Rock Around the Clock
Originally the bad boy look of the 1950s, the pompadour may never go out of style
by Mary Barthelme Abel
Featuring sleek sides and a voluminous top, the hairstyle that defined Elvis, James
Dean, and bad boys everywhere may well be the ultimate classic contemporary
hairstyle for men. The pompadour: Its simple dimensions, head-turning impact,
and infinite versatility keep it in the forefront of men's hairstyles.
The pompadour's timeless appeal may be due to its ability to look well-
groomed, masculine, and edgy—all at the same time. Because of this, rocking a
pompadour is a still great option for any gent who wants some debonair flair.
