The One Hair Trend That Boomers and Millennials Actually Agree On

Perhaps one of the best-known bobs, here is Anna Wintour, a Boomer, in her signature cut. Complete with full fringe and rounded ends that hug her face, Wintour has been wearing this style for decades, proving it has staying power.

Wintour’s sleek, rounded bob is definitely more of a statement look that can be trickier to style day in and day out, which is why we’re fans of Kerry’s beachier cut. With choppy ends and a tousled wave throughout, this bob feels a bit fresher and is more accessible to different hair textures.

If you have finer hair that won’t hold a curl to save its life, we’d recommend a single-length bob with blunt ends like Greta’s here to create more body throughout. Hitting at just under the chin with slightly angled ends, the cut is elegant with a little edge (much like the wearer).

The latest bob to create buzz is none other than Florence Pugh’s “Italian Bob” aka “The Boyfriend Bob,” which has taken both Instagram and TikTok by storm this summer. As Austin Burns, a stylist at Mirror Mirror Salon in Austin, Texas shares, “Ask your stylist to snip in some interior layers to add separation and keep the shape from becoming too round.”

In sum, yesterday’s shag might become today’s jellyfish cut, but the bob—in all its variations—is forever more.
