20 Newest Bob Hairstyles for Women: Easy Short Haircut Ideas

CHRIS MCMILLAN Last Update: February 14, 2025

Bobs are definitely the major trend for this year and fortunately it’s a cut that flatters most face shapes and all ages. The Burberry models showed us how to wear a bowl cut with style and panache, with their no-fringe bobs matched with white sunglasses and gorgeous lavender coats!

Ragged chic

Even so, they were emphasising the fact that choppy layers are set to be the biggest trend in bob hairstyles for women this year. However, on normal hair the ‘ragged’ finish of a shiny fringe and uneven layers is a super-trendy and attractive bob hairstyle for the ultimate in contemporary-casual chic.

Reverse bobs are really hot this year and a medium reverse bob hairstyle, for women with a long face, can be very flattering if you add plenty of round volume at the sides with rollers. This is a super-attractive 1960’s retro look and adds the width you need to balance out the length of the face perfectly.

A smooth, straight blunt-cut bob ending just above the chin, on thick hair, produces a low maintenance look that softly frames the face. The choppy, asymmetric styles are great for slimming a round face, too!

And the profile you get with a reverse, angled or stacked bob looks super-modern!

Hair accessories

The new bob hairstyles for women also fit perfectly with the other big trend for hair accessories. Bows, slides, barrettes, scarves and headbands are selling like crazy.

All shades of purple are a major fashion colour for this year, so wearing a lavender silk scarfas a hairband around your bob or pretty bow on a clip,will give you lots of contemporary-casual style – without you having to buy new fashion clothes!

I love it when we get a real sea-change in hair fashions, don’t you?
