The ponytail is having its moment and never more so than now. It has spanned three seasons, rarely is there one hairstyle that has been so prominent on the catwalk than that of the ponytail

As seen at: Marc Jacobs, Emanuel Ungaro, Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Christopher Kane

Marc Jacobs showing in New York so often sets the tone for the season. The chic androgynous ponytail was the hairstyle that got the editors talking and we’ve seen it so often.  Strict, clean, simple are all words used to describe this season’s ponytail but when coupled with the clothes seen at Louis Vuitton, Burberry et al it can all of a sudden become futuristic, androgynous, sexually charged and forceful. Nothing carefree.

The use of hairsprays, serums and gels really wet the hair down and when combed through add a different feel to the situation; the use of this texture and partings is essential for this season’s ponytail. Polished perfection that toughens up the look makes the feeling stricter.

It is how they are styled and worn that changes each season. The pony tail is such a flattering style – no matter which way of wearing it you choose – as it shows the bone structure of the face. This season the ponytail is worn low at the neck, creating the feeling it is thrown together but never messy. Channel the idea of the young girl on the playground with her hair falling out. Her mother has quickly pulled it together. It’s careless, pulled over the ears, wispy around the face, all back or at a centre parting and tied loosely at the nape of the neck; it has the feeling of youthful naivety. A modern twist on a good girl pony tail
