From the feathered pixie to the shaggy bob, the 6 best winter hairstyles to try this season

Like the best cosy knitwear and failsafe wardrobe staples, sometimes, the best winter hairstyles really are the classics. That's the case for the biggest winter 2025 hair trends, which are, in a way, not trends at all. They're takes on iconic looks—the pixie, chocolate-brown hues, the ponytail—but with updates that will carry them into the new year. Ahead, discover the best winter 2025 hairstyles to try, including predictions from celebrity hairstylist Clariss Rubenstein, and the products that will help you recreate these iconic looks.

A Shaggy Bob

The chin-length haircut's hold on us isn't letting up for winter. For a new take on the more laid-back Riviera bob, try a shaggy cut like Pamela Anderson's, which works with all kinds of hair types and textures.

Unexpected Accessories

The Row's ultra-elegant hair combs from the spring 2026 show are on our festive moodboard this season. DIY a pared-down version this season by adding a comb into any topknot or sideswept style.

A Feathered Pixie

The cropped look is Rubenstein's top trend for the season, specifically, "short on the sides and back with soft layers through the top," says the stylist. "I love how it pairs with high necklines and cosy fall layers. It’s effortless on hair from straight to wavy, and it always looks best with a bit of texture."

Glossy Blowout

Of course, not everyone is going for a short cut—and in that case, it's all about serious shine like Rachel Zegler's. "For longer hair, the glossy blowout is still going strong," says Rubenstein. "Big volume, but healthy and luminous."

Chocolate Colour

When it comes to hair colours, expect to see more rich brunette shades like Mia Goth's. "I’m loving the shift toward milk-to-dark chocolate brunettes—rich, warm, and neutral all at once," says Rubenstein. "There’s always that instinct to go deeper as the weather cools, and these tones flatter everyone."

A Snatched Pony

Easy and reliable, the ponytail is a year-round go-to, but it's having a moment right now. Plus, as Laura Harrier demonstrates here, it's an excellent style for showing off standout jewellery.
