With the buzz surrounding the much-anticipated Oasis reunion, one thing is clear: the iconic Mod haircut is making a comeback. This classic style, synonymous with the Britpop era and the Gallagher brothers, is set to influence men’s grooming trends as fans and fashion enthusiasts embrace this retro look with a modern twist.
Jonathan Andrew, the Fudge Professional stylist to stars like Jamie Redknapp, predicts a surge in requests for this iconic style. “As excitement builds around the Oasis reunion tour, we’re definitely going to see more people wanting to grow, style, and reclaim these legendary haircuts,” he says. “The Mod haircut is making a big return, but with updates to suit today’s trends.”
A Modern Take on a Classic Look
According to Andrew, while the traditional Mod haircut will reappear, it won’t be a strict revival of the original style. “We’ve already seen hints of this look with the mullet trend,” he explains. “But now, guys will be more open to adopting the Mod haircut, albeit with more texture and movement.”
Instead of the sharp, straight fringe sported by the Gallagher brothers, the updated version of the Mod cut will feature a more relaxed, textured look. Andrew advises clients to ask their barbers for subtle adjustments, such as growing out the sides and keeping length in the front, creating a shaggy, effortless style. “The goal is to add texture through the top and give it a messy, lived-in feel, rather than a rigid, straight look.”
Why the Mod Cut Works Now
The timing of this hairstyle revival couldn’t be better. As fall approaches, shorter hair becomes a practical choice for managing bulkier outerwear like big coats and scarves. “This look is perfect for the colder months,” Andrew says. “Shorter hair is easier to manage, and the textured style holds its shape better over time.”
With its balance of retro charm and contemporary texture, the modern Mod haircut is poised to dominate men’s grooming this season. Fans of Oasis and trendsetters alike will appreciate this fresh, stylish nod to one of Britain’s most iconic bands.
