These Trendy Short Hairstyles Will Get You Excited for Fall 2021

This chin-hugging cut doesn't take any sass, which just so happens to be the vibe we're trying to muster for the whole autumn season. 

Bring on the vintage feels with this textured bob that frames the face with minimal layering and a soft bend around the temples. 

You really can't go wrong with an in-between length and easy layering that gives volume and movement without requiring too much styling, seen here by stylist Chrissy Rasmussen.

Make a cropped cut even more on trend for fall by asking for choppy layers on top that will make sure you have plenty of styling potential. 

Short hair doesn't have to be boring, and this bob will back us up on that. Long, side-swept bangs are a great option for anyone trying to update their short bob ahead of the season. 

If ends could cut glass, we'd bet on this sharp lob-length style any day. For those with naturally straight, fine, or thin hair, this can turn up the style with little-to-no hassle. 

Curls really sing when paired with tons of layers that enhance your curl pattern and natural volume. Case in point: this layered bob that brings new life into any curly mane. Wispy bangs top it off perfectly. 

We're aiming for all the texture when it comes to this mini bob. Internal layers are the way to go when getting extra volume out of short hair.

Keep things simple and clean with a boyish crop cut with side-swept bangs that flatter most face shapes. Why shouldn't autumn be the perfect time to start showing off those cheekbones? Exactly.

If you're looking to pump up the volume, a stacked bob will do the trick. Layering the backside shorter than the front ensures that you've got extra height and body. 

A shag cut has style for days, and we're loving it for all hair textures this fall season—especially those with springy spirals. Fringe (like this set by stylist Michelle Thompson) can revamp any look. 

Nothing frames the face like a collarbone-skimming haircut with internal layering to feign extra volume and take off weight without looking too choppy. 

As far as we're concerned, curtain bangs will never go out of style — and we can't help but recommend it for any hair update. It's just the move to make when craving something to jazz up any existing cut. 

A saucy shoulder length, tons of layers, and wispy bangs make up this ultimate curly girl cut that we're hoping to see all over salons this season. 

Keep plenty of styling potential with a cropped cut that is shorter on one side, but leaves long side-swept bangs on the other side.

The key to nailing this look is framing the jawline with extra short layers to capture that Joan Jett-inspired shag style. The length skims the collarbones just so. 

This one by stylist Carolynn Judd is all about the drama, hitting the nape of the neck in the back and skimming the collarbones in the front. Ask for A-line, instead of stacked. 

This is a modern-day version of the helmet shag, and we're loving every single inch of it. Cropped bangs and mega layers are the ticket to snagging the retro look. 

The easiest way to update any basic straight, long bob? Add some texture with long bangs or layers. 

Chic, modern-day mullet, anyone? This neck-grazing cropped cut can be styled in many different ways. 

For those with thick hair, a blunt bob that grazes the chin can be super flattering. Accentuate with texture and minimal layering. 

One of the longer cuts in the bunch, this asymmetrical cut is perfect for those looking to inch their way up to a bob. A deep side part complements it perfectly.
