There’s no denying that Europe is home to some of the best fashion and beauty brands in the world, which is why we often write about European nail and fashion trends. While London is full of inspiration, I often look to Paris, Copenhagen, Italy, and more when I want to try out new fashion styles, makeup, and haircuts. Speaking of haircuts, I’ve noticed more and more of my favorite European influencers opting for short hairstyles this summer, and I’m definitely thinking about going short myself.
If you’re thinking about cutting your hair short for the coming season, you’re in luck. I’ve been scrolling through Instagram over the last week, looking at the biggest short hair trends being spotted on stylish women across Europe. It’s no surprise that the bob is one of the most popular styles, but there are plenty of ways to wear this haircut this summer. If you’re not all about bobs and are looking to go even shorter, a pixie haircut might be just what you’re looking for. Whatever your preference, you’ll find plenty of inspiration below…
5 European short hair trends to try this summer
1. Italian Bob
