Beard Styles for Men
From clean stubble to full beards, goatees to designer styles - explore every beard option and find the perfect style for your face shape and lifestyle.
Beard Style Categories
Beard styles fall into several main categories. Understanding these helps you find your ideal look.
Full Beards
Complete facial hair coverage including cheeks, chin, and mustache. The classic masculine look.
Goatees
Focused on the chin and mouth area with clean cheeks. Our specialty at Goatee.io.
Stubble
Short, maintained facial hair growth. From 5 o'clock shadow to designer stubble.
Mustache Styles
Focus on the upper lip with various shapes from handlebar to chevron.
Combination Styles
Hybrid styles that combine elements like mustache with chin beard.
Minimal Styles
Subtle options like soul patches and chin straps for understated looks.
Goatee Styles
Goatees are some of the most versatile and flattering facial hair styles. Here are the most popular.
Full Goatee / Circle Beard
Mustache connected to chin beard. The most popular goatee style, flattering for most face shapes.
Classic Goatee
Chin beard only without mustache. Clean, professional, and timeless.
Van Dyke
Pointed goatee with disconnected mustache. Sophisticated and distinguished.
Anchor Beard
Shaped like a ship's anchor with chin point and jawline detail. Precise and stylish.
Full Beard Styles
For those who want fuller facial hair, these styles offer complete coverage.
Full Beard
Natural full growth with maintained edges. The classic 'lumberjack' or 'yeard' look.
Short Box Beard
Full coverage kept short and squared. Professional yet substantial.
Garibaldi
Wide, rounded full beard. Named after the Italian general. Bold and commanding.
Bandholz
Long, natural full beard with grown-out mustache. The ultimate beard commitment.
Stubble Styles
Stubble offers the look of facial hair without the commitment of a full beard.
5 O'Clock Shadow
Very short stubble (0.5-1mm). The 'just forgot to shave' look that many find attractive.
Designer Stubble
Maintained stubble at 2-3mm. Deliberate and groomed, not accidental.
Heavy Stubble
4-5mm stubble, approaching short beard territory. Rugged yet maintained.
Stubble with Clean Lines
Stubble with defined cheek and neck lines. The best of both worlds.
Best Beard for Your Face Shape
Different face shapes suit different beard styles. Find your perfect match.
Round Face
Go for angular styles: Van Dyke, pointed goatee, or beards with more length on the chin. Avoid round, full beards.
Square Face
Softer, rounder beard styles work well: circle goatee, rounded full beard. Keep the sides shorter.
Oval Face
The ideal face shape for any beard style. Experiment freely - you can pull off almost anything.
Heart/Triangle Face
Add width to the chin: full goatees, wide beards, or styles with more chin coverage.
