Chanel brings back the side ponytail at Paris Fashion Week

The theme might have been the digital age, but the beauty look at Chanel's Spring/Summer 2017 ready-to-wear show in Paris Tuesday was a nostalgic throwback. This was mainly achieved thanks to the hair — Karl Lagerfeld's models strutted down the catwalk wearing their hair tied in low-slung side ponytails held in place with colorful hair elastics bearing charm forms of the brand's iconic 'C' logo. As well as calling to mind some of the best TV shows from the 1990s, the style also made space for a crucial accessory — baseball caps worn chirpily sideways.
