"It&amp;#x27;s no secret around here that I harbor an affection for pigtails. Not that I ever wear them or anything. I just like them and think it&amp;#x27;s sad that so many of us stop wearing them around the age of seven. They&amp;#x27;re a flattering, easy, and fun alternative to our default buns and ponytails, and they can be made to look cool. Proof: fashion It Girl Hanneli Mustaparta at yesterday&amp;#x27;s Dior cruise show in Brooklyn. Here&amp;#x27;s a shot of her riding the Dior water taxi to the show, looking beyond chic in low ponytail pigtails. And here she is sitting front row, where we can appreciate the positioning of her side-parted, somewhat-poufy pigtails right below her ears. Along with the purse pose and the T-strap shoes, these pigtails obviously nod to girlishness, but I think they come off as more high fashion than Lolita-esque. Don&amp;#x27;t you agree? Not only does Hanneli have great style (check out her Instagram account if you&amp;#x27;re not familiar), she&amp;#x27;s ahead of the curve when it comes to hair. As I posted about last summer, Hanneli was also way ahead of the segmented-ponytail trend that&amp;#x27;s still going strong. Still, nobody can pull off pigtails better than Rita Ora. What are your thoughts on pigtails as a viable hairstyle option for grown women? Do you ever wear them? Are there rules to making them cool vs. overly cutesy?
