10 Stylish Ways to Wear the Nostalgic Mall Bangs Trend
A retro-edgy style to welcome the new year!
Although the beauty world is consistently evolving, trends from the past often come to light over and over again with their own fresh twists and perspectives. For instance, mall bangs. They are a type of fringe that was popular in the 1980s and 1990s and are characterized by being short and wispy. In the past, they were heavily styled with hairspray. This iconic hairstyle has made a chic comeback, seamlessly blending vintage charm with modern-day flair. Celebrate this modern look by making it your own! Here are ten ways you can wear mall bangs:

5. Rounded Bob
A bob is always a beautiful way to draw attention to your face frame. Not to mention, it’s a sleek, gorgeous-looking, yet low-maintenance look. Further, elevate your bob by pairing it with a stunning mall bang fringe.
6. Curly Mall Bangs

7. Side Swept Bangs
Although mall bangs are typically known to be a full-on fringe across the forehead, if you find more comfort in side bangs, this is a way to test mall bangs without leaving your comfort zone fully. The key to achieving this look (the mall bangs way) is to allow your bangs a little bit of wispiness when styling and cutting your hair.
8. Duo Pony with Mall Bangs
Make your new bangs pop with a style allowing it to be your frame’s center. Rock this style with a cute ponytail or, better yet, with two ponytails for the cutest everyday look! There are so many ponytail styles that will look great with these bangs!
9. Colorful Mall Bangs
