Ask anyone about the biggest hair trends of the season, and I guarantee that they will mention the bob hairstyle. Yes, this short hair trend is still proving incredibly popular, and I can totally see why. That being said, I’m not looking to chop off my lengths this summer, so when I noticed a slightly longer hair trend cropping up on social media, I was immediately intrigued.
No, I’m not saying bobs are over, but it seems that lots of stylish people are opting for shoulder-length hairstyles this season. In particular, layered shoulder-length hairstyles.
I know that layers are nothing new (in fact, long layered bobs have been in style for a while), but when paired with this chic hair length, you are left with a sophisticated style that is full of volume and bounce. It’s giving me all of the ‘90s supermodel vibes, and after looking at pictures, I’m ready to give this trend a go this summer. If you’re also thinking about refreshing your look but don’t want something too dramatic, I highly recommend you keep on scrolling. Below, I’ve rounded up some of the most stunning shoulder-length, layered hairstyles that will likely have you running to your local salon. If shoulder-length hair still feels a little short, don’t forget to check out our guide to the best medium-length layered haircuts, too.
