Wig schoolgirl Vivian black

The black Vivian schoolgirl wig is a long, straight women's wig with a middle parting and two low ponytails that fall well past the chest.

Wear it for Carnival or a beauty and brains party, where the schoolgirl is one of the most recognisable costumes. There is a light bow above each ponytail, instantly creating the classic schoolgirl hairstyle.

Pigtails, parting and colour

• The colour is deep black throughout, with no highlights.
• The hair is tied into two ponytails, each starting just behind an ear.
• There is a light, sheer bow above each ponytail.
• A sharp middle parting runs across the crown, and there are no bangs.
• The locks are straight and fall well past the chest.
• The wig is designed for women and comes from the brand Funny Fashion.

The schoolgirl costume theme

The schoolgirl is a classic costume theme centred on a few recognisable elements: a collared blouse, a checked tie or skirt, and a hairstyle with pigtails. It is precisely those pigtails that complete the look. Without that hairstyle, the same blouse would more likely be seen as an office look. At a beauty and brains party, guests choose between the role of the beauty and that of the brains, and the schoolgirl costume suits both. Black hair also creates a stronger contrast with a white blouse than a light hair colour.

How to wear the pigtails for Carnival or a beauty and brains party?

The black Vivian schoolgirl wig is best worn for Carnival with a white blouse with a pointed collar and a checked tie or skirt, so that the black pigtails stand out against the white. If you are taking part in a parade, let the pigtails fall in front of your shoulders. This keeps them visible and prevents you from trapping them under a coat or bag. For a beauty and brains party, you can choose your role with the rest of your outfit: glasses with thick frames and a book under your arm make you the brains, while red lipstick and a pleated skirt make you the beauty. Put on the wig before leaving and smooth the parting straight with your fingers so that the middle line runs sharply across your crown.

Order the black Vivian schoolgirl wig and take to the streets for Carnival with two long black pigtails.
