Are you wondering about what outfits you can wear with a ponytail?
There are many reasons you may want to wear your hair up in a ponytail. At least for me, my hair goes together in a pony on days between wash. That means my hair is still relatively clean but it´s no longer as voluminous as it when freshly washed. And then as I near the schedule to wash my hair, I wair my hair up in a bun.
Wearing your hair in a ponytail can be tricky specially if you´re going to work. If you position the tail too high you would look unprofessional, yet if too low you can easily look dated.
And then there´s the whole science of what outfits go well with the ponytail hairstyle. I´ve written about how to wear ponytail with a suit or business attire, but this blog post is all about what outfits to wear with a ponytail for different accasions.
Btw, these outfits are available over at Closet London. I love all their elegant pieces.

1. Ponytail with Printed Top + Tan Pleated Skirt
If you´ll wear a blouse with exaggerated sleeves paired with a pleated knee-length skirt, you are going to add width to your silhouette. In order to avoid looking like a wide rectangle, tying your hair together in a ponytail will create contrast between the slim vertical length of your face to your neck and the volume of your sleeves and skirt.
2. Ponytail with A Navy Blazer for Work Outfit
For work, try a navy blazer dress with a ponytail hairstyle. In order to look glamorous yet professional in this look, make sure that the ponytail is tied just a little above your ears and add some soft curls or curves to your tail.

Another style of dress that call for a neat hairstyle such as a ponytail is the wrap-tie-style. As you can see, although the dress has a solid color, there´s a lot going on in it.

9. With a fit-and-flare dress
More often than not, a fit and flare mini dress gives your figure the most perfect aesthetic. If you have narrow hips, it gives you more hips. However, if you have a flatter derriere, it gives you more bump. If you´re not an hour glass, it makes you look as if you are. Why ruin that aesthetic with a hair worn down that competes for attention? Definitely wear your hair in a ponytail for this look.
