Hey guys, good news! There’s a new and improved toupee on the market. Let’s get real here, we all know that it’s rather easy to spot a toupee. Even the best ones are very hard to hide. It doesn’t take a trained detective to see the tell tale signs.

You can tell that it’s a toupee usually by the sheer thickness of the hair. Mostly because there is no hairline or a natural part in it where you can see the scalp.

That has always been the challenge with wigs and toupee’s. A good wig on a woman is easier to hide or blend in because of the length of the hair or the style of it.

Toupee or toupee

This is the biggest news for bald men since the shaved-head look came into style:  TOUPEES are back in a big way.  “The New York Post” did a write-up on how “hyper-realistic” ones are the hottest new “FLEX.”

 

They’ve gotten a lot better since their heyday in the ’80s.  The good ones use real hair that’s stitched into a piece of polyester thin enough to sweat through.

 

They glue it to your scalp and give you the exact haircut you want.  You can shower in it and go six months before it needs to be reapplied.  (Here’s a video.)

 

The downside is they’re not cheap.  Good ones cost several thousand dollars, and even those don’t last long.  You might need a new toupee every year or two.

 

That’s still cheaper than a hair transplant though, especially if you’re fully bald.  And there a growing movement to normalize it.  So eventually, “wigs for men” might not seem weird at all.

 

You can already find guys online bragging about how good their toupee looks.  So it’s less about hiding your baldness now, and more about owning it.

As fashion continues to evolve, we can expect to witness more of these delightful comebacks, creating a blend of nostalgia and innovation that defines the essence of contemporary style.

Check out these six nostalgic fashion trends that have made a stylish comeback and are finding their way into the closets of fashion enthusiasts.

  • Chunky Shoes

    During the 1980s, sneakers took center stage as the go-to footwear choice, according to Complex magazine. They are often paired with Levi’s jeans or a fun skirt. Today, this trend has experienced a remarkable resurgence, with prominent designer brands like Yeezy and Gucci introducing some of the chunkiest and most fashionable shoes to date. Olivia Rodrigo seems to appreciate the trend’s return.

  • White Boots

    According to Harper’s Bazaar, some key styles to keep an eye on include the timeless ankle boot, a modern take on the classic cowboy boot, lace-up designs, and versatile platform boots. These fashion-forward options come in various shades of white, vanilla, and cream, perfect for everyday dressing. You’ll even spot celebs like Rihanna rocking a pair of white boots while scrolling social media.

  • Cargo Pants

    Gone are the cargo pants and shorts from the ’90s that might have caused some embarrassment. Instead, the revamped cargo pants of today are sleek, form-fitting, and exude an edgy vibe. Embracing a slim-fit design, these cargo pants can be effortlessly paired with stylish sneakers and graphic tees. It’s a “nostalgia for the styles from back in the early 2000s that Gen Z tends to be gravitating towards,” Liz Teich, a New York-based stylist, told The Post.

  • Scrunchies

    The tight, elastic hair bands of the past are gradually being replaced by a gentler and more delicate option – scrunchies! The resurgence of scrunchies has gained popularity among both celebrities and the general public. Not only are these hair ties a fashion hit, but they also prove to be much healthier for your hair compared to traditional elastic bands. Scrunchies minimize hair friction and breakage while avoiding unsightly bends in your hair after being tied up. This revival has garnered support from celebrities like Hailey Bieber, Bella Hadid, and Khushi Kapoor, who have been spotted sporting this trendy accessory.

To create different looks, you can pair them with crop tops, socks, and loafers for a chic denim or chino style, or opt for tank tops and strappy heels to rock the leather versions. Embrace a preppy, glamorous, or retro aesthetic to perfectly complement these stylish skirts.
