Suranne Jones Makes a Convincing Case for the Collarbone Bob

I've never really believed in the concept of a jack of all trades. Something or someone that's somehow good at everything? Suspicious – nay, impossible! That was until I met the collarbone bob. consider me a convert.

Suranne Jones Showcases the Chic Hairstyle

Suranne Jones is the latest celebrity to make a very convincing case for the cut, showing off her look in a recent Instagram post alongside the caption, "Back to school ?," hinting at the series 3 release of Vigil, coming Sunday 30 August. And while we're obviously here for the telly, it was her very chic in-between haircut that caught our attention.

As its name would suggest – and as Suranne's 'do demonstrates so beautifully – the collarbone bob is a cut that lands somewhere between the chin and the collarbone, either blunt or with soft, subtle layers. Now, unlike the traditional bob that we all know and love – which, FYI, generally stops around the jaw – this longer iteration gives you considerably more wiggle room. It can be swept into a low ponytail (see Suranne's interpretation below), worn loose or styled in curls, waves or poker-straight lengths.

Centre parting? Fine. Side parting? Also fine. Fringe? Go forth. It really is the haircut that can do it all. And the best part is that it suits pretty much every face shape. The length can soften sharper angles, while strategic layers can add height, movement or fullness. Not to mention that those folks with fine hair can benefit from the illusion of density, should you opt for a blunt finish.
