The gentleman haircut is a classic and clean cut look. It usually has a side part but can also be combed over to one side without a defined part.
Update the gentleman with a fade haircut or modern styling. Any type of fade will work. Modern and trendy styling features height, texture or movement. The hair on top can be styled into a quiff, pomp or sweep back in addition to the comb over.
Of course, retro styles with a taper cut, comb marks and some sheen still look great. This cut can be short or medium length and also works for all hair types, including thick and wavy to curly hair.
