Top beard styles for men
Goatee
The Goatee beard is a strong, masculine look that when crafted right, adds a defined, chiseled quality to faces that tend to be wider, rather than narrow; such as the round face shape and the square face shape. The Goatee draws attention to the chin and jaw area, focusing the eye and giving the illusion of a more balanced face.
How to styleStubble
The Stubble beard look ticks every beard box there is. It’s quick, easy, and a risk-free way to sharpen your look without needing to transform it. It’s also the one beard style that compliments every kind of face shape there is. From the diamond face shape and the rectangle face shape, to the oval face shape, literally all of them are complimented with a well looked-after stubble beard. It works in complementing these kinds of round face shapes- such as the oblong face shape, as the stubble beard style doesn’t add any extra width to the sides of your face.
How to styleMoustache
The Moustache is an unmistakably strong beard style that denotes confidence for any face shape. However, an oval face shape tends to suit this classic beard style best, as styles that fill out the cheek and moustache area balance nicely with a longer forehead and chin.
How to styleChinstrap
Like all the best classics, the Chin Strap is one of those old facial hair styles that keeps on coming back, time and time again. As a style that tends to soften the angles of your face, it naturally fits well with the rectangle face shape, the oval face shape and the round face shape.
