Good points though. Thanks

I'm in the UK, I see the odd updo here and there and it always looks nice, I don't think it has to in, it's not the most trendy style but I don't think it's something that is totally out.
I had a wedding recently I didn't wear an updo because I don't like how it looks on me but I would've if it did.
I do see some interesting pony styles sometimes so maybe try something like that.

Beautiful and classic. Just saw the mother of the bride with this hairdo at a very fashionable wedding (and she herself does wigs).

It won't allow me access for some reason. I'd love to see it!

The picture posted is very in for the at least a year already. Pulled back in a low "down-do", elegant, sophisticated but not too much.

What can I Google that it might come up?
My teen niece's actually had stunning for their hair . Very elegant, all up with a big satin bow to match their dress.

I can't imagine that working on a wig.

Yes I’ve seen it a lot for 2 years for sure, it’s a low bun style

I'm in the UK. Had a siblings wedding recently in Golders Green. Had my wig in a pony. It looked stunning and I got loads of compliments. Not sure an older woman can can pull it off though. Penina Gershon did my mum and sis, you can check her stuff out on Instagram, she is very trendy.

Yes, and the other pic can work for a wig. You need an experienced wig stylist. I'm 37 and wore a similar style to my DS's bar mitzva last year.
I personally don't like the pony look because it's a more informal style even when done elegantly, and also to me it's more of a teenage style. Not saying it can't be done, but I personally wouldn't go for it. A low bun is classy and elegant. You can pull out more hairs in front or less according to your taste.

The newer wigs are multi directional
I did very similar on my wig 2 months ago

I don't really know about trends, but last summer I got my sheitel done in a really nice pony with hair left in front to frame my face and I got so many compliments.

Can I ask how old you are please?
I'm now debating between a pony or a low bun.
I'm 37. But feel so much younger 😅

I was just at a beautiful wedding , the family knows very well what’s “in” and the sister of the kallah had her shaitel in a beautiful slightly messy updo. But why not do what’s flattering for you in any case ?

Today at 2:36 am

I've had a nice low bun put in my wig. I'm just a little annoyed with my sil for 'copying' . I thought I was being brave and different. I mentioned to her that I'm having that, so on Shabbos my mother asked her what she's having done in her wig, or just regular down. She said not a bun but she'll ask her sheitel macher what she thinks.

She obviously recommended a low bun.

Yesterday I asked her what she did in the end, she said bun because her dress is very busy on the top part. I just replied 'oh we'll be twins!' but hers will likely be nicer than mine because she went to a better sheitel macher. One that's younger than mine and meant to be amazing. Oh well .. So much for being different.

Fwiw DH and I had a good laugh because of how petty, and a typical jealous woman I'm being Very Happy
