As the year comes to an end, we’re flooded with articles and ideas about female hair trends, which is always exciting to see! However, that leaves some of our male customers wondering about male hair trends – especially if they were considering a change.

What I hear from the men in my life when it comes to changing their haircut usually boils down to two things: reluctance to change the haircut they’ve had for years and uncertainty about whether they have the confidence to pull off a new look.

I’m here to tell you: changing your haircut is a good thing, as it helps you step out of your comfort zone and feel better in your own skin. And regarding the confidence, let’s put it this way – the haircut itself can be the confidence boost you need!

Here at Hello Gorgeous salon Naples we believe in great hairstyles for everyone, and I’m here to tell you exactly what’s hot for 2025 and what are some things to consider before taking the leap and booking your appointment.

So, without further ado, let’s dive into the hottest men’s hair trends for 2025!

Old Money Haircut

I’m sure you’ve seen a variation of this haircut all around you, and it’s no wonder as it’s a super flattering look on everyone!

The old money haircut is a broad term that covers many different haircuts. However, what they all have in common is an elevated, distinguished look that will certainly make you stand out.

It’s perfect for you if you’re someone who prefers a classic, timeless look. If that’s the case, I always suggest a classic side part.

This haircut originated in the 1920s and was quickly popularized by some of the iconic old Hollywood actors such as Cary Grant and Clark Gable.

It works best for men with medium to fine hair and it requires regular visits to the hairstylist (at least every 3-4 weeks for the best results).

But what if you like the old money aesthetic but want something more laid-back and “effortlessly cool”? In that case a middle part with a messy fringe is the right choice!

Think of Leonardo Di Caprio’s haircut in the ‘90s – it was charming, memorable and casually chic. If this sounds good and you’re willing to put some extra effort – you may have found your perfect haircut for 2025!

But what if you like the messy fringe haircut but you don’t really see yourself rocking a middle part?

I’m here with an amazing suggestion that will be a head-turner for sure! Do me a favor and google “flow hairstyle male”. Looks amazing, doesn’t it?

This haircut is simple yet timeless, and the best part is that it doesn’t require frequent visits to the hair salon.

Taper Fade

Some men prefer a clean, sharp haircut, and we love to see it! Nothing says “polished and put together” like a fresh haircut.

If this is something you can relate to, allow me to present a haircut that has gained quite a lot of popularity as we approach the end of the year: the taper fade haircut.

The taper fade haircut is going to be hot and trendy in 2025, but what exactly is it?

This haircut is much more subtle than the classic fade, offering a gradual length change compared to a sharp transition of a classic fade.

This look is amazing whether you have straight, wavy or curly hair, as it provides dimension and texture.

However, keep in mind that this particular haircut does require frequent visits to the hair salon, although much less than the classic fade.

Modern Mullet

Before you think “no way” just hear me out! I know exactly what you’re imagining right now, and no, a modern mullet is not the same as the 80s mullet.

A modern mullet was popular in 2024 and I predict an even bigger popularity in 2025. But why does everyone like it so much?

For starters, it looks good, from the perspective of a hairstylist. The sides have a slight fade, while the top is longer and texturized, with just a bit of added length on the back (as opposed to whatever was happening back in the 80s).

This makes for a balanced, texturized haircut that gives your hair volume, and I think every man appreciates that.

So, if you’re going for that bold, fashion-forward look stars like Jacob Elordi were sporting throughout the year, give it a try!

I know it might seem dramatic, but it could truly make you feel like a rock star. And if you end up not loving it, you have plenty of hair to work with, so it’ll be easy to choose another haircut instead.

To Sum Up

Hair is a big part of your look, and you want it to look good, trust me, I get it. If you like your current haircut and you feel like you found your signature look – perfect!

However, if you’re unsure and want to switch it up, look into what makes sense for you and go for it!

Whether it’s something more classic like a side part or something more bold like a modern mullet, take the leap and it might just be the confidence boost you need!
