Von Sander - The Beardmen Is your beard an important part of your styling? Maybe you’re already convinced which beard style suits you best. Are you still looking for it or do you just want to try something different? The Beardmen tells you about the most popular beard styles. Lots of inspiration for your beard style!
When trying them out, however, you should bear in mind that certain styles suit certain face shapes particularly well. Similarly, some beard styles are ideal for men with strong beard growth, while other styles are more suitable for men whose facial hair is less dense.
1. The three-day beard
Let’s start with a well-known beard style. Almost every man has walked around with a three-day beard, whether he did it on purpose or not. The idea of this style is that you don’t shave for three days, leaving your stubble standing. These are up to three millimetres long after three days. Your facial hair is the same length everywhere. A perfect beard model for those who are looking for a style that requires little effort! For this model, however, it makes sense to buy a good trimmer.
2. The Ten-Day Beard
If you know what a three-day beard is, then you know what a ten-day beard is. That’s right: not shaving for ten days. This style of beard is one of the most popular among men. It requires very little maintenance and most women find strong stubble very attractive. A win-win situation! Keep in mind, however, that this style looks best when you have a full beard.
3. The Ringlet Beard
If you opt for a ring beard, you wear a beard around the area of your mouth and chin. You grow a moustache and a beard on your chin so that there is a close connection between the two. Together they form a circle. You shave off the whiskers on your cheeks and your sideburns. The ring beard is a popular model and also a great solution for men who have little beard growth on their cheeks.

4. The Stiletto Beard
The name of this beard style might make you think that it’s a pretty sophisticated look. And that’s right! It also takes some effort and practice to create a beautiful stiletto beard. This type of beard differs from many other styles in that the beard hair ends at a central point. A large part of your cheeks are visible: you run your beard hair from your temples to below the corners of your mouth. Your moustache connects to this point.
5. The Balbo Beard
The name of this beard style must sound very Italian to your ears, and guess what: it is. This beard covers a small part of your face. It covers your chin and the lower edges of your face, but leaves your cheeks exposed. Optionally, you can combine it with your sideburns. This type of beard also includes a moustache. Since your beard is low and you do not connect it to your moustache, it is called a floating moustache. The moustache is wider than your lips.
6. The Duck’s Tail
If you translate this beard style literally, you come up with the word “ducktail”. Doesn’t that mean anything to you yet? Then think of Donald Duck’s little tail. The ducktail has a shape that looks suspiciously like him. In fact, this beard is pointed at the chin and a few centimetres longer than your chin. You only let your whiskers grow this long on your chin. Your moustache, cheeks and sideburns are much shorter.
7. The Ruffled Beard
The Boxed Beard owes its name to the fact that it has sharp contours. This gives you a particularly masculine look. The length of your Boxed Beard is up to you, as long as it is the same length throughout the beard. Your neck is shaved smooth so that your Adam’s apple remains clearly visible. Your beard also has a sharp border on your cheeks.
8. The Van Dyke
There was once….. a Flemish painter who became almost as famous for his beard style as for his works. He had a pointed chin beard and a moustache that were not connected. Incidentally, chin beard is perhaps a bit too big a word, because with the Van Dyke it is more of a goatee. The big difference with the ring beard is that the moustache does not continue, whereas a ring beard does. Do you have a round face and want to add some contour? Then this beard is worth a try.
9. The Chin Strap
The chinstrap is a beard with a very limited width: in fact, you only leave your beard hair around your chin and jawline. A kind of band or line across your chin, in other words. In the past, many men opted for a very thin line, but today it is often at least two centimetres wide. As you might imagine, a beard like this requires absolute precision work!
10. Chevron moustache
Well, maybe a bit strange, because after all we are talking about beards here. Nevertheless, I think the chevron mustache should not be missing from the list. If you’ve always shaved and are now thinking about facial hair, the chevron mustache – like the three-day beard and the ten-day beard, by the way – is a good place to start. This moustache stretches across the entire width of your upper lip and is easy to create.
11. The Stubble
The Beardstache is a style that combines a moustache and a beard. It differs from a three-day beard or a ten-day beard in that the moustache and the beard are not the same length. In fact, your moustache is much more prominent. Not only because you grow it longer, but also because it is wider than your mouth. The beard, on the other hand, is stubble. Actually, the Beardstache is best described as a chevron moustache combined with stubble.
12. The Anchor Beard
The last in this list of beard models is the Anchor Beard. Here the moustache and the beard are not connected. The Anchor Beard is a chin beard that starts narrowly under the lower lip and widens towards the chin. On both sides, you then let your beard run back up to the corners of your mouth. This creates an anchor. Leave some space between the ends of the “anchor” and your moustache.
