Men only - Trends in facial hair
|
Aamir Khan's tiny little thing in Dil Chahta Hai started a trend of sorts. Every actor since then has experimented with this aspect. Be it Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty or even Sachin Tendulkar and Shane Warne; we have witnessed changing trends in facial hair. Now who would have thought men could be so fashionably innovative!
Shaaditimes gives a lowdown on different styles of in-vogue facial hair.
A few-day-old stubble
This is a classic, no-nonsense facial hair style! If you are tired of walking around with a 'good-boy-clean-shaven' look, then try growing your hair for a few days. It lends machoism and ruggedness to your personality. If you feel like your hair is growing out of control and is turning into a beard, use a trimmer. This is a cool style immortalised once upon a time by tennis player Jim Courier and singer George Michael. More closer home, we've had actors, from yesteryear's bihari babu Shatrugan Sinha to current heartthrobs Abhishek Bachchan and Fardeen Khan, who carry off this look with panache.
The quasi goatee
You can call it a wannabe French Beard, this style is to give you a 'different' look - it can't be termed as casual or formal. It depends on the way you carry it off. Although simple goatees are out, a thin moustache along with a small patch of hair underneath the bottom lip and another patch of hair on the chin (none of which are attached) can help add some edge to your style.
What style suits what face?
Square shape: Any style that is cleanly cut around the ears or any style that provides a square frame for the face. Square face are, generally, suitable for experiments with facial hair.
Rectangular shape: A well maintained beard may camouflage a soft jawline and a moustache will shorten an overly rectangular or oblong shape. A carefully trimmed goatee can also infuse an element of squareness to a soft chin.
Round shape: Beards can be styled to make the face appear more oval. A neat moustache can also enhance the overall appearance and shape of the face.
Triangular shape: A French beard or its variations that helps to balance and fill out the jawline.
Pear and diamond shape: A stubble trimmed into a rounded or square shape will disguise the prominent chin.

Simple sideburns
Now who wouldn't want to look like Elvis?! Long sideburns, which were a rage in India when Vinod Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan used to dance around trees, wooing their heroines, have lost a lot of their charm. Nevertheless, it still remains an easy and versatile look to pull off and a staple on the men's fashion scene. When it comes to sideburn length, the norm is for your sideburns to end at the midpoint of your ear. Trim your sideburns with a razor or clippers, or have them trimmed when you go for a haircut. This is a great default style that's easy to maintain and remains timeless.
