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.

Veils and Flowers
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.

Pigtail Pony
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.

Sectional Ponytail
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.

Add Some Color
The super sleek side parts at Fendi were Pinterest-worthy but it's the fusion of the long hair with the bright blue and green turquoise haircuts by Sam McKnight that captured our attention. Half-haircuts might be difficult to pull off IRL so take a cue from the look and experiment with temporary rainbow hair colors on only half of the head. It's a twist on the popular half-and-half hair color trend.
