Want to wear high pigtails without going full Baby Spice? Take a cue from the Alexander Wang Fall 2019 show and wear supremely sleek and straight center-parted pigtails. The look ends up being more "The Matrix" than preschool — especially when paired with micro sunglasses and chunky jewelry.

Long Lengths
The braided pigtails hairstylist Guido Palau created for the Prada Fall 2019 show were long-hair-don't-care #goals, what with those 22-inch extensions. Hair not so Rapunzel-ish? Take inspiration from the precise part and wet-look finish. Both trends are key for Spring 2020, too.

Next Level Braiding
Elevation is the name of the braid game when it comes to making pigtails look more sophisticated. At the Dior Spring 2020 show Palau framed faces with soft, skinny Dutch braids.

In a Loop
Take a pair of wispy pigtails and twist them back around to form two loops, like at Bora Aksu Spring 2019. If pieces fall out, that's OK. Texture tempers any would-be frou-frou vibes.

Off the Shoulders
Control the urge to always place locks over the front of shoulders. Make like the Max Mara Spring 2020 show and start the braids further back behind ears so pigtails will naturally fall down the back. Gothic black lipstick results in a grown-up Wednesday Addams look.
