While fashion magazines tend to opt for big, luscious waves or sleek, straight hair in photo shoots, these pigtail editorials make a strong case for the classic schoolgirl style.
Whether the double ponytail look is big or sleek and elegant, one thing is for sure, this hairstyle can definitely be sexy. Pigtails even occasionally make a rare appearance on the runway, as they did on the now infamous Prada Spring 2010 catwalk.
If you want to add an innocent touch to an edgy outfit, these pigtail editorials provide some much needed inspiration. Maybe you're looking to spice up the classic hairdo with some accessories and different hair textures. Whatever your style may be, these pigtail editorials have something to inspire you.
