'Birkin bangs' are proving to be the haircut of the summer—and they ooze French-girl chic

Emily Ratajkowski with Birkin bangs

When it comes to hair, trends come and go. While blunt bobs are in one minute, the next we're talking about the butterfly cut and Scandi hairline. And while bobs have no doubt reigned supreme in the hair space in recent years, it's time for something new to take centre stage—the fringe. Yep, the fringe is back with a bang (pun totally intended). And right now, it's all about Birkin bangs.

Yes, you did read that right—Birkin bangs, not Birkin bags. You see, besides being a sartorial icon, original 'French girl', Jane Birkin, was also famous for her stylish bangs. Sitting somewhere between a full fringe and curtain bangs, the Birkin fringe is whispy, laid-back and gives off a 'zero effort required' sort of vibe. And we're seeing it everywhere right now. Everyone from Emily Ratajkowski to J Lo seems to be opting for Birkin bangs.
