If you’re caught between a bob and longer lengths, the collarbone-skimming ‘clavi cut’ makes that in-between phase feel entirely deliberate. Skimming the collarbone (or clavicle), it’s become the go-to look for that cool-but-undone finish flooding TikTok—and on the red carpet, too. From Kim Kardashian’s almost-grunge take and Kirsten Dunst's softer, vintage version to Victoria Beckham's laissez-faire styling, this cut proves that mid-length hair doesn’t have to feel like a compromise.
“The clavicle is one of the most elegant, feminine parts of the body,” says Mark Leeson of Mark Leeson Salon. It’s this exact placement of the style that elevates it beyond a standard long bob. “This length sits in that perfect sweet spot: not too short, not too long, but deliberately placed to draw the eye.” Nata Bumford, hairstylist at Hershesons Belgravia, agrees on its versatility, "There’s still enough length to put your hair up or tie it for the gym, yet it’s quick to restyle, effortlessly going from a sharp, polished look to a romantic or cool-girl vibe."
