Topped Off Tails
Chic hair accessories are trending and can quickly upgrade classic pigtails from girlish to chic. Choose statement-making pieces and play around with interesting placements, like the netted headband placed toward the back of the head at Bora Aksu Spring 2020.

Third Twist
The gently-mussed double braids at the Ashish Spring 2020 show enhance the classic pigtail look and make your hair appear thicker. We also love the unique touch of the loose braid running down the center of the head.

Sectioned Off
Whether you already have cornrows or not, this look from the Antonio Marras Spring 2020 show can inspire a variety of ideas. It demonstrates how any braided hairstyle could be tweaked into double braided pigtails. Furthermore, it makes a case for creative accessorizing with some ribbon.

Hats On
Accessories can make or break a look. Anyone worried about their pigtails looking too juvenile can top them with a sophisticated cap, a la the Max Mara Spring 2020 runway.

Brought to the Back
Placement can be a gamechanger in adulting pigtails. At the Ulla Johnson Spring 2020 show, twisted(!) pigtails were brought to the back of the head. Pair them with an open back for the most drama.
