Trendy Life by Felicitas
No one said that staying on top of the latest trends has to look gaudy or kitschy. Here, you’ll find inspiration from haircuts, styles, and colors that are perfectly in step with contemporary trends, yet can easily double for casual or even sophisticated daytime looks.
If you're bored of your current straight-laced look but aren’t ready to cut off all your hair or dye it a bold punk or emo color, we’ve got the perfect solution. These styles incorporate trendy colors, the latest techniques, and versatile ways to style similar haircuts.
Long On-Trend Hairstyle
This is the look to aim for if you love staying on trend but hate spending hours on your hair each morning—not to mention loads of money. The long, connected layers and bangs are super easy to maintain and never seem to go out of style.
This trademark hairstyle is sported by Alexa Chung and other celebrities who prefer taking the world by storm rather than sitting in front of the vanity mirror for hours. It's also great for women with fine, high-density hair.
The dark ash-blonde base, lightened slightly with highlights, works wonders with the model's natural hair color and complexion, enhancing the movement and texture of her hair.
Lob with Large Curls
Timeless beauties like Anne Hathaway and Chloe Moretz often sport this exact hairstyle. The model’s hair is cut into a lob (long bob) with connected layers, thinned at the tips for maximum texture. Styled into large curls combed out with a boar-bristle brush, it creates those gorgeous waves.
This is an ideal hairstyle for someone with naturally wavy or slightly curly hair, especially if it's thick. The model's pale complexion is enhanced by her fiery medium red-copper hair color, complemented perfectly by a rose-orange lipstick and minimal eye makeup, emphasizing her darkened eyebrows. The overall look exudes understated elegance and confidence—definitely a style to aspire to.
Short Bob with Ragged Bangs
This edgy look has taken center stage at major hairstyling houses like L’Oréal and Schwarzkopf. The immaculately structured, slightly A-line bob is beautifully highlighted by the medium plum hair color, accented with slices of intense red. The color contrasts sharply with the model's fair complexion, drawing attention to the haircut’s lines and structure.
Bob with Colored Extensions
Similar to the previous look, this one features vivid purple extensions razored in the front for a bold, edgy effect. This style has long been a favorite in the underground art and punk-rock scene, beloved by young hairdressers, models, and celebrities. Fashion houses like House of Holland, Vivienne Westwood, and Alexander McQueen often showcase these hairstyles on their catwalks.
To replicate this look, add colored hair extensions to your choppy bob and razor them for that edgy finish. Purple works beautifully with the dark plum and red base, but vivid red or canary yellow can also work. Keep your makeup simple—this hairstyle is meant to be the focal point.
Contemporary Pixie Cut
The model’s pixie cut is enjoying the limelight for its trendiness, versatility, and easy maintenance. This short style proves that an edgy, contemporary look can still be sophisticated and polished.
Her hair is cut into a neat pixie style with an exaggerated fringe razored diagonally across her face. The clean-cut hairline around her ear and forehead creates a refined, corporate-ready look when styled sleekly.
The model's medium brown hair has been colored to a rich nut-brown base with golden undertones, while light golden blonde highlights in the bangs add polish and youthfulness to her look.
Edgy Pixie Cut with Curls
This is where the magic of hairdressing comes into play. Stylists can transform a sophisticated, demure look into an intense, edgy style using only a curling iron and hairspray. The same hairstyle and model s in the previous image now show a daring, playful side.
The short, structured sides contrast beautifully with the model's peaches-and-cream complexion, while the longer top and bangs have been curled into bouncy waves that cascade diagonally across her forehead.
The look feels spirited and enigmatic, with curls falling mysteriously over one eye. The peach-colored lipstick and blush enhance the model’s natural beauty, while the hairstyle remains the focal point.
