Hairstyles for Men: Casual Styles Trending for 2019

Hairstyles say a lot about your personality, and choosing the right style is about more than just looking great – although that’s important, too. Your hairstyle should fit into your lifestyle, with considerations for how much time it takes to style it, whether it fits with the look you want to convey, and how it looks with the clothes you choose every day. Here are some of the top casual men’s hairstyles for the second half of 2019. 

Fades. Of course, fades are at the top of the list for trending men’s hairstyles this year. What’s great about fades is that they can be easily personalized by varying the taper of the fade or by adding some extra finishing touches. High fades start far up on the sides and back, and low faces start toward the scalp starting closer to the ear. Many men who are just getting started with a fade cut start with the low fade, since it’s less dramatic yet still stylish. The other way to customize fades is by adding designs cut into the faded area, which truly personalizes the look with your own style.

Parts. A side part adds interest to your hairstyle and can be achieved whether your hair is long or very short. Even fades can have crisp, well aligned parts on the side leading into the fade. 

High tops. Styles with high tops and pompadours are still trending for 2019, so if you like your hair long on top, this is a great time to let your individual style shine through. 

Buzz. A well-formed buzz cut with sharp, clean edges not only looks stylish, but it’s also easy to care for – as long as you visit the barber regularly for touchups around the edges. 

Curls. For 2019, natural curls are trending, so if you’re fortunate to have curly hair, find a way to celebrate it with a cut that shows them off. Short or faded sides with longer, natural curls and twists on top makes a great casual style that also looks great at the office. Longer styles that let your curls and twists fall naturally are also in style this year.
