    The Best Beard Styles for Every Different Face Shape

    The Best Beard Styles for Every Different Face Shape

    Have you been experimenting with different beard styles and have no idea which beard style is really for you? Well, you are not the only one. Choosing the right beard style, although challenging, can really refine your looks and add the much-needed sophistication to your personality.
    However, for that, you’ll need to try a beard that really compliments your facial features and symmetry. If that sounds something new to you, keep reading as we dive into discussing the seven main face shapes and which types of beards suit each.
    Identity your face, and try out one of our suggestions that you like the most.
    Let’s jump in!

    How do you know your face shape?

    Identifying your face shape is the single most important thing before you go on to choose what type of beard is going to suit you. Although every face is different, there are seven primary types. Which one is yours? Well, that will require some simple measurements, such as:

    • Your face length from the hairline to the bottom of the chin.
    • Your forehead from the outer edge of one eyebrow to another.
    • Your cheekbones from the outer corner of each eye to the other across the bridge of the nose.
    • Your jawline from the bottom of your chin to the sharpest angle upwards.

    Based on the aforementioned measurements, your face shape could be one of the following types:

     

    1. Square Face Shape

    • If your jaw is sharp and wide and all the other measurements are similar, you have a square face shape.

     

    2.Round Face Shape

    • If your jawline is softer and the measurements of your face and cheekbones are the same, then you have a round face.

     

    3.Rectangular Face Shape

    • If your face length measures greater than your jawline and cheekbones, then you have a rectangular face.

     

    4.Oval Face Shape

    • If your face length is longer than the width of your cheekbones and your jaw is round, then you have an oval face.

     

    5.Diamond Face Shape

    • If your face length is the biggest, followed by the length of your cheekbones, forehead, and jawline, along with a pointed chin, then you have a diamond face shape.

     

    6.Triangle Face Shape

    • If your cheekbones are wider than your forehead and your jawline measures longer than your cheekbones, then you have a triangle face shape.

     

    7.Heart Face Shape

    • If your chin is pointed and your forehead measures longer than your cheekbones and jawline, with the chi being pointed, you have a heart shape.

     

    Which Beard Style Suits Your Face Shape?

    At this point, we assume you will have identified what your face shape is. Now let’s have a look at what beard style will suit your face shape the best:

    Beard styles for square face shape

    • If you have a square face shape, you already have a chiseled jawline that you don’t want to exaggerate with overlay sharp beard styles. What you need is something that softens the angles of your face and creates the perfect harmony between sharpness and subtleness. A goatee, for example, can be an excellent choice. The rounded look of goatee softens the sharp angles of your face to create a harmonious look. A short, rounded beard or a well-groomed full beard would also work great.

    Beard styles for round face shape

    • Contrary to the square face shape, a round face requires a beard style that accentuates your facial features. So what you will be looking for are beard styles that are relatively pointy and that elongate your face. One of the best styles you can sport in this category is the Van Dyke beards—a variation of the goatee with a pointed chin and an elongated moustache. You can also go for a medium-style beard like the anchor beard or a chin strap if you’re into bold beard styles.

    Best beard styles for rectangular face shapes

    • Nothing suits the rectangular face shape like a hipster beard—a long, sleek, polished, thick beard that can’t look bad on anyone. However, keep in mind that your beard will need at least a month of growing out and regular barber visits to keep it polished and in good length. Although an old beard style, a chip strap is another good option for you that accentuates your jawline. However, that’s only if you have all the hard lines on your jaw. It doesn’t really look good if your jawline is not defined enough beforehand.

    Best beard styles for oval face shapes

    • Generally, every single beard style perfectly fits the oval face since there’s nothing that could make your face look squashed or overlay angular like a rectangular and round face. If you have a round face, you could keep any sort of beard style, from a short stubble beard to an extremely bold Viking beard, and nothing would look out of place.

    Best beard styles for diamond face shape

    • If you have a diamond-shaped face, we recommend going for a short beard like those for the oval face shape. That’s because diamond face shapes generally have the best symmetry, and keeping a long beard would just hide it. However, if you are still vehement on keeping a long beard, you would most probably need a beard style that rounds out your chin. For example, you could go for a Garibaldi, the classic full-face beard, or a verdi for a more classic look.

    Best beard styles for triangle face shape

    • Triangle face shape is also one of those that can rock any beard style without having to care about all the subtle technicalities of angles and shape. Short bead, long beard, mid-size beard—nothing could really go wrong. Just make sure to keep the beard a little rounder down at the chin to soften the pointiness. Short-boxed beards also work well to give you an amazing framing that accentuates your facial symmetry. Everything suits a triangle face!

    Best beard styles for heart face shape

    • For a heart-shaped face, you want to keep your beard trimmed short at the upper side, tapering it long towards the chin to make your face look longer—much like a Garibaldi. Although you can also sport short beards if that’s what you prefer, growing your beard out is really the way you should do it. It looks the best!

    Conclusion

    While you can style any beard that you like for yourself, going for something that sits well on your face really is the way to go. Still everyone is unique, and sometimes a beard style that doesn’t work for the majority suits some people perfectly. If you think you’re one of those, there’s much you can try out! There’s nothing wrong with experimenting anyway.
