The beard growing trend is completely in vogue as we approach 'No-shave-November'. However, with so many beard types now doing the rounds, it's not always apparent which beard is best. However, we have compiled a list of beard styles for your ideal face shape. Have a look below and see what suits you best.

Face shapes

Oblong/Rectangular

People with an oblong/rectangular face structure have a long face and wide cheekbones. They usually have a deep, square chin too. For you, a beard that makes your face appear fuller is the best option. Go for a horseshoe moustache or a chevron moustache. You can also try and combine to add some volume to the lower half of your face. 

Oval

The oval face shape is regarded as the ideal shape for the modern hetero-male. It is a nice middle ground between all face types and is perfect for experimenting with different facial hairstyles. However, you could opt for a short beard with a slight defined stubble for definition.

Round

Men with round face have a wide jawline, cheekbones, and a short chin. You can create a more prominent chin by sporting a beard that places emphasis on your chin. Men can try rocking beards that are shorter on their cheeks and longer on the chin. However, you must avoid long beards, as it will only make your face appear rounder.

Square

Men who have a square face shape usually have a strong, square jaw like many of the models and actors in Hollywood. You will require beards that highlight your strong jawline. Men with square face could also opt for a beard with right-angles. A softer beard will help accentuate your jaw while also lengthen your chin. You could also try sporting ‘Balbo’ beards (a beard without sideburns and a trimmed, floating moustache).

Diamond

Men with diamond-shaped faces have the widest cheekbones. However, they have a narrow forehead and jawline that are approximately symmetrical. Men must keep beards on your chin to reduce the emphasis on your cheekbones. You should try beard styles like the full beard, balbo, goatee, or a moustache combo.

Triangle 

Men with triangle structured faces have greater jawlines as compared to their cheekbones. Take away the attention from your chin by grooming beards higher up on your face. Avoid hair on your cheeks and grow short beards on the chin. Try the beardstache, which is a full moustache along with a beard and a heavy stubble.
