Clean-Shaven
A clean shave is a timeless classic look that won’t go out of fashion soon. Men with sharp, squared features often look their best with clean-shaven faces. One study discovered that women rated clean-shaven men higher for social skills than their bearded counterparts.
Stubble
When carefully groomed, stubble can give your face an inherently masculine aesthetic. It can help men who don’t suit full beards avoid the “baby-face” look. Shave your neck and cheek lines before shaping whiskers with a trimmer for optimal results. Use beard oil to promote growth and prevent razor burn.
Full Beard
The full beard style has a rugged, masculine aesthetic. It requires more time to shape than a clean-shaven look but offers more real estate for maintenance. Full beards can work well on most facial structures as long as their thickness is evenly distributed.
Verdi
The Verdi beard style, made famous by Italian opera composer Giuseppe Verdi, exudes distinction and elegance. It is ideal for men with heart or diamond-shaped faces and patchy beards. Mustaches must be appropriately groomed and connected to the beard. The lower cheeks and chin should appear slightly thicker than the rest of the face.
Chevron
The chevron mustache is an inverted V-shaped style that frames the upper lip and is a beloved fashion trend among celebrities. The walrus mustache, a chevron variation, is an extravagant version with long and drooping hairs, complementing round faces best. Both styles are simple to grow and maintain.
