Ask CF Question

Dear CF,

I have very short cropped hair, a.k.a., a pixie cut. I often wear it in a mohawk. I love my hair, but at times it can be hard to dress. What are some suggestions for dressing a pixie cut, without looking like a man? Standard jeans-and-a-tshirt just won’t cut it.

Sincerely,

Not-a-Man

Our Response

Dear Not-a-Man,

First off, thank you for your question! Short, cropped hair for girls has been popular over the past few years thanks in part to celeb trendsetters like Victoria Beckham, Rihanna, Michelle Williams, and Emma Watson. Like these stars have shown, having short hair doesn’t mean you have to look like a boy. Each one of these celebs rocks their short ‘dos with very different styles, but they all always look polished, feminine, and stylish.

If you’re worried about looking like a boy, try incorporating feminine details into your wardrobe – bows, ruffles, and fun, girly prints can all help you do this. And, most importantly, take advantage of your short ‘do! Try out pieces that have details such as lace, cut-outs, and other designs on the back since you won’t have to worry about any hair covering it up. Standout jewelry like earrings and necklaces are also great pieces to try.

Below, I have created a few outfits that incorporate these tips. Hopefully you find them helpful. Good luck putting together some of your own looks for yourself!

Sincerely,

Jessica
