Move Over, Micro Bobs—This New Short Hairstyle Is Chic, Elegant and Easy to Maintain

Another day, another bob hairstyle stealing my heart. I really thought I'd seen every iteration of the popular short haircut by now, but then a trend comes along and has me reconsidering my entire look. The latest bob that I can't get enough of? The collarbone length bob.

As someone who's had long hair for most of her life, this is the kind of bob hairstyle that I can totally get on board with. No, it's not super short, but it still gives me all of the elegant bob vibes without the upkeep that a shorter hairstyle can bring.

What Is a Collarbone Length Bob?

As the name suggests, this bob sits just above or at the top of your collarbones, and is a little longer than your usual bob haircut. The great thing about it is that it's a lot more relaxed than a shorter bob hairstyle, and won't require as much maintenance (aka a trip to the salon every few weeks for a trim). Another great thing about this cut is that it's a lot more versatile. So, if you don't feel like wearing your hair down one day, you can pin it back with a hairband or claw clip. However, the main thing I love about this hairstyle is how effortless it looks. Don't believe me? Just check out some of these chic collarbone length bob hair ideas below.
