THAT Brooksian Haircut...
Nothing 'youth subcultural', it's the old Cavalry Officer's cut again (pretty much) just with a (very) little more volume.
No on the left, Yes on the right: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_aUE6s--Cm-A/SvAdwp1pxII/AAAAAAAADeM/WzEJ2YBEj5U/s1600-h/BBAutumn1989c.jpg
^ And the differences between the two are everything.
This haircut haunts my old catalogues & I'll return to all this later. The Pic above is from one of HTJ's old scans. '89.

It's the old chestnut of how to make 'square' look 'cool' I reckon, which does remain of interest of course. Keep 'em coming, please

Those 'side flicks' are called wings, btw.

I'm sure Wogan thinks he's got the suss too. Don't tell me Uncle, I just don't 'get 'it do I?
I bet the guy from The flock of seagulls thought he had the suss too and everyone else just didn't 'get' it.
It was still a shit haircut. Don't give in to the flicks kids!

That gut from the Flock of Seagulls put all his earnings immediately into buying a boat yard in Florida, they were one hit wonders on purpose. He was sussed in every sense of the word.

Except sartorially. And a lot of people feel that's all that matters...

Re: THAT Brooksian Haircut...
The haircut is a crucial element indeed. Opting for a college-boy can have a bit of a reactionary effect, I mean : spikey hair on a middle aged man who hasn't got that much left anyway ? Fathers sporting some silly teenage haircut because they think they are part of the 'forever young' bigade and all that. A decent haircut is one way of expressing you're way above such nonsense. Well, that's the kinda thought behind it that appeals to me anyway
