Whether you can’t be bothered shaving, you think a particular style looks edgy or you’re letting your beard grow to see what it looks like, it’s always important to find the best beard style for your face shape,
Although there are dozens of styles to choose from, we’re showcasing just a small selection of the beard styles that never seem to go out of fashion. Read on to find out more!
Verdi
This is an example of a full, long and well-groomed beard which always features an English moustache. It adds style and affords a certain extravagance which hipsters find simply irresistible.
What’s good about this style? It suits any face shape.
And not so good? You have to groom it constantly so that it loses none of its magnificence.
Stubble
While some men find this style attractive, others consider it to be scruffy. Having said that, it remains one of the most popular beard styles for men who are turned off by the bushy-beard and clean-shaven looks.
All you need to do is let your facial hair grow for 2 or 3 days (until the stubble reaches approximately half a centimetre) in the desired area and you’re all set.
This style of beard suits oval/slightly elongated faces down to the ground.
Goatee
This beard, which can be styled in many different ways, is characterised by its versatility.
The style you choose e.g. thin or thick, geometric, connected to or separated from a moustache… makes no difference as the goatee will always add a certain sophistication and elegance to your appearance.
What’s more, if your face is wide or circular, this style will help to define and even enhance your features.
Medium-length full beard
This is the sort of beard style that suits all face shapes.
The hair covers the whole area and the sides are normally shaped and maintained in such a way so as to form sideburns.
The beards are also characterised by their length which is neither long nor short, and distinguishable in that they are very-well trimmed and carefully defined. This involves constant grooming to make sure that the beard is always at just the right length.
Long beard
If you have thick facial hair and are partial to a rugged look, this is the beard for you.
It would ideally be thick and bushy, and the length is entirely up to you.
If you’re into the biker look, grow it long and combine it with a horseshoe moustache.
If you’d prefer something a little less extravagant, cut the sides and tip for a smarter look.
This beard is particularly suited to wide and round faces as it helps to enhance the features.
This is just a small sample of the countless styles of beard out there. Have you found yours yet?
