We recently asked our Upstage muse Nicola about her favourite hairstyle, and she revealed that she absolutely loves braids. So, we decided to dedicate a blog to this versatile and stylish hairdo—with the Upstage twist, of course! Braids aren’t just a chic way to elevate your look—they’re also a staple in the dance world and a perfect match for your Upstage wardrobe. Beyond a sleek ponytail, a simple braid is your go-to for achieving a polished and sleek appearance, whether you’re rehearsing or performing on stage. With their practicality and flair, braids keep your hair in place while adding a touch of elegance to your dance routine. It’s the kind of detail that perfectly complements any Upstage outfit, from a high-performance bodysuit to your everyday studio wear. There are countless braid styles to choose from, each offering its own unique flair. From the classic French braid to the intricate Dutch braid, the elegant fishtail braid, and the trendy box braids, the options are endless—and they all pair beautifully with your favourite Upstage pieces.
