Whether you're prepping for a promotion or primping for a hot date, your hair is the billboard for your personality, so don’t let it scream “default settings.” If 2025 has taught us anything, it’s that the usual is getting benched. The hair industry is spilling over with fresh shapes, throwback vibes, and just enough movement to keep your barber excited. Here's what’s turning heads this year—short cuts, bold statements, and a whole lot of personality.
The Top Men's Haircuts for 2025
1. The Tailored Buzz
Forget the basic buzz—2025’s version has manners and muscles. Think military discipline meets red carpet charm. We're talking longer up top, faded neatness on the sides, and maybe even a cheeky taper around the neckline. Minimal styling, maximum style points. Basically, it’s the haircut that whispers, “Yeah, I woke up like this.”
Inspo: Austin Butler, Zayn Malik
Great for: Clean-cut lads with no time for fluff
2. The Clean Grow-Out
This one’s for the guys who survived lockdown hair and came out the other side looking hot. Grow it out, yes—but carefully. It’s all about tidy outlines, soft curls, and texture that says, “I do casual Friday better than you.” It’s low-effort meets high-impact.
Inspo: The Weeknd post-studio session
Great for: Curl kings and edge explorers
3. The Curtains 2.0
Think, Leo DiCaprio, but you pay your own taxes now. The ‘90s heartthrob haircut is back—but with adult responsibilities and better grooming products. It's soft, swept, and split down the middle. Great for showing off that symmetrical face of yours and earning at least three “Did you always have amazing hair?” comments a week.
Inspo: Grown-up Leo, Hugh Grant in Notting Hill
Great for: Floppy fringe fanatics and hopeless romantics
4. The Edgar
This is the bowl cut’s hot cousin. Straight out of history and trending on every cool-kid street corner, the Edgar is loud, blunt, and confident. Sharp fringe, clean sides, and a whole lot of don’t care what you think. It's not for everyone, but when it works—it works.
Inspo: Timothée Chalamet in a rebellious mood
Great for: Risk-takers, skaters, and statement-makers
5. The Short-As-Poss Anti-Buzz Buzz Cut
If you want to keep it cropped but not military-grade severe, the short-as-poss scissor cut is your guy. A little longer than a buzz, a lot more texture, and just enough “I tried” without going full styling serum every morning.
Inspo: Jake Gyllenhaal when he’s pretending he doesn’t know he’s hot
Great for: Guys who love clean lines but hate maintenance
6. The Baby Mullet
You thought the mullet was gone? Please. 2025’s version is shorter, subtler, and way sexier. The back whispers “rebellion,” while the top and sides keep it surprisingly wearable. It's mullet minimalism, and we’re very into it.
Inspo: Paul Mescal, but like, post-festival
Great for: Rockers, rule-breakers, and anyone who knows how to hold a beer and a gaze
7. TikTok Hair
A social media darling turned IRL essential. The TikTok sweep is big, bouncy, and usually paired with a tight fade or crop around the sides. It's voluminous, confident, and best served with a brooding glance and a chain.
Inspo: Noah Beck, Gen Z crush fuel
Great for: Flirtatious extroverts and soft boy CEOs
8. The Wall Street
You might not own a portfolio, but this Yuppie-core haircut can look like it does. Mid-length, slicked back, and layered just enough to say, “I brunch in Belgravia.” Inspired by the finance bros' day-off swagger, this one’s power-dressing for your scalp.
Inspo: Bradley Cooper with a spreadsheet
Great for: The well-moisturised ambitious type
