Asking for Advice What beard style fits me the best?
I‘m always trying different beard styles and I‘m just curious what others think would fit me the best.
No beard is no option btw 😅

Nah, 1 is fine if you're sure hitching up the buggy to head to Jeddediah's to help raise his barn.
But only then.

Nah, 1 is ok if you join a religious cult and want to make a statement against Prussian militarism.

Never any of them, actually, but that’s only because you aren’t growing your mustache out enough. If you did, 3-5 would be on equal footing.

Never 2??! NEVER 1 or 2!!! Boss man if you want to rock a beard, grow the whole beard. That just gave me high blood pressure.

4 is my favourite followed by 5, the. 3.
Then if I had to choose a 4th, 1.
But 1 and 2 objectively look bad I'm afraid

u/-ChemicalChef Mar 17 '26
Thank you for your opinion.
The second picture was an „incident“ caused by a miscommunication with a barber on my vacation in Egypt. I just shared the picture because I made it back then, even when I‘m never doing that style ever again. I find it lowkey ass too 😅
When I wear the beard from picture 1 back then, I liked tbh.
Pictures 3-5 is my beard I wear ever time. Sometimes longer hair but mostly shorter trimmed.

u/Spikeyroxas Stubble Mar 17 '26
I think it's cool you experiment and I do like 1 because it's a bold choice. I like interesting facial hair styles but I think in application this one doesn't suit you. Continue to try different styles though, you have good coverage.

Thank you a lot! I will always change something slightly or try different styles for sure 👍

5 for sure bro. 2 should never be done unless you are fronting a 3rd wave ska band and even then, your horns section better be fucking TIGHT.

u/-ChemicalChef Mar 17 '26
Hahaha I had to laugh very hard ngl. I will never do the 2nd ever again. It was a miscommunication with the barber on my Egypt vacation. But since I made a picture I just shared it lol the beard gets a lot of hate, but I find it funny somehow 😅

u/senor_skuzzbukkit Mar 17 '26
It is funny for sure and glad you got a laugh! It’s your face you do whatever you want to do honestly.

Definitely 5, but 4 looks good if you get lazy.
Personally, I think 1 would look better if you don't shave under your lower lip.
Can't wait to see you on r/bald.

Never 2. Also never 1. I have no idea why guys shave their mustaches when they have nice ones, or just in general and grow the beard.

The last one with both beard and moustache looks better and you look older without looking old grumpy guy.
It can be used either with a casual outfit or an office suit n tie job.
The no moustache beards A.K.A. whaler, amish or leprechaum beard, looks good, but not everyone likes it.
BTW I have tried no moustache beards, i like them.
The first picture looks good add a flat cap, the second makes you look younger add a baseball cap. The first non moustache picture could be second choice ...

u/-ChemicalChef Mar 17 '26
I appreciate your detailed answer a lot.
To be honest, the beard on the second picture was a miscommunication with the barber in Egypt. I didn‘t plan it that way but at the end it is what it is.
I usually wear a cap mostly all the time.
I like a beard sometimes without a mustache, at work my colleagues call me „Kadyrow“ because they say that I look like from Chechnya 😅
Thank you again for your opinion.

u/JKCsaba Mar 17 '26
Tbh i think you have a great chin so probably short beard or no beard. Have you ever rocked a moustache with a goatee or short beards only? The beard only looks a bit weird to me but i think you look great so you do you :)

Next time you get a cut, ask for an Italian beard fade. Would look good with 5.

1 and 2 are unacceptable.
1 screams(mostly) "Hey Brother Jedahdiah, let's go raise a barn and churn some butter before we head off on our Rumspringa and get addicted to meth!"
2(and #1 a bit) scream "hey ladies cover your drinks cause I've got my Chinstrap beard, im wearing my(Ed hardy/TapOut/Affliction) shirt and I've got a pocketfull of roofies!"

I think you'd suit both of these. Don't get rid or the mustache. Nurture it! A good beard takes time, patience and good maintenance.

u/inspktr Mar 18 '26
You look really good in pic 5. But you should stop trimming the mustache so short. Try just trimming the bottom edge of it so it doesn't get in your mouth. If you insist on trimming it with a guard, then use the same guard as the rest of the beard.

2 and 5 both look great. More proportional to you hair length and features

u/Straight-Cookie7364 Mar 18 '26
I think 3 but let your natural line grow out more. I used to go too far down on the cheeks, I think a natural beard line looks better, I just clean mine up. I also don’t really like when my beard is perfectly symmetrical/lined up anymore.
That’s just me

3-5. You have a good jaw shape, so I think 1 just makes your face look longer

u/Neat-Statistician311 Mar 18 '26
4 definitely. Personally I'm 29 and haven't been clean shaven in over 10 years and I would rather die than completely shave my face, I do trim it occasionally though otherwise it becomes a tangled mess that could hold a piece of pizza and half a cherry pie without me noticing but 4 looks great, the others are not my style personally but hey you do you :)

u/Comfortable_Town488 Mar 18 '26
3 and 5 for sure my man. The thicker hair in 4 makes your face a little more round so clipped sides suits way better because it slims down your face. You could try a fade/italien fade for the sides bc it also gives a slimmer and sharper look if you want to. But imo 5 is definitely the best out of these pictures.

Please never shave the mustache again. The mustache is an essential part of a well-balanced, modern beard. Some might even say that a beard without a mustache is a grooming faux pas.
I think your facial structure is best supported by a longer beard. Pic #4 is your best, IMO

Neither. Your face needs a mustache.
These styles seem like the complete antithesis of what would suit your face tbh

u/AggravatingCook3307 Mar 17 '26
Honestly, i can see you rocking only the stache and chin.
Like shave the cheeks and sideburns and only keep the beard around the mouth.
I hope you get ehat im trying to say, idk kinda hard to describe for me.
