Separate your hair into three sections like you would for a classic braid, then tie the two on the outside together in a knot in front of the middle section. Wrap them around and knot them again in the back, and finish by securing the whole ponytail with an elastic. </p><p><strong>Albertus Swanepoel</strong> Bambi hat, $250, <a href="http://albertusswanepoel.com/shop/white-trapper" target="_blank">albertusswanepoel.com</a>; <strong>White + Warren</strong> Essential Cashmere Turtleneck, $198, <a href="http://www.whiteandwarren.com/essential-cashmere-turtleneck-36?mkwid=s4gbnp9xg&crid=86238602065&mp_kw=&mp_mt=&pdv=c&gclid=CK7CoJWfk8oCFYQYHwodXCEH1Q" target="_blank">whiteandwarren.com</a>.</p>
