Men’s short haircuts are dapper and sophisticated, perfect for special events and sophisticated attire. To achieve a personalized style, they can be combined with fades in low, skin, or taper variations and other hair designs, like line-ups.
For an eye-catching and striking style, opt for a disconnected pompadour or tapered quiff – both types are easy to maintain and suit a wide range of facial structures.
High and Tight
This military-inspired high and tight haircut is an iconic men’s style that can make anyone appear tough. Similar to a breeze cut, this look works best on thick hair. Style this cut using gel or pomade to achieve a sleek and sleek finish.
This high and tight haircut is ideal for the modern male looking to be both stylish and masculine. Combining barbershop fade with a short top section creates an eye-catching style that can be worn with a widow’s peak and thick soul patch or kept short and tidy for a more rugged aesthetic.
This wash-and-wear haircut will suit any face shape. Use some hair gel to smooth the top section back.
Crew Cut
Short crew cuts are ideal for thin hair and can help disguise any signs of balding patches while also looking superb when combined with side parts and taper fades for an elegant business or casual day look. They are ideal when used alongside a side part and taper fade for everyday simple use or special events like sporting events.
An alternative variation of this style is a textured crew cut. This allows for a casual, messy ‘I just rolled out of bed’ look while exuding effortless cool. Pair this look with low to mid fades and high-hold products like GATSBY Dressing Pomade Classical Tight for best results; either comb-comb or spike up your top layers for an edgier vibe; adding this variation can also make your hair appear fuller and healthier than before, so it’s worth giving it a try!
Buzz Cut
A buzz cut is one of the most accessible variations on short men’s hairstyles, exuding confidence and masculinity – perfect for men with prominent features such as solid cheekbones or jawlines. Additionally, this minimal style will only draw necessary attention to receding hairlines or widow’s peaks that could otherwise attract unwanted attention.
Temple fade is an increasingly popular variation on the buzz cut style, combining short sides and back of a buzz cut with a higher taper that begins near the temples for an overall balanced look. Actor Wentworth Miller has long been a fan of this look which pairs perfectly with his chiseled features and brown eyes.
Taper Fade
Men who prefer wearing their hair in a textured crop style can make their style even more striking by adding a low taper fade. This slick back style bridges the gap between professional and casual environments, letting a full beard or stubble take center stage.
The low taper can be incredibly flattering on thin hair. Starting right above your ears, this style gradually gets shorter as it nears your hairline – creating an organized appearance and making it simple for longer locks on top to grow naturally.
A wavy pompadour is another effective way to display your sophisticated aesthetic. For added sophistication, add a low taper fade before combing back for an appealing result.
Fringe
Fringe (also called bangs) refers to short strands of hair that fall onto the forehead and frame your face, preparing your features with elegance. A neat fringe complements crew cuts, and buzz cuts beautifully; for something edgier, ask your barber to create an angular quiff style from short fringe strands.
A textured fringe can make any man look effortless yet sophisticated, especially those with curly or wavy locks. Additionally, this look works great for men with diamond or oval face shapes as it adds definition to their jawline.
Slick back or brush forward your fringe for this effortless style – one of the easiest and quickest ways to look good without hassle or upkeep!
