Gentlemen, your haircut is the basis of your style. A fresh trim can instantly boost your confidence and make a statement. As we make our way through 2025, the trends in men’s hairstyling are bolder and more diverse than ever. Whether you’re a classic gent or a trendsetter, there’s a cut out there waiting to level up your look. At Chaps & Co., we’re dedicated to keeping you ahead of the curve. So, ditch the outdated and embrace the new with these hairstyles.
1. The Skin Fade Pompadour
Combining two classics doesn’t always work, but with the skin fade and the pompadour, you’re onto a winner. Giving the pompadour a modern upgrade with the addition of a skin fade creates an entirely new look. This high-contrast style combines the classic volume and shape of a pompadour, a style popularised decades ago by the likes of Elvis Presley, with the sharp, clean lines of a skin fade, a pillar of modern barbering. The result is a look that’s both sophisticated and edgy.
Styling this Look
- Use a strong hold product such as wax to hold your pomp in place and maintain its height.
- Apply your chosen product to towel-dried hair, then use a round brush and hairdryer to create volume and lift. Slick the sides back with a comb for a striking finish.
2. The Bro Flow with Added Hard Part
The endlessly cool bro flow remains a favourite but with a refined twist. This style channels the laid-back surfer vibes of the 90s and early 2000s, but the addition of a hard part – a shaved line that creates a distinct separation in the hair – gives this style a touch of definition inspired by classic barbering.
Styling this Look
- A sea salt spray will add texture and volume while maintaining a natural look.
- Apply the sea salt spray to damp hair and allow it to air dry or use a diffuser. Use your fingers to create a natural parting and sweep the hair back.
3. The Textured Quiff with Undercut
The modern style is another example of bringing together two great looks and making one. Combining the volume and texture of a quiff with the sharp definition of an undercut creates something bold and new for 2025. Drawing inspiration from the rockabilly hairstyles of the 50s and the contemporary edge of the undercut, this is a statement look for those who are more than happy to stand out.
Styling this Look
- A matte clay or paste will provide hold and texture without looking greasy.
- Work a small amount of product through damp hair and style the quiff upwards and slightly back, creating texture with your fingers.
4. The Long Slick Back and Fade
If you’ve got longer hair and want to keep it that way, considering ways to style it is your best bet. The slick back has been popular for a few years now and it works well with longer hair. The modern addition of a low fade is ideal for upgrading your look for the new year whilst keeping the length you love.
Styling this Look
- A high-shine cream-based product will give you the sleek, polished finish needed for this classic style.
- Apply the product to damp hair and comb it back from your forehead. Use a hairdryer to create extra volume and hold.
5. The Short Crop with Fringe
If you want a striking look which is also easy to manage and super-low maintenance a crop is a great choice. A short crop with a textured fringe is effortlessly stylish and easy to manage. The tousled look means you can get away with very little styling if you feel like skipping a day.
Styling this Look
- A light-hold cream will add definition and control without weighing your hair down.
- Apply a small amount of the cream to damp hair and style the fringe forward, creating texture with your fingers.
6. The Modern Bowl Cut
Yes, you read that right. The bowl cut is back but with a seriously stylish upgrade. This reimagined version features a softer, more textured approach, with a focus on creating a rounded shape with subtle layering. Think less 90s child and more high-fashion runway. It’s a seriously bold move but if you’re feeling something totally different, this could be the look for you.
Styling this Look
- A texturising spray or light-hold cream will add definition and movement.
- Apply your spray to damp hair and style with your fingers, creating a slightly tousled look.
