The Pixie cut is undoubtedly the haircut of the moment, but in reality, it's a hairstyle that has truly stood the test of time. Over the years, numerous stars have popularised this haircut, transforming it from a symbol of rebellion and empowerment in its shortest versions to an elegant, sophisticated, and ultra-feminine style. 

And while it's true that many of us are captivated by photos and looks featuring the pixie cut, only a few actually dare to embrace it. The reason is that not everyone is sure the cut will enhance their face and features, or perhaps they mistakenly believe it isn't suitable for their hair type. Let’s try to debunk some myths and discover who the pixie cut flatters and how to rock it with the best looks.

The Pixie Cut: Who does it suit?

The short answer: everyone. What will truly make the difference is the style of the cut and the varying lengths. In fact, to embrace a pixie cut, it's not always necessary to go for an ultra-short length. On the contrary, you can play with layers, fringes, and gradations based on the shape of your face.

Of course, round and oval faces will have a wider range of options, as this cut greatly enhances well-proportioned features. On the other hand, if styled correctly, it can help soften and emphasise certain aspects of our face.

For a round face, for example, to balance the features, you just need to leave slightly longer lengths on the sides of the face, creating an optical elongating effect.

To best enhance a square face, it’s important to play with layers and a soft fringe that help to balance the width of the jaw, a characteristic feature of this face shape.

Pixie cuts for curly and straight hair

In this case, too, it's a highly versatile cut for both curly and straight hair; what makes the difference here will be the styling. The pixie cut is perfect when left to dry naturally, according to your own preference. Shorter lengths are perfect for a variety of hairstyles, especially with the use of styling pastes that, thanks to the quick drying time of the hair, make styling much more fun and easier to achieve. At this point, all that's left is to choose your style and shape it as you like, adopting either classic or rock moods, allowing curls and volume to freely define your look.

Pixie cut: The best outfits to complement it

As we mentioned earlier, this unique haircut enhances and highlights the face, defining its contours and emphasising the features. The focus will be on the upper part of our body, but don’t worry, there’s no neckline that’s off-limits for the pixie cut. On the contrary, this style opens the door to all kinds of dresses and tops waiting to be discovered.

A dress with a wide and elegant neckline will give even more room for your face to stand out and shine, perfectly framed by the edges of your pixie cut.

The short cut will add character and personality to even the simplest, most basic t-shirt, allowing for bolder pairings with colourful and vibrant patterned trousers and skirts.

If you prefer a more classic style, the pixie cut will be absolutely perfect when paired with a blouse and tailored suit, creating an elegant and truly timeless look.

A haircut is just one of the ways we can have fun expressing our personality, our desire for change, or even our eagerness to experiment with our image. Clothes thus become an additional tool to tell a story through looks, ways of being, and playful expressions of personality.
