Knob-head

I usually only tie my hair right back in a top knot when I'm washing my face or haven't had time to do something more interesting.  But it appears that the slightly messy, dishevelled top knot/knob look has become a hair styling trend in Shoreditch. As I walk to work I  pass countless girls rocking this look with panache. Admittedly a lot of them have model-esque chiselled jawlines and jutting cheek bones so they can carry off such a bare-faced look with ease whereas I look like an unkempt tramp or an overly polished sloane ranger. For a lot of these girls I'm assuming that this seemingly casual style took a lot of careful grooming to achieve-especially as it's become the look du jour on the night-club scene. 

So, as you can tell from the MK Olsen image above, the hobo-chic look shows no sign of fading out. 90s grunge is in and remains a key trend for A/W alongside its counterpart of Mad Men inspired femininity. Sadly for me, with my newly cut off hairstyle (which I'm HATING by the way), I can't join in. I'll live vicariously through you long haired ladies.
