1: Buzzcut

A quality buzzcut is as simple and stylish now as it's ever been, making it one of the best short hairstyles for men. Low-maintenance and easy to style, the buzzcut is a simple staple that works well in any setting, mainly if your hair is naturally curly or tightly crimped. Then, pair it with a low or high fade and some high-end streetwear to bring out your inner Drake. For more inspiration, check out our guide to the best buzzcut styles for men.

2: Low Fade

While similar to the undercut, a fade gradually thins as it goes from the top to the sides, cultivating fluidity instead of stark contrast. As a result, the low fade—which sets the base of the fade lower down from the top—is exceptionally versatile and stylish. It's one of the best men's haircuts for those who like to stand out from the pack without resorting to overly loud gestures.

3: Mid Fade

The taper typically lands right below the temple on a mid or medium fade. Handsome, intelligent, and classic, it suits men of all passions and professions. This is one of the most famous men's haircuts this year, thanks to its adoption and influence in professional sports and music.

4: High Fade

The fade lands closer to the top this time, resulting in a sharp and distinctive look. In more traditional barbering circles, this can be referred to as 'white-walling' as you get that crispy, un-touched by the sun skin out in the open. But, again, a high fade will undoubtedly stand out and is best paired with a short top that is easy to style and doesn't overhang. But, again, it's a men's haircut that's best left to the barber because even the slightest deviation will stand out.

5: Side Part

Ever since "Mad Men," this classic haircut has come roaring back into fashion. Of course, Don Draper's take is but one amongst several potential styles, including the faded sides approach. The most significant consideration to consider with a side part men's haircut is the arches of the hairline. If you choose to go with a side where you have a receding hairline, it can accentuate the balding section. Find the one that works for you and prepare to exude sophisticated masculinity.

6: High Taper

With this famous men's haircut, the sides thin down as they descend. There are many taper options, from low tapers that evoke a sense of class and sophistication to the more abrupt high tapers that provide a stylized approach. As a result, you get literal layers of texture and contrast. It's as versatile a style as the very men who rock it.

7: Burst Fade

One men's hairstyle we've been loving, the burst fade typically combines a drop or all-around fade with something extra special up top like a faux-hawk or pompadour. It renders quite an immediate impression. While this men's hairstyle originated with tight, curly hair, over the last few years, we've seen more guys with straight and wavy hair textures adapt the cut. It always pays to keep the top short and spiky to ensure maintenance and structure.

8: Caesar

A men's hairstyle has to be good if it's going to stay the course over millennia. Julius Caesar's namesake cut has done that, albeit with a few contemporary touch-ups like a quality fade. Synonymous with power, it goes short around the crown with a horizontal fringe.

9: Textured Crop

Why settle for the standard crop when you can add extra texture to the equation? Adding texture to your haircut involves cutting the hair on top at several different lengths instead of a uniform size. You may have noticed your barber flip his scissors upside down and hit the top with an underhanded technique. This is an example of texturizing the hair. We recommend adding texturizing powder rather than a wax or pomade to style this one. As a direct result, you distinguish yourself as a man of true style.

11: Undercut

Here's a hairstyle for men that only gets more popular each year. Short around the sides and slightly longer on top is the game's name, opening the door to all possibilities. The cut is generally styled back, with the contrasted short sides accentuating the length and bulk on top. This may, in turn, elongate your face, giving you a more aesthetic oval shape.

12: Disconnected Undercut

Play upon contrasts by going even longer on top and shaving around the sides. In that regard, this trendy men's haircut is basically like two in one, blending the features of a buzz cut with that of a quiff or fringe or whatever it is you decide to put on top. Crank up the visual dial by bringing a beard into the equation. Nice!

13: Scissor-Cut Pompadour

Since the days of Elvis, the mighty pompadour has signified men of a specific well-groomed and stylish nature. So sit yourself down in the barbershop chair and let a master get to work with the scissors. You might walk out with one of the best men's haircuts around. To bring the men's haircut into the modern era, you could add a taper to the sides and back to create some division between the long and short sections.

14: Slick Back

A little retro, perhaps, but the slicked-back cut still makes for a bold and masculine statement. Over the last few years, we've seen this men's haircut make a roaring return for a good reason. The slick back offers versatility and ease of styling. However, it's important to note that hair density and texture come into play. If your hair is fine, there is a greater chance it will split, leaving you with a fantastic set of curtains. If possible, don't overdo it on the product so that your hairstyle remains a somewhat natural appearance.
