More elegant than a bob?: The Italian Crop is the most stylish hairstyle of the year

by Sofia Giannakopoulos
1 minThis year alone, we've seen all sorts of bob styles—from flicked-out bobs to square bobs to teddy bear bobs—and the trend seems to be on a tear. Now, however, we're finally saying goodbye to the bob and opting for another stylish, slightly bolder haircut.
The Italian Crop isn't all that different from the traditional bob, but it's still a completely different look – stylish, edgy, and above all, timeless. Also known as the Dolce Vita Crop, this haircut is currently taking salons by storm and is ideal for anyone who finds a bob too long and a pixie cut too short.
The hair is combed back loosely without appearing too tight or sleek. The Italian Crop instantly gives every wearer a confident, strong look—the perfect mix of professionalism and relaxed casualness.
How is the Italian Crop worn?The hairstyle consists of several skillfully cut layers that are long enough to be styled in a variety of ways. After cutting, with a little practice, the look can easily be blow-dried back without a parting—creating the distinctive Italian crop shape.
A light styling mousse, which gives the hair hold without weighing it down, is particularly suitable for this. If you like, you can pull out individual strands after blow-drying to give the look a looser, more natural touch. But the Italian crop is also an absolute eye-catcher in a smooth, sleek style. Stars like Florence Pugh and Kristin Scott Thomas have long been sporting the Italian crop and couldn't look more stylish. Anyone who thinks they can't look glamorous once their hair reaches a certain length will definitely find the opposite wrong with this haircut.
The name goes back to the style of Italian businessmen in the 1960s. They wore their hair combed back – a strict yet casual look. Today, the Italian Crop is a modern, powerful haircut for anyone who wants to try something new and who values self-assured elegance.
