Murls Are the New Curls! Retro Man Hair Is the Street Style Look of the Moment

Strolling the streets of Paris and Milan between the Spring 2017 menswear shows might elicit a groovy sense of déjà vu this week. Whether paired with aviators, facial hair, or baby faces, ’70s-inspired looks for men are dominating to decidedly cool effect.

The trend is one echoed by the season’s runways: Salvatore Ferragamo’s models rocked side-parted shags, rumpled waves, and Afros in Milan; Walter Van Beirendonck coupled his quirky collection with throwback manes tucked behind ears or nearly obscuring eyes; and the hair at Dries Van Noten was multitextured and rock ’n’ roll, with forehead-skimming ringlets and parted collective curls colored in muted tones.

Outside the shows, too, fashion’s street style stars featured a practiced nonchalance, largely in the form of free-flowing
curls—and some serious accessorizing. Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele’s signature lengths were heightened by way of a smattering of on-trend necklaces, while the rest of the boys’ club opted for vintage shades; thoughtful dye jobs; retro silk shirts; and a dose of youthful, devil-may-care attitude. Here, our favorite above-the-neck street style moments from the week—all hail the 1970s!
