Mary-Kate Olsen Is the Latest Star to Wear This Quarantine-Friendly Hairstyle

Offering up a real-world wearable beauty equation while inspiring our next bodega run outfit, Olsen is the ultimate poster child for grown-up pigtails.

Nothing compares to the Olsen stamp of cool—especially on the style front. So, of course, after we’ve spent the last few months charting the uptick of perennially-nostalgic pigtails in quarantine (not to mention, test-driving them ourselves), we're relishing that they've won a nod from the embodiment of downtown chic: Mary-Kate Olsen.

Earlier this week in New York, the designer stepped out of The Row's Greenwich Street studio wearing a vintage cream Chanel coat, white button down, gray cuffed trousers, and Bottega Veneta sneakers. She topped off the retro-modern look with a black ribbed-knit beanie layered over a set of loose, chest-grazing pigtail braids. While adding to the effortlessness of her ensemble, her dual plaits were undeniably—and winningly—functional, too. Low pigtails are both easy to achieve in a hurry and advantageous for keeping long, grown-out lockdown lengths neat and protected against the winter elements. Just give yourself two quick braids, throw on a beanie, and go.
