Back in the day, wearing black signified grief, and wearing it on other occasions was not socially acceptable. This all changed on 1926, when Coco Chanel advertised her short black dress on the American Vogue. One photo that changed fashion rules forever.
The little black dress (LBD in short) – being accessible to women from all social statures – has since then become a uniform of sorts for women in many different iterations and styles, thanks to the futuristic visionnaires at Vogue.
Looking for an equivalent in the world of hairstyles – we’d bet on the updo.
An updo – whether it’s a strict chignon or a loose, windswept do, thought out carefully with the hairdresser or one that merely “happened” into life while you were running errands.
A sophisticated updo, one that takes you from a power lunch at work to an elegant wedding in the evening.
With the right accessories, you can rest assured that your appearance is always on point. Effort? No need to sweat perfection.
It’s officially transitioning from winter to spring and the weather is going crazy from confusion. With an updo everything is in place, and the naughty wind won’t ruin your look.
If you’re a looking for a chic, feminine hair style that’s also very appropriate and elegant – the updo is your answer. And if you’ve started thinking about what style you’d like to wear your wig for Pesach – here’s some food for thought…
“When a little black dress is right, there is nothing else to wear in its place,” said Wallis Simpson, the duchess of Windsor. We could argue the same goes for the updo – and when you pair it with an LBD? That’s what we call the real deal.
