Most Popular Men’s Haircuts

Mullets are back in style, but truthfully they never really left, just transformed. These days, the style is to keep things short and tidy, and not let the party in the back go too long. It’s edgy, chic, and totally timeless.

Buzz cuts are the definition of less is more. Close-shaved hair but not quite bald, it’s perfect for men looking to rock a leather jacket and boots without looking like they’re trying too hard. A good buzz cut has that dangerous, watch-out feel.

Crew cuts are a classic staple that have stuck around for quite a while, and for good reason. They’re simple, but not too simple. Basic, but not too basic. They’re easy to care for, but stylish enough to wear with a suit.

French crops are one of our favorite recent styles, and are kind of like a crew cut that gestures toward bangs without actually being bangs. It’s edgy but simple, and looks like you put a lot of thought into your style without actually doing too much.

Faux hawks are iconic, and as time passes, they’ve become more mature while still keeping their cutting-edge look. They’re interesting, in-style, and we hope they never leave.

Curtains are the iconic look rocked by heartthrobs like Brad Pitt and Keanu Reeves in their younger days. They scream “loverboy” without being too pretty or put-together.

Wolf cuts are the edgy, more dangerous cousin of curtains, and are exactly what they sound like: shaggy, medium-length hair that offers a whole lot of texture and freedom.

Tapers are a catch-all term for hair that shortens to skin down low, and include things like fades, broccoli cuts, and undercuts. They’re incredibly versatile, and seem to be the signature look of the 2020s.
