A crew cut is a short hairstyle typically worn by men, characterized by hair that is cut very short on the sides and back while leaving slightly longer hair on top. This style is easy to maintain and often associated with military personnel, as it provides a clean and neat appearance. The crew cut can vary in length and style, with some variations including the buzz cut and the Ivy League cut. It is popular among individuals seeking a low-maintenance look that still appears polished and professional.
