The most requested men’s hairstyle right now is messy bangs. Last year, every young male celeb was wearing the ‘90s “floppy hair” with a middle part. But from Jacob Elordi’s choppy mullet to Connor Storrie’s Cobain-inspired locks in Heated Rivalry, young men are now going for something even more deliberately undone and effortless. (Another hard switch up from 2010s fades and stiff partings.) The upcoming Beatles biopic is also helping accelerate the trend as Barry Keoghan, Paul Mescal, and Joseph Quinn have all trimmed their hair into iconic fringes for their roles. Even Superman got the treatment with this generation’s Clark Kent, who swapped the bookish, hairsprayed side-part for a curly mop. The vibe across the board is the same: looser, easygoing, and lived-in, with cuts designed to go months without upkeep. (GQ)
