Trends come and go, but some hairstyles are practically timeless. Here are 9 simple haircuts that always look great.

And the best part is that these classics look great on pretty much anyone. For the most part, you don’t need any specific hair type to make them work for the most part.

There are a few important reasons you might choose a basic cut over a trendier one.

First, these classics look great with a variety of personal styles, and there’s something for everyone. Whether your hair is thin and light or thick and dark, you can find a simple cut that works for you.

Focusing on simplicity can be really helpful if you’re seriously thinking about your hair for the first time. The world of men’s hair can be daunting, but these simple hairstyles provide a helpful foundation that you can always rely on.

Second, most of these haircuts are low maintenance and easy to style.

Third, you might prefer the look of these simpler cuts. After all, they are classic hairstyles for a reason.

Finally, you might enjoy the practicality. Many trendy styles either favor certain hair types or require a lot of styling. Not all of us can pull off those perfectly messy windswept quiffs (and not all of us want to).

That’s the beauty of these timeless styles — even though they’ve been around for decades, they still feel fresh.
