Long Hair

If you’re considering growing out your hair, this summer is the ideal time, especially with the rising popularity of long hair among male celebrities. Figures like Aaron Taylor-Johnson have embraced this rugged look, and it’s no wonder why—it’s versatile and adaptable. Whether you prefer a middle part, side part, or slicked-back style, chin-length hair allows for various options based on your face shape and personal taste. Regardless of whether your hair is straight, wavy, or curly, longer locks seem to be the trend in men’s haircuts this season. Plus, longer hair provides an opportunity to accessorize. If you’re tired of hair falling into your face, consider rocking a '90s-style headband or use clips to pin it back.

Tousled

While both Austin Butler and Ryan Gosling often rock crew cuts or other short, cropped men’s hairstyles, they also embrace a tousled, dishevelled appearance. If you’re prone to chronic bed-head or simply want to change up your short hair this season, consider the artfully windswept style. This look flatters various face shapes, but it’s particularly suited for those with heart-shaped faces. To achieve the effortlessly messy vibe, grab your favourite hair wax and create texture using your hands. For an elevated tousled look, invest in a quality curling iron or a round hair-drying brush to add subtle waves or curls. Finish off with a generous spritz of holding hairspray for that perfectly undone effect!

There's no doubt about it, this is one of the most buzzed-about men's haircuts of the year.

Crew cut

If you’re not ready to part ways with the classic crew cut, you’re not alone. This timeless men’s haircut remains popular for good reason. Celebrities like Glen Powell demonstrate why it’s a favourite among actors, influencers, models, and everyday men. If you have a diamond or triangle face shape, consider opting for the crew cut this season. With its closely cropped sides and short hair in both the back and front, it’s also one of the easiest styles to maintain day-to-day. Just apply a bit of your favourite gel or pomade each morning to create texture and add height.

Buzz Cut

This season, the bob haircut reigns as the trendiest choice for feminine haircut. If you’ve noticed that many girlies around you are opting for a big chop, consider taking the plunge with a buzzcut. Don’t worry—you don’t have to go fully bald unless that’s on your bucket list. Some of our favourite celebrities have embraced buzzcuts and consistently delivered stylish looks. Fans have particularly adored Michael B. Jordan’s buzzcut. The best part? Buzzcuts require minimal daily styling. As your hair grows out, you’ll have two options: either shave it off again to maintain the buzzcut or let it grow out once more.

Mullet

There's no doubt about it, the mullet is one of the most buzzed-about men's haircuts of the year. With fashion icons like Harris Dickinson, verifiable man of the moment, sporting the look and offering a chic, elevated spin on the polarizing '80s hairstyle. The mullet is also an extremely versatile hairstyle, so if you're unsure about how Harris Dickinson's look would translate to your face shape, don't worry, you can switch up the front style to suit your own physical features without compromising the integrity of the mullet. Whether you opt for a cropped, straight-across bang look like Mescal or a long, shaggy look, just secure knowing you're sporting the style of the season.

Middle Part

Whether you’ve been growing out your hair this summer or want to refresh your short hairstyle with a middle part, there’s good news—it’s a universally flattering look. Take inspiration from style icons like Park Jimin of BTS. The middle part is ideal for those who prefer low-maintenance styles and want to avoid daily heat styling or hair gel. Whether you wear your middle part slicked back, tucked behind your ears, or cropped, you’ll effortlessly exude style this summer with this trendy men’s haircut.
