The bixie is the '90s-inspired haircut of the summer
What's a bixie, you may ask? Unofficially: One of the coolest haircuts of the summer. Officially: A hybrid between a bob and a pixie. In other words, the best of all worlds. Here, a look at what exactly makes a bixie a 'bixie'—and how to style it if you decide to make the chop yourself. Getty Breaking down the bixie cut The bixie has quickly become the most-requested haircut at salons. For good reason: 'It's a cut that combines the freshness and casualness of the pixie with the length of the bob, combining shorter layers at the nape of the neck and sideburns and leaving longer ones at the top and close to the face,' explains Spanish hairstylist and Redken ambassador Juandiegoteo. Think: A grown-out pixie or a choppy bob with face-framing bangs. Francesca Babbi With a vibe that calls to minds the It-girls of the 1990s like Winona Ryder, Cameron Diaz, Halle Berry, and Victoria Beckham, it allows multiple variations depending on hair texture, bone structure, and desired length. 'It can be adapted to all types of hair and face shapes: play with the bangs and leave them down, tousled, or wavy to achieve a classic or edgy style,' recommends stylist Mar Peón of Menta Beauty Place in Madrid. Who can wear a bixie cut? While the bixie can be adapted for anyone, 'it's a cut that especially favours oval faces as it highlights the cheekbones,' says Juandiegoteo. He also considers it 'ideal for fine hair because it adds a lot of volume. And, it also works well with wavy and curly hair for a more casual style,' he explains. Felicitas Ordás of Felicitas Hair says it's also a great cut for anyone who wants to highlight their jawline, shoulders, and neck. 'With this cut, the nape of the neck and sides are lengthened.' Her advice: Comb it with the ends slightly outwards to give it a playful, gamine look.

20 Trendy Summer Shirts to Wear
Those who know me well know that regardless of the season, there is one garment in particular that I would never give up: shirts. Whether worn in lieu of a jacket or to complete a tailored look in perfect Dandy style, as a cover-up or with simple jeans and sneakers, there will always be a model that suits you. Spotlight - Valentina Valdinoci Spotlight - Vincenzo Grillo Which begs the question, what are the summer shirts to cast an eye on as we head into the summer season? From the elegant ones in soft silk—perfect for chic evening outfits—to the contemporary ones with a bow closure (instead of a classic button) and the ultra light ones in linen, here are the shirts ot set your sights for summer. Linen shirt, practical and lightweight Let's start with the linen shirt, a true summer wardrobe staple. Thanks to its very light and breathable fabric, it's perfect for the city and everyday looks at the office. As for the seaside, we suggest aiming for classic shades such as white and light blue. Spotlight - Francesca Babbi COS Oversized Linen Shirt, AED444 Shirt with ties, an alternative to the blouse This shirt is without a doubt one of the coolest styles for spring summer 2025, dubbed the 'new blouse.' Practical and contemporary, fashionistas wear it to complete looks of all kinds, from morning to evening; whether in classic, plain shades - such as white - or in textures such as Vichy checks or covered in floral embroidery.

You can also explore an option with an oversize fit, depending on your style and the occasion.

This option is quintessentially practical and light, perfect even on those days where the heat puts you to the test. This model works best in a soft and oversized cut, enabling you to wear it to the beach, as a cover-up - combined with a pair of shorts - or directly with a bathing suit and sarong.
