Choosing the Right Beard Style to Suit Your Personality and Face Shape

As it allows those who wear it to better assert their personality and style, the beard has over time become a true fashion accessory.

Like a hairstyle, the style of beard that a man adopts can suit him or not. So, if you have finally decided to grow your beard and have no idea what style would suit you best, then you are in the right place.

Here are some tips that will help you choose the style that corresponds to your personality and face.

During the selection of your style, you will have a choice of a multitude of options. To make it easier for you, we will only focus on the most popular styles currently in vogue.

So, if you do not have a lot of hair growth or if you cannot imagine yourself with an imposing beard, then you can opt for the three-day beard, the sculpted beard, the stubble, or the short beard. The anchor and the soul patch (or the postage stamp) are also styles that could suit you.

If, on the other hand, you have a lot of hair growth and want to showcase it, then the following styles could suit you: the TSEPA beard and the Nicholas II beard.

To make sure that the type of beard that interests you really enhances your appearance, it is essential to take into account the shape of your face before making a final choice.

Choosing According to the Shape of Your Face

There are obviously different face shapes, namely: round, square, oval, or inverted triangle/rectangle. If you have a round face, then it is essential that the style you choose helps to refine it.

To do this, opt for a beard that requires angular and straight demarcations from the jaw to the cheekbones. On the other hand, avoid thick mustaches and volume on the cheeks, as this could accentuate the roundness of the cheeks even more.

The anchor-shaped beard or the short beard would be perfect for round faces. The square face, on the other hand, is characterized by a prominent jaw and a chin as wide as the forehead. The features on the forehead and cheekbones are also more pronounced.

For a successful enhancement of such a face, it is recommended to trim the beard precisely along the cheekbone lines. You can also keep a short beard on the sides and leave it slightly thicker on the chin.

This will allow you to better take advantage of the square shape of the jaw. As for the types of beard that are suitable for this face shape, we can mention the goatee and the soul patch.

The oval face, on the other hand, is distinguished by a wide jaw and cheekbones. With such a face, you can opt for almost any beard styles that interest you.

For a better effect, however, choose a style that adds volume to the jaw. Avoid overly long beards to avoid excessively elongating your face. A three-day beard, for example, is an ideal style for an oval face.

As for the rectangular face, whose particularity is that the cheekbones are less wide than the jaw, it is recommended to soften the face by opting for a trimmed goatee or soul patch. It is also possible to assert your masculinity with a short beard that follows the line of the jaw.
