With summertime right around the corner, there are a few traditions that are looming in the air that one must adhere to. Put the AC in the window, make sure you have your pool ready for a dip or two, and get that beard trimmed. While beards are definitely in vogue in the modern fashion world, there’s always general maintenance and upkeep that’s important. You’re allowed to let it run wild during the winter to provide insulation, but now that the weather has warmed up, it’s time to put the “man” in manicure and get that beard looking it’s very best.
There are a variety of styles that you can incorporate with a trim, and some of these are quite dapper and debonair.
The Short Boxed Beard
If you’ve ever wanted to get in touch with your inner Commander William Riker, here’s your opportunity. The short boxed beard was a staple of the 1990s and has made a comeback in the modern era. Easy to maintain and stylish for the summer months, it’s ideal for students on vacation who want to retain their sharp look.
The Dirty Shave
When it’s properly pulled off, this gives off the impression of ‘rough and ready.’ It takes some daily upkeep of lotion to prevent the pesky itching that can occur, but you’ll be ready for the red carpet as long as you keep a close eye on length.
The Must-Have Mustache
If you want to make a bold statement this summer, ditch the beard entirely and opt for a mustache-only look. Your face will feel cooler in the heat, and you’ll see why so many ladies loved watching old episodes of Magnum P.I.
The Anchor
This retro style has been in vogue for a very long time and it’s the perfect accessory for the summertime. While there’s a decent amount of upkeep involved to keep it looking good, all you need is some mustache wax and a portable beard trimmer. The lack of bushy build-up will keep you cool during those humid days,
The Soul Patch
