Why Colorful Hair is Your Best Cold-Weather Accessory: The Street Style Antidote to Winter’s Bite

If the sun-streaked brunettes spotted at New York Fashion Week invoke summers spent luxuriating surfside, the kaleidoscope of supernatural dye jobs embraced by our favorite street style stars offers a deliberately artificial antidote to the polar winter chill.

Not that it’s all Day-Glo brights: Fashion editor Sarah Harris matched her signature silver hair color to her coat, while faint washes of pastel pink reminded us that spring is just around the corner. One thing’s for sure: The colorful hair trend is just getting warmed up.
