If 2020 has you itching for a new haircut and you’re looking for inspiration – look no further. Since hair trends come and go, we’ve compiled a list of what’s coming and what’s going in the new decade. And if the runways are any indication, we’re saying goodbye to the precision styles that have come to dominate the streets. Short back and sides, quiffs and tight crops are out for 2020. “We’re seeing the return of lots of late-1980s hairstyles, such as the mullet, the flick and the flat top,” says Mr Matt Mulhall, a hairstylist whose work can be seen on the runways of Hermès, Dunhill and Dolce & Gabbana. “They’ve not been around for a while, so today they look modern and fresh. The fade is fading out. Overall, men’s hair is getting longer and we’re seeing a lot of statement shades in vibrant tones.” This year, it’s all about curls, colour, longer lengths and natural texture. To this end, we asked Mr Mulhall to style five inspirational hairdos for 2020. Go ahead, take a risk. Express yourself and let it grow.

In the Venn diagram of life, there are only small and fleeting overlaps between the way a man feels and how good he looks. The anti-ageing effects of a well-earned holiday, for example, or the glow of newfound love come around only once in a while and are, unfortunately, the sorts of things no face cream in the world can possibly deliver. Holding onto the ephemeral, body-and-skin transforming magic of feeling amazing is, for many, the golden ring.

Whether you’re bingeing on Bumble, hooked on Hinge or tracking Tinder, nowadays it’s possible for most of us to get more dates than Brexit. The trouble with this instant dating culture is that it often ends up being rather last minute, which presents a host of problems for anyone who doesn’t look immaculate 24/7. And even if you are in a relationship, a 20-minute calendar notification or spontaneous text can remind you that you should really do something about those chapped lips and be quick about it. We’ve put together the tips and tricks that will transform you into the perfect Valentine. So, get your coat – and your hair cream, fragrance, eye cream, beard oil and face mask – and you might just pull.

The grooming industry is growing. Men are spending more money on their hair and skin than ever before and, as investment in the science behind skincare grows, new active ingredients and products are appearing. Here, we present a short primer on what you could be doing for your appearance in 2020 that you perhaps haven’t done before. Some of it may sound scary (the LED face mask makes for a brilliant Halloween costume), but if you incorporate this lot into your routine, you’ll have barely changed at all by the time we get to 2030.
