The spring 2012 shows at New York Fashion Week offered some of the most wearable collections in years and the coifs were no different. Save for a few inevitable extremes, most designers took an obvious, easy approach when it came to the model’s strands. And the best part? We can try out these hot summer hairstyles right now! No one’s stopping us ;)

Here’s my quick hair trend guide, straight from the runway:

• Colorful (but subtle) streaks at Peter Som
• Athletic ponytails at Derek Lam
• Frizzy, renaissance hair at Oscar de la Renta

• Sleek hair at BCBG Max Azria
• Messy safari braids at Michael Kors
• Simple and straight at Calvin Klein
