The chic mid-length cut with endless styling potential.
So, you’ve decided to grow out your long-lived bob. At some point, it’ll reach your collarbone (aka “clavicle”) and you’ll get a nice little clavicut. It’s an elegant haircut with a clean silhouette that fully aligns with the “old money” aesthetics. Read on to explore the 23 fabulous clavicle-length haircuts and spot your favorite ones.
It’s important not to overdo the face-framing layering with this cut. Excessive frontal layers will strip it of its main feature – the collarbone-grazing ends. A long, outgrown fringe will do the trick of balancing your face.

With fairly conservative shapes, one way to spice up the hairstyle is by experimenting with color. Thanks to the subdued shadow roots, a cool-toned vanilla blonde tone is given an extra dimension.
@fernandaarbex_
Some subtle warm-toned highlights, scattered where the strands naturally get sun-kissed, make all the difference. They break up the solid dark hair color and add a sunny glow to the complexion.
@antonio_cozza_
The delish creamy tones of the blonde grant this hairstyle airiness when mixed with the darker base tones. The lighter strands beautifully catch the light whether styled sleek and straight or in erratic waves.
@mangelpeluqueros
This hairstyle captivates with its distinctive bouncy baseline and signature face framing. Parted right in the middle, it flares around the cheekbones, drawing attention to the eyes, and gently caresses the chin.
@larissa_edwardsandco
Need a low-maintenance coloring solution for your hairstyle? A money piece that is a level or two lighter than your natural hair color is a great option. It illuminates the face, adds dimension to your locks, and grows out seamlessly.
@samuelimma_
There’s no better way to flaunt the high density of your hair than getting a blunt shoulder-length cut. The added weight of thick hair can help the haircut to lie smoothly by reducing any unwanted frizz or flyaways.
@kainandecanine
This no-fuss, super polished cut features one-length blunt ends that rest on the shoulders and a signature flip. It is clean and polished and has that understated beauty that enchants us in Scandinavian nature and interior design.
@sara_naples_hair
Although these cuts are usually styled prim and proper, they also lend themselves well to tousled looks. Use your flat iron to work in some bends into your hair, and spritz it with sea salt spray for texture.
@sarahmendoza_rosestudio
Just a handful of carefully placed balayage highlights can change your look completely. Warm-toned caramel and honey steaks blend well with the base color and accentuate the choppy ends of the haircut.
@alchemylabmadrid
We are positively smitten by this gorgeous hairstyle! The rich copper red shade, delicate natural waves, perfectly shaped bangs, lushness of the hair intensified by a blunt cut – everything speaks to our hearts!
@malloryhickshair
Love your natural color but want to add a sparkle to it? A lived-in color is a way to go. It works across all textures, bringing more dimension to the table. Plus, it grows out gracefully, eliminating the need for frequent touch-ups.
@joiewallacehair
Curtain bangs are a wonderful way to add visual interest to your hairstyle. They help to camouflage a wide forehead and create a flattering shape for round and heart-shaped faces.
@gutjahr_hairlounge
Sleek type 1A hair thrives in precise, graphic haircuts. Slightly shorter hair at the nape is just the perfect length to work with all types of collars. Angled toward the front, this haircut beautifully offsets the collarbone.
@albasantosbelleza
This hairstyle is soft and casually styled as if you’ve just flipped the hair to the side on the go. The dainty flippy ends add bounce and vigor to the look.
@alchemylabmadrid
This hairstyle gets a totally different feel with a few styling tweaks. Style it straight and subdued for everyday wear or add in fun and quirky waves for a special occasion.
@lucmuza
This hairstyle gets its bounce from the way it’s cut and styled. The heavier, blunt-cut bottom gains lots of body through the loose midshaft-to-ends waves.
@dontbejealyyourhairbyfeli
A collarbone-length cut is a great way to wander into the bob territory if you have long hair. You’ll get rid of split ends and refresh your lackluster locks in one snip. Leave a couple of shorter face-framing layers to ease your way into a new haircut.
@emjayys_touch
Natural coloring with seamless transitions has been all the rage over the past decade. Integrate it into your haircut through a root smudge. A colorist will apply a shade that is a tad lighter than your natural color on the root and smudge it down for about one inch.
@styledbychanning
Play up the smoothness and silkiness of your straight hair with a neat, one-length haircut. Avoid heavy, oily formulas in your hair care and styling products to skip limp and lifeless looks. Instead, opt for lightweight leave-in conditioners or serums.
@ainho.hairstylist
Transitional, lived-in colors look dazzling on shoulder-length hair! No harsh demarcation lines – it’s as if your hair naturally got lighter under the sun. A slightly tousled styling will emphasize the relaxed, summery feel.
@wavesofhairbyjayme
Fine hair can sometimes lack volume, so you might want to add subtle layers to give it some lift. Use volumizing products, like a mousse or a root lift spray, to give your hair body.
@hannahdelaneyhair
What a beautiful way to style a collarbone-length cut! With the ends subtly flipped up, the haircut looks dynamic and full of natural volume. Use a wide-barrel curling iron to create this voluptuous curve on your tips.
@cirlenemegastudio
A well-styled collarbone cut can refresh your look without any drastic change. The right shape, layering, and styling techniques make all the difference. Put-together or tousled, this versatile haircut can be dressed up or down, bringing movement and an air of sophistication to shoulder-length hair.
