Hairstyles That Are No Longer in Vogue for Older Women

7. Short, structured bobs are too severe

Short hairstyles are flattering for all women, but certain silhouettes can work against you. The A-line bob, a bob that is short at the back and becomes longer toward the front, draws attention downward and away from your eyes. A cut that emphasizes your facial features — not itself — is ideal. The long bob, or lob, grazes the shoulders, making for a more versatile shape. If you're dead set on that shorter cut, try a modern French bob with layers.
