Why Jennifer Aniston's side-swept Cali hairstyle is our go-to for autumn
Appearing at the 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards on September 15th, Jennifer Aniston looked the picture of elegance, pairing a pearl-covered Oscar de la Renta gown with a bouncy, side-parted hair look.
Described as "California girl effortless," by celebrity hairstylist, Chris McMillan, Aniston's long, layered hair was parted at the side, allowing her to sweep it over one shoulder - for an elevated but uncomplicated look. Her strands were gently tousled and boasted a reflective and oh-so-healthy shine.
The beauty of this sort of hairstyle is its ease and versatility. It works on everything from short, jaw-length hair to ultra-long strands and pairs with both formal and everyday attire - as Aniston demonstrates. It also offers an easy alternative to the (very much de rigueur) middle parting, especially if you're desperate for a change but aren't confident in your hair styling skills.

As for the styling, simply part your hair when wet and blow-dry, as this will help to lock any stubborn strands in place. It really is that easy. We would also suggest using one of the best hair dryer brushes (especially if you have layers like Aniston), as this will help to smooth and straighten your hair, whilst also adding some flattering bounce and body. Then, lock your look in place with hairspray.
