The Dries Van Noten fall 2011 show proved that the devil’s in the  details with the easiest update for your everyday ponytail. Simply  switch out your elastic for a large metal ring to exude an edgy,  minimalistic vibe. Hopefully high-street stores will pick up on this, but in the meantime  get the look with these easy steps: 
1. Find a large thick ring. A man’s thumb ring would work nicely. 
2. Twist your hair into a coiled ponytail, wetting the hair first will  help it stick together even more so it’s easier to thread through the  ring. 
3. Thread your hair through the ring and push up into your usual  ponytail.
