The French Bob is back: the most beautiful haircut for summer

Hardly any haircut can be seen on red carpets and the Instagram feeds as often as the French Bob. Whether “Emily in Paris” star Lily Collins (36), (26) or “White Lotus” star (39)-All rely on the chicest haircut of the year. That is why the bob hairstyle is just so popular: the French Bob looks elegant, but also casual and is also wonderfully easy to care for. In short: the BOB is the perfect trend hairstyle for the summer of 2025.

The French Bob is a modern short haircut with a nostalgic flair. In contrast to the classic jaw bob, the French Bob usually ends a little shorter – often at the lip line or just on the jaw section. The slightly wedge -shaped shape of the cut ensures that it adapts ideally to different facial shapes and creates soft contours.

Its versatility is typical of the look: it can be worn with and without a pony. Anyone who opts for a pony will take a shorter version at the French Bob that ends just above the brows-inspired by the style of the Paris jazz singers of the 1920s and revived by the cinema “The Fabulous World of Amélie” (2001).

What makes the French Bob so attractive right now is his uncomplicated chic. It looks like a casual “out of bed” style. The cut emphasizes the natural hair structure and hardly needs styling products or heat. Especially with fine hair, the look gives more volume and dynamics, with curly hair it brings the texture perfectly.

In addition, the French Bob fits every occasion – whether business meeting, beach day or rooftopparty. With a little Sea-Salt spray for more structure or a Sleek finish for the evening look, the cut can be reinterpreted again and again.

What makes the French Bob so special is also the attitude to life that it embodies: you feel like Emily in Paris. Whether with pony or without, Sleek or Undone-this haircut provides French-girl vibes.
