That moment, when you wonder whether you should get bangs or not… It comes about twice a year: sometimes we really feel like changing our haircut, but we are also unsure as to whether bangs would look good on us, and that stops us from actually changing our look. This Fall Winter 2017-2018, we saw some truly adorable bangs at the shows that work for all kinds of features. So, what will it be? Bangs, yes or no?
LONG, REGULAR BANGS
Emporio Armani cuts bangs on long, straight hair. This works for those of us who have a square jaw, and it will tone down stronger features. It’s also perfect if you want to hide a wide forehead and other little flaws, and it will focus everyone’s attention on your eyes.
LONG BANGS, WITH A MIDDLE PARTING
This looks lovely on round and oval faces, and it’s perfect for messy hair lovers, as we saw at the Akris and Annakiki shows.
IRREGULAR FRINGE
This looks good on pretty much any kind of features and works well with curly hair, as we saw at the Alberta Ferretti, Marni, Dries van Noten and Shoji shows.
SHORT FRINGE
It looks like it’s straight out of the 1950s, it can be messy, or perfectly straight and geometric. This will beautifully frame rounder faces, as we saw looking at the models of the Wanda Nylon show.
If you’re thinking about getting bangs — for the umpteenth time! — show your hairdresser the image of your favorite kind of bangs, and make friends with your round brush and your hairdryer… You will be spending a lot of time together!
