Sitting somewhere between a bob and longer-length hair, the collarbone cut has become one of the season’s defining looks — and Stylist turned to James Lear for his expert take.
Falling around the collarbone, the cut occupies that sweet spot where structure meets movement. It creates enough shape to make a statement, while retaining the length and versatility to be worn in different ways.
For James, it’s another example of how seemingly subtle changes to length, proportion and finish can completely alter the character of the hair.
It reflects an approach built around refinement rather than reinvention for reinvention’s sake — understanding the individual, the hair and the desired outcome before shaping a look that feels effortless.
Discover James’ contribution and Stylist’s guide to wearing the collarbone cut this season.
