Although a long mane is a mark of being feminine, a haircut doesn’t make anyone less feminine. The lack of hair highlights the face and upper part of the body. It displays your features. Thus, everyone can see the lesser known qualities of the face. These qualities are best with certain looks that go with the urban clothing theme, for instance.
While short hair is known as a summer trend or post-breakup remedy, it is also a mark of freedom. It reveals character behind the treasured mane. Women who prefer a textured bob or a fierce pixie are free from the pressures of maintaining a long hair do.
A short hair is scary for those who aren’t used to it. To stay on top of your game after a major cut, follow these tips.
1. Discover your signature look.
Like we said earlier, having a short hair will remove the pretense. It will put your facial features to the spotlight. Some people even seem masculine after a cut. Having a haircut is the perfect time to play up your features.
If you want to complement your eyes, prepare your eye liner, mascara, and shadows. Enhance them with an updated cat eye liner, thick lashes, and champagne colored eyeshadows. You can also rock bold lips. A dark lip or fresh, pink lips with perfectly groomed brows that bring a youthful glow complements the boyish cut.
Long hair and makeup can be too overwhelming at times.
2. Embrace long legs.
Even if your legs aren’t as long as you wish, embrace them for all they are. A mini dress and skirt are refreshing and goes well with a short haircut. Denim cutoffs are also perfect for showing some skin on lazy days. Bare legs allow the curves on the bottom part of the body into view. Short hemlines soften an edgy cut and make it look balanced.
Footwear should consist of flats, booties, staple sneakers and some heels. It’s best to avoid shoes with overpowering details and heavy embellishment. White sneakers, nude strapped stilettos, and black booties are foolproof bets.
3. Girly and feminine touches are your best friend.
If you haven’t seen Lorde’s music video of Perfect Places, you definitely have to see it. Her outfits in the video are the ultimate short hair peg. She perfectly mastered the v-neck trend. She wore a cape with ruffles. Her outfit consisted of textures such as silk, chiffon, satin, tulle, and lace. There were different prints and patterns. Most of all, the colors were fashion forward and age-appropriate.
Besides Lorde’s upgraded fashion sense, short-haired gals should join the off-shoulder trend wagon. Other options are asymmetrical tops, one shoulder, peter pan collars, high and polo neck tops. When it comes to prints, nothing beats florals.
4. Length is key.
You can go over-the-top with a light jacket in the form of a shrug or coat made of a thin material. If you want something shorter, a crop top or a piece of clothing with a low back will play up your features in a good light.
5. Make sure everything fits properly.
Baggy, loose pants or ripped jeans aren’t applicable for those with trimmed cuts. Divided pants, palazzo, and flared pants are also a no-no. Avoid structured and thick dresses. These details add to the bulk of the fabric and make you look large. They distort the body’s proportions which can be a challenge if you want to hide trouble areas.
Opt for high-low skirts or floor length ones (maxi). The flowy fabric of the skirt and hemline creates a soft, feminine look.
Choose blazers with the exact fit and make sure it doesn’t have distracting details. Blazers are office appropriate when worn with ankle length pants. To achieve a casual look, wear fitted pants with a cozy, monochrome sweater.
Short hairstyles are easy to maintain. It complements various face shapes, but it can limit clothing options. Therefore, it’s best to keep in mind what goes with the chopped look. The hairstyle will dictate what you wear.
