An age old feud that has battled throughout the decades – which hair style is truly best, long or short? Of course it depends on individual preferences, such as personality and face shape, yet the catwalk trends are also influential in determining which hair styles come out trumps each season. From super straight long styles to funky short crops, the hair lengths battled it out again on the catwalks this season - discover the coolest ways in which to style the opposing lengths below:
Long hairA timeless length that appears season after season, it’s no surprise many designers favoured long hair this SS14. This year sees a move from OTT glamorous curls and volumised styles, towards super straight and sleek hair. Models at Alexander Wang sported dead straight locks with harsh centre partings for a futuristic and modern look. For a more relaxed style that still incorporates movement, mermaid waves and tousles were still seen at Versace, Diane von Furstenberg and Christopher Kane, minus the volume on top for a modern take on the boho style.
There are many benefits for super long swishy locks, the main one being the ability to wear in countless styles from messy braids to chic ponytails. Super slick low ponytails secured at the nape of the neck were seen at Altuzarra & Jason Wu, where models makeup contrasted against the simple style with dramatic eyes and bold red lips.
Short HairFrom chic and simple to daring and cool, short hair ruled the catwalks this season. Sixties inspired pixie cuts were seen at Chanel, punk inspired spikey crops at Marc Jacobs and rock n roll slick wetback looks at Gucci – all edgy key looks on the catwalk this season. However the coolest haircut of 2014 has to be The Bob. From slick and smooth at Jason Wu, to choppy and textured at Balmain; London, Paris, New York & Milan all rocked the iconic style on the runways this season.
Many think short hair is limiting when it comes to styling and choosing a cut to suit them. However short hair can be surprisingly versatile - from simple and easy classic crops to edgy grunge style bobs, there’s a shorty to suit all personalities and face shapes. A super easy to wear style that’s iconic and chic, every woman should go short at least once in their life.
