6 Hairstyles To Try With Party Gowns In 2024

Many people often overlook this, but the biggest accessory for any outfit is the right hairstyle. When you style and tie your hair the right way it can dramatically make your outfit look better, even ten folds in some cases. The key to finding the perfect gown hairstyles lies in understanding your hair type, hair length, hair features, and last but not least the type of gown.

More often than not, we tend to gloss over the type of gown, the material, the neckline, and its structure while choosing a hairstyle. Just like we cherry-pick our jewellery, bags, shoes, makeup looks, and even a specific scent depending on the gown or lehenga we are going to wear, we need to start giving hairstyles just as equal a weightage. After all, the difference between a good day and a bad day is the hair.

With the festive season nearing and the wedding season not too far, let’s get into the different hairstyles for party gowns you can try in 2024. Some of these hairstyles are simple to try and for some, you might need the right tools and hair accessories to set it in place, but fret not, we got your backs, or shall we say your hair?

Hairstyles For V-Neck Gowns

Soft Waves

If you are wearing an elegant evening gown that fits you like a glove you can opt for a hairstyle that contrasts the fit of your gown. Cute yet demure locks of soft, bouncy waves have to be your go-to if you are running short on time. Even if you have coloured, highlighted hair, these waves will fit perfectly with your evening gowns, especially the ones with a V-neck.

How To Get The Look:

Part your hair on one side, we recommend making the partition of your good side (let’s not kid ourselves, we all have one side profile that we like better than the other). Apply some heat protection spray and kick off styling your hair with a hair waver. Additionally, you can pin some of your hair on the smaller partition with a hairpin or a brooch, so the bigger partition can rest on your forehead for a more sophisticated look.

Short & Medium Hair

Tools To Use:

Classic Low Bun

A V-neck evening gown is a classic choice that never goes wrong and a hairstyle that compliments it every time is a classy, retro, always-a-hit low bun. From Kate Middleton to Sarah Hyland, everyone is seen rocking the rocking the loose, semi-messy yet elegant bun hairstyle on more than one occasion.

How To Get The Look:

Take the front part of your hair and comb it backwards towards the roots to increase volume. Pull it back and secure it with a hair tie. Once you have your hair in a ponytail, wrap that hair around to create a bun. Fasten the bun with either a hairpin a clutch or a claw clip for that extra oomph.

This hairstyle will make you look like Cinderella walking into a ball without a care in the world exuding royalty. This hairstyle will also not mess with your beautiful neckline and shoulders while at the same time framing your face for that princess effect.

How To Get The Look:

Side Dutch-Braids

In the world of hairstyles, if cottage-core and bohemian-chic had a baby, this side dutch braid would be it. If you have a suave evening party to attend and your outfit has a beautiful neckline, uncover it with this makeshift crown hairstyle that screams ethereal beauty. A hairstyle popularly worn by Taylor Swift in her country era and now coming back in style are these Dutch braids that meet in the back to seamlessly lay like cascading waterfalls on a beautiful valley.

How To Get The Look:

Leave a few strands of hair in the front take the rest of the chunk and tie a Dutch braid that meets in the back. Pull the braid towards the outside so that it appears fuller and thicker. Secure the hair in the back with a floral or celestial buckle depending on the occasion. Add a slight wave for the waterfall effect in the back. Additionally, curl the strands left in the front for that big finish.

Hairstyles For Off-Shoulder Or Tube Gowns

High Pony

Ariana Grande may be the brand ambassador of high ponytails but if your evening gown highlights your décolletage, collarbone, and shoulders, this is the hairstyle for you. Not only does it pull focus away from your hair and back to your outfit, but as the hairline stretches upwards into a high pony, it also pulls your skin upwards offering a natural lift. It makes you look younger and sleeker. A high pony with a few side bangs can really seal the deal for any tube or off-the-shoulder party gown.

How To Get The Look:

Make a middle partition and draw a line from two inches in the middle to both sides. Pin that hair in front and pull the rest of the hair into a high pony with a paddle brush. Spray some setting spray to control any frizz for a slick pony. Take the hair in the front up to the ponytail or leave them aside as bangs if you like your forehead covered. Use a minimalistic hair tie or clutch at the base of your ponytail to make it look more defined and thicker.

Best Suited For:

Medium & Long Hair

Tools To Use:

Slick Back

If there is one hairstyle that’s making a comeback that would be the slick bun. It’s mess-free, looks chic, easy to pull off, and most importantly doesn’t need you to wash your hair if you are in a time crunch. A slick back bun is the simplest of them all, and it suits so perfectly with gowns that show off your shoulders.

How To Get The Look:

Apply some frizz-control serum and comb your hair. Pull it back in a tight pony then wrap your hair to make a bun. Secure it with pins or a hair band and finish it with some hair-setting spray. You can use a finishing stick to keep your baby hair or flyaways in place for the ultimate slick look.

Best Suited For:

All Hair Lengths

Parting Thoughts

The next time you get ready for a party and feel your hair doesn’t look great perhaps it’s because you didn’t style it the right way. Think of your hair as an accessory that you can change and alter according to your outfit. Use your hair to make a statement and mould it to make your gown shine brighter. With the right gown hairstyles, you can look no less than a celebrity on a red carpet.
