This Low-Maintenance Bob Is Set to Be Summer's Most Timeless Cut

There's no denying that the bob has been the haircut of the past year. It seems that many of us took the plunge and opted for a short haircut over the past 12 months. And if one thing's for sure, our love affair with bobs isn't going anywhere as we're now halfway into 2024. We've seen every iteration of the bob haircut make a comeback from the Italian bob to the blunt bob and the stacked bob to the French bob. And now, the choppy bob is the next haircut that I predict we'll be seeing a lot more of. Call your hairstylist, stat.

Scrolling through my Instagram feed, I'm seeing so many choppy, textured bobs. And I'm not surprised. Not only is this a timeless haircut that suits everyone, but the layers give hair body and movement for that effortless "undone" look with minimal effort.

Gigi Hadid also went for a choppier cut when she stepped out with shorter hair recently. I love how effortless this looks.

A choppy bob works so well with a face-framing fringe such as curtain bangs and helps enhance your hair's natural texture.

Note the subtle layers in Laura Harrier's choppy lob haircut, which she had before going a little shorter.

An easy way to style a choppy bob? Flip it into a side parting for extra volume.

Choppy, face-framing layers are great if you're growing out your bob, or if want to keep some length if you're going shorter.

A choppy bob also looks great when it skims the jaw.

A hair tong is a great way to add volume and shape to a shoulder-length bob with layers.
