No-shave style is upon us and it is sweeping anyone and almost everyone in its flurry. There are dense beards for an idealistically serious look and there are those random chops for an outrageous style.

While some of them do look a little brazen for your taste, others can add a touch of bohemianism to your personality. Check out what’s your style!

The Full Beard

In and out, in and out—the full beard look can win itself a place in Twitter-verse for teasing the trends relentlessly. The full beard look qualifies to be called classic that gives you an overwhelming presence. But of course, it requires some effort on your part to look tidy. If you don’t keep it well-cropped, there is nothing else that can make you look messier than this.

Light Or Short Beard

This is what you will see most men sporting. Compared to more contemporary styles of beard, short or light beard is easier to maintain. One of the reasons this look has such an appeal because it can go both ways–you can sport it with formal suit or with cool denims.

Moustache And Goatee

Another contemporary look that has gained a wide appeal among men. This part grumpy and part clean look can mostly be seen on leaner faces with a slim jawline. People with a darker complexion can be usually seen with this look as they don’t want thick or untrimmed facial hair to appear on their cheeks.

Circle Beard

The circle beard look has been there since 80’s and refuses to go away. Kurt Cobain was one of the personalities who revolutionized the look many years after it was already seen being sported. With this style, you don’t have hair on the cheek and most part of throat. It gets the name circle beard for making the face appear round.

Stubble

Stubble is an undated style that looks specifically great on men with a fair complexion. The scruff is sexy and it has ruled the past decade. It gives you slickness when you shave your throat clean while restricting the stubble on your face. Trimming it every day to keep it clean and not letting some hair growth to high is the key.

While there are styles which aren’t acceptable everywhere–in office especially–a stubble works almost everywhere. If clean shaven is not your cup of tea, we suggest you take a cue from us and get started!
