Within the outfit of every man, an important part is the haircuts, as these provide style and elegance, giving much more personality.

Choosing a suitable cut is fundamental, and to help you, we have created a list of the 11 best classic hairstyles for men. These have survived the test of time, becoming an icon. Discover them!

Long Pompadour

Men's quiffs were one of the most famous hairstyle trends of the 1950s. This style involves lifting the hair as much as possible, creating a kind of crest. The Pompadour was very popular among 50’s rock fans, better known as Rockabilly.

Jake Gyllenhaal

This hairstyle, named after the famous actor Jake Gyllenhaal, known for movies like Brokeback Mountain, stands out for being very easy to maintain. The cut is done 100% with scissors with the top long and the sides combed back with a bit of wax.

Hair combed back

A foolproof classic is hair combed back. It is elegant and easy to style, you only need a lot of wax or gel to keep it back. Here we can find two versions, one for short hair and another for long hair. This style was very common among intellectual men of the time like Giulio Carlo Argan.

Short with beard

Wearing short hair with shaved sides and a slight volume on top is one of the most used trends in hipster fashion. Complementing it with a beard will give you much more masculinity and a classic style.

Ryan Reynolds

The star of Deadpool, Ryan Reynolds, makes an appearance on this list of the best haircuts for men thanks to his classic look with modern waves. Ryan sports a cut style with light sides and a well-defined part, so that the top can be styled with volume, but without becoming a quiff.

Textured Pompadour

Sometimes it’s not enough to just shape your quiff; it’s also necessary to give it a much more elegant style. The textured pompadour is a hairstyle that combines a raised quiff with textures like waves or a shiny finish. This type of cut was popularized by Johnny Cash.

Orlando Bloom

This celebrity is also responsible for setting trends with his men's hairstyle. His cut is characterized by being tapered, with wavy layers, and styled with conditioner and jojoba to give it volume and control. A bit of textured wax and you’re ready, you’ll have one of the best hairstyles for summer.

Messy quiff

The one who popularized this style was Elvis Presley, as this rocker wore a hairstyle with a messy quiff that gave him great elegance, while also making him look like a bad boy.

Frank Sinatra and his combined style

Another of the best classic haircuts for men is the one worn by the great singer Sinatra, which stood out for mixing two styles in one. It consisted of leaving part of the hair short and combining it with a textured top, giving it much more elegance and formality, typical of the American singer.

Classic cuts for very curly hair

Having very curly hair can make choosing a hairstyle difficult due to the rebelliousness of curls. A slightly squared cut along with a bit of light volume on top is a great choice. This cut is easy to style and will not let your hair get out of control.

Chris Pratt

Famous for playing Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy, actor Chris Pratt has brought to the scene a classic among classics, which is perfect for men suffering from hair loss. You just need to leave the top longer than the sides to create the optical illusion of having more hair.
