Increase the wow factor of a simple low ponytail by fastening it with a leather band at a jaunty angle like at the Loewe Spring 2018 show. Take a DIY approach and repurpose an old necklace or trim from a fabric store.

Right on Top
Remember what we said about playing around with placement? Take inspiration from "I Dream of Jeanie" and sweep strands up into a high ponytail on the very top of the head. For a sleek finish, flat iron the ends and conceal the hair elastic with a piece of hair. For more of a throwback feel, try the pastel blue eyeshadow from the Zang Toi runway.

Twisted Tail
This creatively twisted pony is a cinch to recreate. Gather locks into a ponytail by one ear then twist them around the top of the head, leaving a few inches undone so strands can fall around the face. Balance the loose ends with a single statement earring in the opposite ear.

Incorporate a Scarf
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.

All Wrapped up
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.
