Beard styles and how you call them

If variety is the spice of life, a Full Beard gives you more than enough tastes to sample. Depending how you grow and trim it, your own Full Beard can look anything from classic to weird. Giant beards are intrepid. Medium and small ones are bold and cool.Assuming you can grow enough chin fur to play around with, and don’t mind being stared at as you walk down the street, here are your beard style options:

 

 

Short Boxed Beard

This is the traditional way of wearing a Full Beard. Your sideburns, mustache and beard combine to form an all-in-one display of masculinity. By shaving your upper cheeks and your neck and trimming the rest, you define the shape and keep the whole thing tidy. A classic beard look.
 

Long Beard

The accessory of choice for rock stars or extreme creatives, this one deserves to be worn with a confident gaze.Just remember to style your Long Beard, otherwise before you know it, it’s turned white and reached your knees. And people are calling you Gandalf.

French Fork Beard

Want a truly different look? Pirate Jack Sparrow has made this beard style cool again. And if you´re wondering about the name, it´s because French forks originally only had 2 prongs. As Jack would know, of course.

Stiletto beard

Rounded at the sides and perfectly pointed at the end, this style is harder to achieve than most men realize, but it looks great when combined with short hair. You may need some gel to shape your beard correctly into a kind of ducktail shape. You’ll know you’ve got it right when old ladies start throwing bread.

 

The Amish (Old Dutch) beard

Mostly worn by hyper-literate guys, this Full Beard is worn square and without a mustache. Sometimes the top of the chin is left bare too. This style is popular with the Amish, who speak Pennsylvanian Dutch – actually a dialect of German.

 

Klingon beard

“It’s a beard, Jim, but not as we know it.” Proof that watching too much Star Trek can play havoc with your facial hair choices.

 

Verdi beard

One of the coolest styles out there today, this is a short, round-bottomed beard named after the composer who wore it to write some of his best operas. You should wear your Verdi beard with slightly shaven cheeks to show off an interesting mustache.

 

Santa Beard

Is it real? Can I pull it? Not if you want any presents this Christmas.
