For a fancier look, braided buns are also fairly easy but a little more time consuming. If it is a hot day do the three strand braided bun. Do a three strand braid and then tuck and wrap it around its self, till it is a little wrapped ball at the nape of your neck.
There is also the Tucked French braid. Do a normal French braid and tuck it up under its self and secure it with either hair pins or a hair clip. This is a good one for going out because it looks soft and sweet.
Really thick and long hair might want to use hair pins instead of bobby pins to secure the bun because they are longer and have more grip. (If you have problems with getting bobby pins to work in your hair it is probably because they are either too big or too small, usually too small).
Of all the different types of braided buns these are the two I use the most. Very easy, very quick, giving a little more refined look then just a plain braid. With any style, though, remember that it will give an image. For example, recently I tried the “very in style” Milkmaid Braid where you make a braid on either side of the head then wrap them around and hair pin them on top so they are making a crown. I ended up not liking it because it took me forever to do and when I was finished it was really loose and felt like it was going to fall out and it made me look like… a milkmaid! Surprise!
