Spring Hair 2010
The most visible hairstyle for men on the catwalks this year is a variation of the rockabilly quiff. An ever-present style through the years, the quiff suits most gents, even those not deemed aesthetically suitable for the catwalk.
The most extreme quiffs are replicas of the big, extravagant, rolled curls sported by the teddy boys of the 1950s – probably not suitable for the City, but certainly popular around Shoreditch and other areas of east London.This was on display on the Milanese catwalks last month, with Jil Sander and Bottega Venetta showcasing a Fifties look that is more teddy-boy than all-American boy; we’re talking big hair and a bit more attitude with your tweed blazer.
Of course, a more minimal is out there for the less stylistically-revolutionary – just towel dry hair, apply a strong product, twist forward and place down to one side – no need for anything too fancy at all.
And more classical styles endure, such as the clean, crisp quiffs and partings of the Rat-pack’s heyday, demonstrating the continuing sartorial impact of Mad Men. The return to shorter styles is certainly beneficial for us barbers, as it means more frequent haircuts, but it also allows men to relax into relatively unfussy, traditional cuts that give off the right amount of masculine confidence.
