"Ladies, I am in love. With center-parted bangs. They&amp;#x27;re basically the next most romantic thing to packing up and moving to Paris. How did I never really pay attention to them before?We briefly discussed them a few years ago when I posted this photo of Mandy Moore (at that time, 69 percent of you said center-parted bangs are a &amp;quot;Do&amp;quot;, although they have to work with your face shape and be properly styled). But more recently I got to really fixating on them when admiring Alexa Chung&amp;#x27;s hair. She often center-parts her bangs.

Felicity Jones has worn her bangs parted in the middle too.

Behold, center-parted bangs on classic French beauties Brigitte Bardot and Catherine Deneuve.

Source: lisaeldridge.com via Petra on Pinterest Now, I&amp;#x27;m not saying everyone can pull these off, but isn&amp;#x27;t this look a sophisticated alternative to the ubiquitous/trendy sideswept bang? The trick to pulling off center-parted bangs: They need to swoop outward toward your temples, not limply hang down, and they should ideally be slightly tousled so as not to look too neat and planned. And obviously they need to work with your face shape. I think my face is too square for them, alas. How many of you would wear your bangs center-parted--or are doing so already? Which of the above hairstyles do you like the most? Photos: Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
