Get inspired by timeless, high-class haircuts that will show off your face shape like never before
If you’ve ever thought that traditional haircuts can be somewhat dull or boring, well, we are here to tell you otherwise. While the latest styles are all about looking bold and grabbing attention; classic cuts, in contrast, are more subtle and refined in looks.
They charm you with their sophistication and quiet but potent sex appeal, which is why they always command a greater deal of respect from men and women alike compared to modern styles.
Right now, the trick with the trending good looks is to secretly play off the classics. However, even with that, classic hairstyles often come out tops because of their long-standing heritage and perpetual stylishness. That is why you will always see old-school styles popping back into fashion almost every year.
For this same reason, we did some digging and bring forth 5 completely timeless and barber approved classic hairstyles that will give you the coolest signature look you’ve ever had.
5 Best Classic Cuts and the Face Shape They Fit Best
The Buzz Cut
This military haircut boasts of a simplicity very few haircuts can lay claim to. There’s also the added advantage that they’re low maintenance and you can perform this cut on yourself at home (but you may need a little practice!)
In terms of which face shape they match best, they go with most face shapes except very round faces. But if you’re blessed with a nice sculpted face, this timeless cut will fit you like a match made in heaven.
The Ivy League Haircut
If you’re looking for the ultimate, subtly sexy, business professional cut, look no further than the Ivy League hairstyle. To avoid confusion, this style also goes by the name Princeton or Harvard Clip and it works best for oval and round face shape.
The Pompadour
It is not so surprising that for many decades now, the Pompadour has remained one of the highly demanded haircuts at barber shops. The style is as slick and smooth as it is sophisticated and suave.
To successfully rock this classic, your hair needs some degree of thickness. Pompadour styles do justice to many face shapes especially round, triangle and oval shapes.
The Side Parting
The side parting has been around since the 1920s. It is a versatile style that matches any situation and also suits most face shapes and hair types.
The side parting is fairly simple to maintain, but it requires at least one trip to the hairdresser every month to keep it looking sharp and suave.
The French Crop
The French Crop is much favored by men who love a minimalist but stylish look. It is a good choice for men with rectangle faces as it draws attention from the long face. Other face structures like diamond and oval can also handle this elegant cut.
