3. The French Girl Crop
Cropped, simple, and effortlessly chic – The French Girl Crop is a homage to classic French chic. This is a short crop with blunt ends and very subtle shaping, usually at the ears or slightly below. The key here is precision. It contours the cheek bones in a lovely way and accentuates the jaw line, great for oval and heart shaped faces. A French Girl Crop is Fresh and Spring done right and complements with a bold lip or more in your face earrings.

The simplicity of this cut also means it’s a cinch to keep up — a little bit of styling cream or a brief blow-dry and you’re good to go. It is the epitome of the art of less is more that we’re seeing take over 2025 fashion and beauty.
4. The Curly Cub Cut
It’s 2025 and curls are in! The Curly Cub Cut being a particularly popular style. This short, powerful cut is derived from the classic bob and specifically made for textured hair. It usually lands around the jawline or even a bit lower, and comes with loose layers that add volume and contour without frizz or fluff. It’s the chicest power move for anyone who’s enjoying their natural curls. What is magical about the cub cut is that it gives curls a really definitive shape — sort of shaped at the same time that it’s soft, kind of full and dare I say, a little more controlled. Works well for 3A to 4C curls, defining your curl pattern and cutting down the heaviness that leads to drooping. Pair it with curl cream and diffuse-dry for added definition. For a more dramatic look, think about keeping an undercut or side shave. Whether you’re feeling daring or want to pack some attitude, the strong silhouette of this style’s shape translates to bad-girl beautiful.
