Classic Haircuts That Will Never Go Out of Style
With ever-changing fads, keeping up with the latest style can be exhausting. One day check is in,
the next day it's out. The same goes for hairstyles, but unfortunately, your hair often isn't as easy
to change as your shirt. The good news, though, is that some things never go out of style: a white
Oxford shirt, a well-aged whisky, a classic car.
Much like these timeless classics, there are certain hairstyles that will never go out of style. We've
asked five of London's top barbers to give us their picks for hairstyles that will never go out of
fashion. With a wide range of looks, you're bound to find one that suits you and can feel confident
that you'll look sharp for years to come.
The Classic Side Part
A staple in every barbershop around the world since the turn of the 20th century, this hairstyle has
never grown old. From the slick Hollywood glamour of the 1920s to the 1940s, then through the
rise of rock ‘n’ roll with the 1950s pompadour, right up to the catwalks of 2015, this look is here to
stay.
Ask Your Barber:
There have been many variants on this theme, which means it can be tailored to suit the zeitgeist
of the day. Ask for length on the sides and slick flat with a shine pomade to get the more classic
look. If you want the modern update, get a looser cut, with height at the front and a bald fade on
the back and sides.
How to Style
By playing with variations of length it can make a younger man look older and make the older
gentleman look younger. It works with most hair types, from curly to poker straight. Not a single
day has gone by in the barbershop without me being asked for this all time great.
