Men with ponytails: who can pull it off?

Gavin Rossdale rocking a ponytail at an event with his wife, Gwen Stefani

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale attended the Museum Of Contemporary Art Gala last weekend and both looked as gorgeous as ever. But the bloggers over at Glamour noticed something quite interesting: Rossdale had his hair in a ponytail.

While the hippie movement had some guys interested in longer hair styles, they really gained popularity in the 1970s, '80s, and early '90s. For the most part, the dudes who once rocked shoulder grazing styles have since worn shorter styles. Well, except for Fabio. While men's hairstyles are more clean cut now, we can't help but notice many celebs in the last year or two putting their chin-length 'dos into ponytails. Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, and Russell Crowe, have all been photographed with ponytails. Men of all ages from 22-year-old Zac Efron to 76-year-old Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld have worn them.

While long, slicked back ponytails may conjure up images of Steven Seagal, Gavin Rossdale kind of pulls it off. We don't even have the urge to reach for a pair of scissors! Is it possible that his (and Depp's and Farrell's) hotness transcends hairstyles and he can get away with a ponytail?

What do you ladies think of ponytails? Do you like the look? Does it depend on the dude? Do they make you cringe? If you liked a guy who wore a ponytail could it be a potential dealbreaker?

    My boyfriend had really long hair down to his waist I loved it. he would wear it in a low ponytail, or in a braid. I think long hair is sexy on men. Davey Havok during Sing the Sorrow! Wow!

    Not all men can pull it off... Prob. just the ones who are good looking either way in my opinion... Trying to picture my man w/ one & I am like Yikes! NO! (But then I prefer when he has a mohawk of all things so go figure!!)

    Speaking as a guy, Willie Nelson and the Outlaws are always in fashion with the PT's.
