How To Choose The Right Haircut For Your Face Shape

Haircuts For Oval Faces

Seen as the genetic jackpot for women, an oval may not be the most alpha of face shapes for
men, but it’s a good canvas for experimentation. Symmetrical and well-proportioned, an oval
face shape does pretty much any hairstyle justice, so—you lucky boy—the choice is very much
yours.

That said, there are a couple of minor caveats to ensure you optimise your ovalness. “The trick
with an oval face shape is to wear your hair off the forehead to create some volume and angles
on top,” says Aveda master barber Stelios Nicolaou. “The most suitable style is a classic short
back and sides and slightly longer on the top, with a side-swept parting.”

You’ll also want to avoid a forward fringe. “Too much heaviness on the forehead softens features
and increases roundness of the face,” says celebrity hairstylist Jamie Stevens.

And feel free to ditch the beard, says Ruffians creative director Denis Robinson. “You don’t
need facial hair to fill out any disproportionate gaps in this case, so feel free to go clean-shaven.”

Haircuts For Square Faces

Considered the masculine ideal, a square face shape is characterised by a razor sharp jawline,
even proportions and an overall chiselled appearance. Grrr.

Like the oval, it’s a great foundation for most styles and is versatile enough to work with both
extremely short and longer hairstyles—from buzz cuts to French crops to quiffs. Just bear in
mind that the shorter you go, the more you look like you’ve just been conscripted. Not that that
won’t serve you well.

“Classic, neat haircuts complement a square shape best—think close fades, side partings and
short layers,” says Stevens. Some light stubble also gives the sharpness of your jawline a little
welcome texture without blurring its line.

Haircuts For Rectangle Faces

The longest of the face shapes, a rectangular face falls somewhere between an oval and a square,
but requires a subtly tweaked hairstyle to ensure the face doesn’t appear even longer than it is.

“Because a rectangular face looks longer, it’s important to avoid taking the sides too short if
keeping length on the top, as this would only accentuate the length of the face,” explains
Nicolaou. “Try a well-proportioned style that doesn’t take the sides too short or leave too much
length on top.”

Taking that advice, try a style that lets the hair fall to the sides and/or across the forehead to add
width and ensure your face doesn’t appear narrower than it is.
Finally, never pair with a Duck Dynasty beard, says Robinson. “A full beard only elongates the
face, so instead try facial hair that ranges in length from stubble to a short beard to fill out any
gaps.”

Haircuts For Round Faces

Circular with a rounded chin and no obvious lines or angles, a round face shape benefits from a
haircut that lends it some definition.

“If you’ve got a round face shape, think square,” says Stevens. “Since round faces have little in
the way of natural angles, you need to create the illusion of structure with your hair. A style with
height on the top that’s taken tight at the sides such as a pompadour or a flat top works well to
add structure, as do front fringes.”

“Square corners in the high recession area of your hair will sharpen up any soft edges,” adds
Robinson. “A full square beard will also help thin the chin area, giving the appearance of a more
chiselled jaw.”

Haircuts For Diamond Faces

Narrow in the chin and brow, with width in the cheeks, the diamond is one of the rarer face
shapes. Because of that, it has some specialist requirements to ensure it looks its namesake.

“Hairstyles that add width at the forehead and chin area are your best bet,” says Stevens.
“Fringes work well to add texture to the forehead, while longer styles that can be tucked behind
the ears are great for accentuating a diamond shape’s bone structure.”

Don’t, however, take the sides too short—given the width of the cheekbones, a hairstyle that’s
particularly short at the sides will only make your ears look bigger.

Softer lines and layers are better for this face shape, working to soften its natural angles. Try a
side sweep or deep side-parting, and consider growing a 5 o’clock shadow if you want to add
some size to a narrower chin.

Haircuts For Heart-Shaped Faces

Wide at the temples and hairline, gradually narrowing to a point at the chin, the (fairly rare)
heart face shape benefits from a few optical illusions to make it appear better proportioned.

“Avoid cuts that are very tight, as these will accentuate the narrowness of the chin and the width
of the forehead,” says Stevens. “A medium-length swept look is the safest bet.” Mid-length
and long hairstyles that are kept reasonably thin and light soften the heart shape’s strong
forehead.

Facial hair is also key in this case, adding some much-needed bulk to a narrow chin and jawline,
says Robinson. “As with the diamond face shape, a beard helps a heart shape gain fullness in the
lower, narrower half of the head.”
Haircuts For Triangle Faces

Due to its narrow forehead and wide jawline, a triangular face requires the opposite treatment of
a heart shape.

“A style with volume is king with this one,” says Stevens. “Opt for longer, nose-length haircuts
with fuller sides, which work to add depth.”

As for the beard, the most you’ll look good with is some light stubble. But really, given the
prominence of the jawline in this case, it’s best to steer clean-shaven. Grab the razor, fellas.

Cold feet are a fact of winter, as reliable as dark mornings and drunken Decembers. The shoes
you wear the rest of the year round – perforated trainers that let the chill in and low-rise shoes
that let the rain in – don’t cut it in the worst of the weather. You need some winter boots and not
just one pair, preferably two or three.

This is footwear originally designed for timber yards, hiking trails and the trenches of war; so
you can be confident it will get you through a slightly frosty commute. In style, too, because the
best winter boots are as good looking as they are practical.

Don't step a foot outside without these

Cold feet are a fact of winter, as reliable as dark mornings and drunken Decembers. The shoes
you wear the rest of the year round – perforated trainers that let the chill in and low-rise shoes
that let the rain in – don’t cut it in the worst of the weather. You need some winter boots and not
just one pair, preferably two or three.

This is footwear originally designed for timber yards, hiking trails and the trenches of war; so
you can be confident it will get you through a slightly frosty commute. In style, too, because the
best winter boots are as good looking as they are practical.

Fashion has a thing for technical clothing of all kinds right now (hiking style and workwear are
trends that won’t quit), but it’s always been happy to appropriate boots – from soldiers,
mountaineers, riders and blue-collar workers. Those boots have the attributes all boots should
have: durability, practicality, comfort and weatherproofing.

And despite those chunky soles and unforgiving leathers, winter boots are some of the most
versatile shoes you can buy. Invest in the right pair and they’ll last decades if you look after them
as much as they do you. So, best foot forward. Find the style that suits you best below, along
with the go-to ways of wearing them.
