Summers are a good time to try out new things, or old in this case. Retro styles never fail to impress. Simply tease the crown of your hair for some extra volume, smooth it back into a high pony, and secure with a hair tie. Complete the look with a bold hair scarf or oversized sunglasses for a touch of old-school chic.
