Summer is the perfect time for a fresh start—and nothing revamps your image quite like a new haircut. Whether you’re prepping for a job interview, date night, or just ready to ditch your usual cut, the biggest men’s hair trends of 2025 offer something for every style and personality. From daring lengths to classic structure, this year’s haircuts are all about bold self-expression and tailored refinement.
One of the standout trends this year isn’t even on your scalp—it’s your beard. After years of minimalist stubble, the full beard is back and bolder than ever. It’s grown out, a little rough around the edges, and often paired with short, sharp hair for contrast. Think Andrew Garfield or Jamie Dornan: effortlessly rugged and undeniably stylish. This move toward bulkier facial hair is redefining masculine grooming in 2025.
On the other end of the spectrum, if you’re embracing your natural texture, the clean grow-out is your go-to. Whether you have curls or waves, growing your hair long while keeping it neatly outlined (like The Weeknd’s textured curls) is all the rage. It’s sharp but relaxed—a polished yet low-maintenance look that works especially well for those with Afro-textured hair.
The nostalgia wave is still going strong, with iconic ’90s styles making big returns. The center part—popularized anew by Cillian Murphy—is back with a twist: more texture, more layers, and a looser feel. And if you’re really channeling your inner heartthrob, the curtain bangs are back too. Think Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic or Hugh Grant in Notting Hill. This “old money” hairstyle is naturally grown out, styled with clean edges and plenty of flow.
Speaking of retro, the mod-inspired cut—a softer, modern take on the Britpop look—is resurging thanks to the much-hyped Oasis reunion. This version is all about subtle details: softer sideburns, gentler necklines, and a lightly textured fringe. For something edgier, the Edgar cut is taking over. Originating from Indigenous Mexican style, it features a blunt fringe and bold bowl shape. While it’s not for everyone, it’s one of the most attention-grabbing men’s hairstyles of the year.
Then there’s the baby mullet, seen on stars like Paul Mescal, which brings that edgy ‘80s energy in a much more wearable way. Short sides, soft sideburns, a touch of length in the back—it’s rebellious, but refined. If you’re feeling even more experimental, the rat tail is having a surprise moment. Popularized unexpectedly by Matt Smith, it’s playful, quirky, and quickly becoming a staple in avant-garde men’s grooming.
Color is also making a serious comeback. If you’re into transformation, consider the boldest look of 2025: dyed hair. Bright, daring shades are in, and stars like Evan Mock have proven just how cool it can be to switch it up constantly. Barbie pink, platinum blonde, or jet black—it’s all fair game.
For those leaning toward something more timeless, you can’t go wrong with the rock ‘n’ roller vibe. Think layered, textured cuts inspired by the likes of Mick Jagger and Joe Keery—styles
that look effortlessly cool with a bit of mousse or salt spray. If that’s still too wild for you, the short-as-possible scissor cut is the answer. Slightly longer than a buzz cut, this all-over style offers softness and ease while still keeping things clean and stylish. It’s a favorite of guys like Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds.
For structure lovers, the side part is a sleek, polished choice. This classic cut, dating back to old Hollywood, is back in rotation on the runways of Paris and Milan. With a comb, some pomade, and Henry Cavill as your reference, it’s a surefire way to look sharp and sophisticated.
Finally, the tailored buzz cut is one of the best low-maintenance hairstyles for men in 2025. It’s a refined take on the military-inspired classic, often featuring a slightly longer top and tapered sides. Austin Butler and Zayn Malik have embraced it, and if you’re aiming for a bold yet clean look, this is the move.
This year’s men’s hair trends are about freedom—freedom to experiment, to embrace nostalgia, and to make every cut feel custom. So before you sit in the barber chair and ask for “the usual,” take a moment to explore what your hair could say about you. Whether you go full mod or simply tweak your fade, 2025 is your year to own the cut—and the confidence that comes with it.
