It was only ever going to give way to a more traditional style: 2007's bob hair style and trend has given way to the bob in 2008, and it's perfect for the year. Amazingly versatile, there are so many ways to wear the bob this year that you're going to be perfectly on trend but still 100% unique. If you're more traditional wear it as a natural accompaniment to the revival of 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s fashion trends (think Catherine Zeta Jones in Chicago). Or go the other end of the spectrum with something far more modern: a longer, blunt cut bob like the one sported by Hana Soukupova (above left). Or how about letting out your inner sex kitten with the rock-chic version we've been fantasizing about on Freja Beha Erichsen (above right). You can make it your own in plenty of other ways: fringed or fringe-less, blonde or brunette, short at the back, or blunt cut all over.
Again tied into the 1930s and 40s influences, soft feminine hairstyles will make it to 2008. Soft waves and tousled-up tresses in romantic styles will match with softer makeup (pastel colours) and delicate clothing.
On the other extreme to the super-soft and feminine hairdos, masculine styles also hit the runways as as forerunner to 2008. Agyness Deyn's trademark boyish crop was the perfect playground for creating masculine styles, and Yves Saint Laurent slicked the hair of their models back into 50s rockabilly men's dos. We're not expecting this to be too mainstream, but to be picked up by the more alternative types on the street.((get those heads together..))
