Men's haircuts that suit an oblong face

Add width, not height.

Overview

An oblong (or rectangular) face is noticeably longer than it is wide, and the forehead, cheekbones and jaw are close to the same width, so the sides of the face look fairly straight. The rule for this shape is simple: keep height on top modest and keep some hair at the sides. A fringe at brow level makes the face look shorter, and a low taper keeps fullness at the temples. Tall pompadours and high fades do the opposite, so they are the cuts to skip.

Best men's haircuts for an oblong face

Every cut here is in the try-on list above.

Cuts to try

French crop
A forward fringe shortens the face and the top stays flat.
Caesar cut
A short, straight fringe with even length; keeps the face from looking longer.
Textured crop with a low fade
Messy texture forward on top, with hair kept at the temples.
Side-swept fringe
A sweeping fringe at brow level cuts the length of the face.
Curtains
A middle-part fringe that falls to the sides adds width.
Classic side part
Neat and office-friendly; keep the sides a little longer.
Ivy League
A short side-parted crew cut with little height.
Side-swept quiff
If you like a quiff, push it sideways rather than up.
Medium-length flow
Hair to the ears or below adds width at the sides.
Textured mid-length layers
Wavy or layered hair with movement at the sides.
