Australia’s love affair with the mullet – BBC News


The mullet hairstyle rose in prominence in the ’70s and ’80s to become a symbol of Australian culture and identity.

Now it has seen a global resurgence – and Australia has been particularly enthusiastic about its return.

Fashion expert Ailsa Weaver said Australians love mullets because they consider themselves to be larrikins.

A larrikin nowadays is thought of as a cheeky rule breaker, but in the 1800s larrikins were urban, working class youth gangs who used fashion as a form of rebellion.

"The mullet really can be seen in Australia to be a descendant from the extreme, self-made hairstyles of the larrikins," said Ms Weaver.
