The Look: Throw-back styles of the young, well-groomed schoolboy
The end of the “messy bed head” arrived when Men’s looks for summer were seen to be cleaner and noticeably groomed, recalling the polish and neatness of a 50’s schoolboy, but with a modern, DRY finish (e.g. the protagonist in the Ken Loach film, Kes). To mimic the look, hair should be kept very short at the back and sides with longer pieces along the top. For the particularly trend-forward, add bangs. Fringes emerged as a Men’s trend during Fall Fashion Week 2007 at shows like Dries Van Noten. They can be pushed to the side or straight back to achieve a multitude of varied looks.
