Thinking of getting bangs but feeling unsure about which style would actually suit you? When in doubt, Taylor Swift’s fringed hairstyles are the ultimate inspiration. So if you are a 'Swiftie' but have only heard her songs, its time you take notice of Swift's chic hairstyles, too.
Over the years, Taylor has experimented with nearly every fringe style imaginable.
New to bangs and don't want to risk a fringe look yet? Start with a side-swept fringe that isn’t too short. Taylor Swift’s OG era's bangs are perfect for this. Worn long and softly angled, they blend beautifully into the rest of the hair and work especially well if you have naturally wavy hair. They frame the face without demanding too much upkeep, and make for a great vacation haircut.

Another great option for those who want a side-fringe, are her side bangs paired with a lob, from the '1989' era. This look is polished yet playful and works across hair textures, from straight to slightly wavy. The longer length makes the bangs easy to grow out or pin back.
For those with curly or textured hair, Taylor’s 'Folklore' and 'Evermore' eras offer major inspiration. Her choppy, wavy bangs from this phase, feel effortless. These bangs work beautifully with curls because they embrace natural movement instead of fighting it. It also creates a soft romantic look.
If you have thick hair, layered bangs are your best friend. Taylor has often opted for layered fringes with highlights to prevent bulk and a blocky appearance. You can keep the bangs at an eyelash-skimming length as it helps draw attention to the eyes.
Remember Rachel Green's bangs from 'F.R.I.E.N.D.S.'? Straight-haired girls can look to Taylor’s wispy bangs paired with Rachel-style layers along the lengths. This combination gives an airy, face-framing effect without looking flat or severe.
If you’re craving something bolder, Taylor’s arched bangs are a striking choice. Shorter in the centre and longer on the sides, this shape creates a sharp frame for the face.
For those ready to fully commit to a dramatic hairstyle, Taylor’s blunt bangs paired with a sleek bob, channel effortless, Parisian-chic energy. This look is bold, confident, and undeniably stylish. But you may have to trim your hair quite often to maintain the look, and blow-dry the hair to set it!
