Saying goodbye to winter is easier with a new hairstyle, and the top trends for men’s coiffs in Spring 2008 are a combination of both classic and fashion-forward looks. The tousled look is back this season, a great match for naturally curly hair and gents who prefer something casual and laid back. Still, the super-slick look reigned on the runways of New York Fashion Week ’07, and is one of the strongest trends that will likely stick around through Fall. If you’re looking for a fresh new look for Spring, here are the top men’s hairstyle trends for the season, fresh from the runway:
Men’s Hairstyle Trend: High Volume and Spiked
Alexander McQueen’s collection at Fashion Week turned a few heads with polka dot pants and retro-inspired suiting. Still, it was the hair that proved to be a real head-turner; the fluffed up look was achieved with diffuser hairdryers, volumizing mousse, and just a touch of hairspray. Ramp up the volume and extend hair upward to create this amplified look, then touch up the ends with gel or mousse to define a few spikes.
Men’s Hairstyle Trend: Classic Sidesweep
The ever-conservative sidesweep is a classic look fit for almost all face shapes and hair colors, and Spring calls for an extra emphasis of the part. Use pomade to smooth out the hair lock it in place with hair spray. Dior presented a few models sporting this style at Fashion Week, and it’s a great look for days at the office or when you want to dress to impress at a special occasion.
Men’s Hairstyle Trend: Distressed and Tousled
Go for an urban European look with distressed tresses pulled together with gel and pomade. The tousled look is a top trend this Spring, with influences from designers Band of Outsiders and John Varvatos from Fashion Week. The best way to wear it is with a slight side part and matting down the hair on each side of the head.
Men’s Hairstyle Trend: Super Slick
Try an super-clean cut look with pomade, Brylcreem, or extra-hold gel. The super slick look is a popular style this Spring, especially when paired with a crisp suit or ‘preppy’ outfit. This style was a top choice for Armani at Fashion Week, and is a great choice for both business and play.
Men’s Hairstyle Trend: Page Boy Inspiration
Go for a variation of the classic page boy haircut with a chin-length cut for the longest layer, brushed to the side to create a side part. The style is a classic look with bangs and layers, and showed up on the runway of designers Roberto Cavalli, Costume National, and Dolce & Gabbana.
From the classic sidesweep to a tousled page boy look, there are plenty of ways to update your hairstyle to follow some of this season’s top trends!
