During finals season in college, there was a girl in a couple of my classes who always showed up to our exams wearing a full-face beat and big, barrel curls. I remember asking her why she got all glammed up to take a test, and her response? "When you look good, you feel good." And while college me definitely rolled my eyes, a more grown-up me realizes that she definitely had a point.

Zendaya wore a bucket hat on the February cover of GQ, so that's what we're wearing all spring 2021! Sorry, I don't make the rules. Rake a golf ball-sized amount of mousse through your ends to add texture, plop on your hat, then snap a selfie.
