9 Summer 2025 Bob Trends About to Take Over Your Feeds

This probably goes without saying, but bobs are having a moment—well, more like an entire era. “It’s like bob mania out here, and I’m not mad about it,” declares celebrity hairstylist and colorist Dimitris Giannetos, who is known for coiffing many a celebrity ‘do (including Joey King's Prada bob and Gigi Hadid's flicked bob). “The bob feels intentional and not high-maintenance. It’s clean, confident, and has this power to it. Plus, it works whether you’re in your effortless, off-duty model era or your red carpet moment.”

In short (pun very much intended), bobs aren't going anywhere. In fact, they're expected to soar even higher this season. Summer, after all, calls for breezy, undone beauty looks—and what's more low-key than an effortless crop? “It keeps the neck free, it air-dries like a dream, and it always looks styled even when it’s not,” Giannetos continues. “You don’t need to spend hours heat styling when the cut does the work for you. That’s the beauty of a good bob. It gives even when you give it nothing.” Below, see the nine trending styles that are the epitome of effortlessly cool.

Of course, we must start with arguably the most timeless crop of all. A French bob is always on-trend, characterized by airy texture and subtle waves. Bonus points if you pair it with wispy curtain or full bangs, according to hairstylist Kasper Heemskerk, international education director for Balmain Hair.
