A CUT ABOVE THE REST Award-winning men’s hairdresser Jim Shaw shares the latest styling trends for grooms-to-be Jim Shaw is an award-winning men’s hairdresser who has years of experience helping clients create the perfect look. We asked Jim to share his comments on the latest cuts and styling trends for grooms-to-be. Tight fade: For men looking for a cleanerlooking haircut for the new season, the tight fade is a great option. This haircut looks best when worn shaved or super short on the sides with more length on top but kept relatively short for a lower maintenance look. This look takes inspiration from the military and is super trendy, but it will require regular visits to the salon to ensure the cut is kept fresh and looking its best. Buzz cut: The buzz cut has been trending for some time and it’s not going anywhere! For those feeling adventurous and looking to ‘reset’ their hair for summer, this is a great choice. Although it’s a simple cut, it looks incredibly cool, clean and is extremely low-maintenance. Curtains: Curtains are back for 2024, but instead of being smooth and sleek, we will see curtains being paired with texture and waves for a contemporary take on the trend. Timothée Chalamet is one of the many celebrities that have been sporting this look and pulling it off incredibly! Mullets: Many celebrities have been sporting mullet cuts and the trend is booming as we head into the warmer months, with men looking for a more modern take on the style. For 2024, the style will still have its signature length at the back; however, the sides will be worn slightly shorter and the whole look will appear softer with lots of added texture on top. Partings: For men looking to slightly change up their look without opting for a drastic cut, a parting is a good choice and both side and middle partings are back for summer 2024. The side parting is perfect for those who want to add some volume to their look and who are looking for a style that looks formal and sophisticated. The middle parting is ideal for all hair types: straight, textured and curly, and is a great way to enhance your current look. Both side and middle partings have been all over the red carpet and runways and will be a reoccurring trend through the warmer months and into autumn and winter 2024.
