2014s Key Men’s Hairstyle Trend

Introduction

We haven’t seen many new trends or dramatic changes within men’s hair over the past few years. Hairstyles have been tweaked here and there but overall, classic cuts have been in fashion for a while now.
Last season the 1990s-inspired look was everywhere – it seems fashion and hair has got a bit of its edge back. This is further emphasised by the fact that a large proportion of men are now sporting exaggerated hairstyles with extremely short and tight sides with longer, often disconnected, length through the top.
So, what’s going to be the ‘next big thing’ in men’s hair?

The Key Hairstyle For 2014

After reviewing the SS14 catwalk presentations from recent global fashion weeks, it seems as though there is going to be a new go-to cut come spring/summer 2014 – and I truly believe it’s going to develop into a HUGE hair trend.
Everyone from Burberry Prorsum to Christopher Kane sent models down the runways sporting this new ‘do’, whilst the likes of Topman Design and Duckie Brown gave us a glimpse at the more exaggerated and edgy ways you could choose to style the cut:

What Is This Haircut & How Will It Be Worn?

With the rise of the quiff and traditional, masculine hairstyles, the majority of men have been wearing their hair to the side or pushed back for a few years now. However, soon it’s going to be all about the fringe.
I first noticed this change in approach during the Topman Design collection for the current AW13 season. This particular showcase can be viewed as the birth or beginning of this new cut, complete with a shorter fringe – which gets longer as we move into spring/summer 2014.
Guys will continue to have the back and sides short and sharp. It can be created with a lower fade, which will allow movement within the haircut, whilst the crown area will stay relatively short to enhance the length at the front. The hair is kept heavier and longer towards the front, and will need to be cut into in order to take some of the weight out.
There are a variety of ways you can wear this haircut. Some men prefer a more classic and balanced look, whilst I personally love the more extreme ways of cutting and styling it, such as when the back and sides are kept really tight and taken high into the crown. The length that’s maintained through the front will also make a huge difference to the overall look of the style.
Finally, this hairstyle is a great option for guys who are receding around the front hairline as it can cover up your problem area in a natural way, instead of looking as though you are purposely trying to hide it.

Lookbook Examples

Adding Some Colour

Adding colour to this hairstyle would really enhance the front section of the cut. Avoid going too stark with bleach unless your hair is already fairly light.
I would suggest having some highlights in foils or done freehand. Try going a few shades lighter – the amount of colour comes down to personal preference, so either opt for chunky pieces or leave a slight root and simply lighten up the ends.
