"Tight, clean ponytails that don't compete with your mask straps will be the chicest look of the season," said Toth. "Usually ponytails are a lot softer looking in the summertime, but this year you won't want soft little tendrils flying in your face."
There's also a practical reason behind the slicked-back, out-of-your-face style: "Once you leave home you'll want your hairstyle to last all day, and there's nothing cute about needing to adjust or fix a loose hairstyle while you're out and about in basic PPE (mask and gloves). It will actually be really important to ignore your impulses and limit what you touch when you're in public, which especially includes your face, glasses, and hair."
