"skivvy" - do, distinctive hair styles, Favlook - Lookfav Focus, hairstyles, inventive hair design

 

 

The “skivvy”

is a term coined by meappropriatestyle as description for

a to the scalp trimmed hairstyle worn by a

fashion forward / fashion fearless woman.

An equivalent label in the male hairstyling world,

is a buzz cut.

 

…

 

Why the introduction of “skivvy”

into the meappropriatestyle fashion / style lexicon?

 

Well,

I nicknamed my own once ‘to the scalp’ do as skivvy:

to mean styled cut to the skin (the look)  /  sassy (the attitude).

I liked the resonant quality of the word:  sounds good to my ear.

I enjoyed having an original / fun  naming of my do.

 

…

A skivvy sighting on & Other Stories

 

Spotted on the web pages of

high street brand & Other Stories

(the 2013 addition to the H & M family

of Scandanivian cool factor fashion)  –

was a model sporting a “skivvy” do

with lined up hair and fade detail.

…

Favlook – Lookfav Focus

A skivvy do, done to perfection

sharp line

fade feature

Love it !

Pumped up … men’s hairstyling a la Danny Zuko

Danny Zuko, distinctive hair styles, John Travolta, Madame Pompadour, men's hair styles, men's pompadour

It’s a haircut and hair style that’s trending –

 a big to-do about this up-do:

the ’50s inspired pompadour in all its glory and manifestations.

…

Then:  Its origins

Attributed to Madame de Pompadour, 1721 – 1764

a mistress of the French monarch, Louis XV.

The hairstyle was popular at Court,

remaining in vogue well into the 1890s.

Madame de Pompadour by Francois Boucher

…

From its 18th century introduction to present day,

the pompadour has been evident in hair fashion

in one form or another.

Originally worn by women, in copying Madame de Pompadour,

by mid 20th century (1950s), the style was

adopted and adapted by the Danny Zuko types –

the ones … ‘mummy warned about’

…

(image from ladresse-hair.eu):

…

Now:  the look

Today the men’s pompadour takes its basic style cue from

the ’50s inspiration:

hair upswept, away from the face

 volume and height on top

combed and controlled –

Go Grease Lightening

…

Men’s Pompadour:  21st C cool

(image from fashionbeans.com):

 modern twist on a classic

…

too cool for school hair attitude 

…

buzz and fade
