Sophisticated styles for long hair?

[VintagePearls]

Are there any cuts/styles for long hair that look sophisticated? My hair is long (it hits about two inches past the bottom of my chest). I am so often mistaken for someone younger. I do have young-looking features, but I know that my long hair also plays a part in this. However, I do not want to cut it because (1) I love my hair long and (2) I do not look good with short hair.

Are there any sophisticated and mature styles for long hair?

A sleek high ponytail - gotta love that. It's a classic. You could put some shine serum in to make it more "dressy".

And of course...you can do tons of braids as well. You should ceck out this thread: http://forums.thefashionspot.com/f47/runway-makeup-s-s-10-a-86271.html

I have long layered hair that falls just below my boobs. I also have layers and fringe around my face. I like doing a high ponytail with another piece of hair wrapped around the elastic. I also like pinning it half up with a cute clip or bobby pins.

I really love the second one with Ahslee Simpson, but when I do that, there's no resemblance, it just looks wrong!

I don't think that the Ashlee Simpson looks are sophisticated at all. But they're very, very cute though!

Nicole Kidman's hairstyle isn't what I think of as sophisticated. It looks too prom-like and cheap (to me).

I think this is sophisticated. You need some killer cheekbones to pull it off though
