Beard Trends
It’s hard to keep up with the latest trends for men. Crockett & Co. goes above and beyond to keep you looking fresh, and in style. With so many different looks out there it’s important to have a stylist that recognizes the styles best suited to your face and aesthetic.
So where to start? Here’s our top 5 right now!
The Short Beard
There’s hardly a man with beard who wouldn’t be able to pull off the short beard styles. Exceptionally universal, not only do they suit any face shape but are also appropriate for any occasion, whether formal or informal; thus, the short beard looks organically either in the office or on a night out. If you’re really willing to extend the boundaries, try wearing a short beard without a mustache, which will look provocative yet smart.
2. Faded Beard
You already know all about faded haircuts in men’s barbering, which means it’s time to incorporate that same technique into your beard. Instead of keeping it all one length, your barber will gently taper the hair closer to your scalp right around the sideburns. If you already have a fade from the top of your head, it only makes sense to blend the two into a cohesive look.
3. Rounded Beard
If you want a long beard that’s a bit more precise, ask your barber for a rounded beard. The rounded beard features a gentle curvature along the bottom edge of your facial hair, creating a more polished look that’s completely wearable for the office.
4. Ducktail Beard
Masculine and stylish, these are two ways to describe the ducktail beard. It is a full beard that resembles a duck’s tail, hence the name. The style tends to have a pointed appearance at the chin and looks best when worn between two to four inches. It is flattering on most face shapes and can be adapted slightly to suit your preference, with varying thicknesses. The beauty of the ducktail beard is that it can have a very sophisticated finish and is easier to wear than some of the more daring styles. That said, the precision of the look makes it a little more maintenance. You will have to regularly groom your beard to have it looking its best.
5. Chevron Beard
Beards are sexy and cool, but some are more difficult to grow and maintain. The Chevron mustache is one of the easier options to try out and can make a subtle statement with minimal effort. The style features thick facial hair covering the top lip. It can angle downwards at the corners of the lip but has a very natural appearance. This is the focus of your look because the rest of the face is clean-shaven or has only a little stubble; the contrast will draw even more attention to your lips. This facial hair has a decidedly 80s feel, but you can modernize it with how you choose to wear your hair.
