Classic Slicked-Back Short Mens Hairstyle

Added: 04 Nov 2026
A classic men's short side-parted hairstyle is a timeless choice that offers a neat, polished appearance without looking overly styled or formal. This haircut features shorter sides that are neatly trimmed to create a subtle contrast with the slightly longer hair on top. Rather than fading the sides down to the skin, the hair is kept at a natural length, giving the haircut a softer, more traditional finish. The top is parted to the right, allowing the hair to sit neatly in place while adding structure and definition to your overall look. One of the biggest benefits of this style is its versatility, as it works equally well for professional settings and casual occasions. It is also relatively easy to maintain, requiring only a little styling product to keep the parting in place and the top looking smooth and tidy. You are going to need to trim your hair every few weeks to ensure that the look stays in shape and your ends stay healthy. Our model has finished off this look with a touch of short facial hair around his jawline, which adds definition and creates a more masculine appearance without overpowering the haircut.

You will need to keep your facial hair short and well groomed to achieve this look and do not forget to use aftershave. The aftershave is going to help soften your hair and keep your skin healthy. This combination works particularly well for oval, square, and oblong face shapes, as the side parting creates balance while the natural volume on top helps elongate and complement your facial features. The best part about this classic style is that glasses will suit this look!
