5 Cool Bob Haircuts Taking Over This Autumn

If you’re planning a fresh chop for the autumn season, we’ve got great news: London Fashion Week attendees delivered plenty of inspiration to help guide your next salon appointment.

From retro, baby fringes to accompany a short crop to effortless, boyish bobs, the mood for autumn is laid-back and cool, but with plenty of whimsy and individuality. It’s all about tailoring your cut to express your personality and style. Ahead, five of the coolest bob trends dominating London right now.

The micro bangs

Ultra-short baby bangs can be high maintenance, but there’s no denying the impact they make on your overall style. Team a short, earlobe-grazing bob with a micro fringe for a cool-girl edge and instant drama.

The side-parted bob

A short haircut that spotlights your natural hair texture—whatever that may look like—will always feel timeless and elegant. Try it with a new side-parting for extra volume and an insouciant feel.

The sporty bob

Go down the lived-in, effortless route with a cool, “boyfriend” bob that’s chopped to ear length or worn gently pushed back. It brings out your facial features, feels unfussy yet polished, and makes a real impact.

The preppy bob

Flipped ends continue to have a major moment. They’re refined and sophisticated with a sense of whimsy, which makes it a firm favorite for the fashion set.

The razor bob

Keep things sharp and precise with a razor bob that makes a statement with minimal styling.
