprinklings of snow, sheets of rain, and misty veils serving as the month s natural (though often unsolicited) hair stylists, the best beauty strategy is achieved by leaning into looks with just the right amount of mussed. Fortunately, a cadre of It girls have taken to Instagram to demonstrate the aspirational balance between done-up and she s-come-undone.

And, as Truly Young s hot pink chop boasted a rumpled wave that skimmed pleasingly over her fluffy coat collar, Gabrielle Richardson s cloud of curls reimagined frizz as a welcome texture—particularly when paired with a scatter of bold red accessories. Here, five reasons to give in and embrace the (freezing cold) air-dry.
