The Beardstache

Perhaps the opposite of a goatee in its effect, there’s something quite primal and masculine about the beardstache. It’s pronounced and quite over-the-top, and leaves little room for subtlety. However, if done right, it can give you an impressive rugged and imposing look, perfect for a groom who wants to catch the eye of his guests instead of merely fading into the background of his own wedding.

Styles: balbo, extended goatee, goatee and moustache, full beard.
Suits: triangular, inverted triangle, diamond, square and rectangular faces.

The Lumberjack Beard

You don’t have to be a lumbergay to rock this beard, because it’s a style that can fit anyone. Often associated with lumberjacks (and now hipsters who drink coffee out of avocados), they are similar to the beardstache, but more contained and organised.

The Full Beard

And finally, the most extreme of beard styles – the full beard. Don’t kid yourself, there’s something crazy about this beard. They can be the height of a small child, cover your face almost completely, and if cartoons are anything to go by, they might even carry the odd creature; but, as handy for storage as they maybe, IKEA hasn’t stocked any yet and they’re also a pain to maintain. Yet no other beard is more striking or memorable.

Styles: full beard.
Suits: rectangular and diamond shaped faces.
