It was only a matter of time before the mouse haircut had its own moment, considering the popularity of all the other animal-inspired chops that have come before it. We’ve seen the wolf cut, fox cut, butterfly cut, and kitty cut all take off over the past couple of years, and now the mouse haircut is here to offer all the cosy vibes you could ever want for fall.
What is the mouse haircut?
The mouse haircut follows the same sort of mood as the mousy blonde hair shade that’s also taking off this season. It’s understated and unassuming, but that doesn’t mean it’s not stylish. The mouse haircut is essentially a very lightly layered midi or long haircut, paired with a full ’70s fringe. It also features face-framing layers that skim the lashes and give the cut that shy yet flirty, girl-next-door energy.
While it’s not as loud and noticeable as mega-layered or shaggy cuts, the framework the mouse haircut provides can elevate any look and works across so many different styles, whether you’re going preppy, glam, grungy, or classic.
Why choose the mouse haircut?
The mouse haircut counts Taylor Swift as one of its most high-profile fans. She’s kept her cut consistent across her almost 21-month tour, and the fact it worked across all of Taylor’s different eras just goes to show how versatile it is.
As for timing, it couldn’t be more appropriate now the colder months are coming and we’re adding extra layers to our outfits. It stands to reason we’d want a little extra coziness around our face too.
How to wear the mouse haircut?
To match with the understated shape, it works best loosely styled and paired with your natural texture, whether that’s semi-straight, wavy, or curly. That sad, we’ve seen it worn bouncy and blowdried, if you do want something a little more glam.
