Hold the phone (and your horses)! The pony-hair trend is making the rounds among the fashion set. Offering texture, warmth, and a lot of luxury, pony hair has been spotted on everything from bags to shoes to coats as of late. Designers like Khaite and Alaïa have been going especially pony-hair heavy in the accessories department. A Le Teckel bag in slick black pony hair just might be what dreams are made of. If the name of the game is adding interest to an outfit, pony hair does this in spades.

While I've come to love pops of color as a way to elevate my looks, a pop of pony is just as effective, especially considering most of the pony hair you'll come across is done in animal prints, another big trend for spring. For everyday dressing, I'd opt for a pair of simple flats in the material. They do wonders when paired with this season's uniform: a sweater and jeans. A pony-hair bag in a compact, elegant shape is ideal for evenings out, and I adore the idea of a pony-hair trench coat worn over a slim pencil skirt and T-shirt for special events.

That's not all. I've managed to find even more ways to wear the pony-hair trend this season. Saddle up—27 covetable pony-hair items are moments away.
