Just like the endless renditions of copper hair color or different types of fades, when it comes to men’s beard and facial hair trends — there are new (and sometimes improved) shapes to inspire your next style. Whether you’re heading to the barber or attempting to groom your facial hair at home, these are some of the top trends as forecasted by award-winning men’s hairdresser, Jim Shaw.
2024’s Top Beard & Facial Hair Trends
The Van Dyke
Consisting of a small goatee, beard, and mustache. These three elements can be connected or disconnected, creating a unique yet sophisticated and trendy look for men. With celebrities such as Robert Downey Jr. And Johnny Depp previously sporting this beard trend, it was of course going to be popular for the modern-day man who is looking to give themselves a celebrity-inspired look.
The Full Beard
As we come into 2024 many men will be looking to grow their beard, perfect to give their face some warmth over winter! It’s also great for men who like a more natural and effortless look. The full beard may not be for everyone, but for those that suit this style, it can really make a statement and show off their personality and confidence.
The Anchor Beard
A beard style we have noticed becoming popular more recently and that replicates that of an anchor, including a mustache and a pointed beard that traces the jawline. For those who like a more groomed beard style, this is perfect. It also is incredibly versatile where it can work for almost any face shape, but I particularly love this style for those who are looking to enhance some of their best facial features such as their jawline.
Stubble
A beard trend that will never go out of style! Stubble is particularly great for those who want to dip their toe in the water when it comes to having a beard. It’s a casual but classy style and can also be paired with a mustache. I love this look paired with a buzz cut/super short hair look to provide balance.
