Rather than tying a scarf around your neck, wrap it around a low ponytail instead. At Lanvin, hairstylist Tomohiro Ohashi fastened silk scarves around sleek ponies, exposing just a few inches at the end. Try the look with this pretty printed Vince Camuto You Had Me at Ahoy Kite Silk Scarf, $32.

Here's another take on the tightly bound ponytail that uses a thin leather strap to keep strands in place. Pick up an extra-long piece of cord from a craft store, like the Faux Leather Suede Beading Cord, $2.79, and carefully wrap the length of the tail, being careful to keep the spacing tight.

We can always count on Chanel to deliver beauty inspo. Sam McKnight created a ponytail with all the trimmings by topping textured low ponies with veils and floral headpieces. The look might be a bit dramatic for an everyday style but keep it in mind for weddings and festival season.

Is it pigtails or a ponytail? It's both. This clever hybrid style combines two twisted pigtails to form a straight ponytail. Finish with a clear elastic, like the Sephora Collection Snag-Free Hair Elastics, $3.50, to keep the focus on the hair.

Pick up a comb and start dividing hair beginning at the forehead, creating an intricate, geometric design. Continue all the way down the nape of the neck to create a flowing ponytail like the one seen at Fatima Lopes that looks gorgeous from all angles.
