According to recent study findings, it was determined that about 15% of men choose to have this type of facial hair. This number might seem low, but more and more men are turning toward growing a mustache. In 2023 this number is set to rise as popularity increases, and more men find a style they love.
Yet, how do you know which mustache style you should try out next? Over the years, some mustache styles have stood the test of time while other more modern looks are taking center stage. Fortunately, if you’re looking to up your ‘stache’ game, you’ve come to the right blog, as the team at The Barber Chair knows the latest and greatest mustache trends.
We’ve put together this brief guide to help you determine which mustache style you should try out next by looking at the styles that have made the list for 2023.
What Are Three Mustache Styles That Made The List For 2023?
There are many mustache styles you can turn to when you’re ready to try something new, but picking the wrong one can hamper the type of personal image you want to convey to the world. Luckily we’ve got three trendy mustache styles that are getting a lot of hype this year, and one of them will surely give you the look you’re after.
- The Walrus Mustache
It might not sound the most attractive, but the walrus mustache has existed since the 19th century. It continues to be a favorite because it immediately gives a man a rustic and masculine look. Many noteworthy men have rocked the walrus mustache, like John Lennon, Teddy Roosevelt, and Sam Elliot, and you could be next.
Not everyone will like the walrus mustache style. But if you’re into a bushier and longer ‘stache’ look with facial hair that hangs over your mouth and gives the appearance of whiskers, it might be perfect for you. This type of mustache is also super easy to grow, and you can play around with the length if you’re uncomfortable with the full-blown whisker look.
- The Pencil Mustache
When you think of a mustache style, your mind might not immediately picture the pencil mustache. Still, we promise it’s a style worth considering if you struggle to grow facial hair or like a thinner, more traditional style.
This mustache style peaked in the 30s and 40s, but it’s made a massive comeback in recent years with numerous famous actors like Errol Flyn and Clark Gable pulling it off. This mustache is identifiable by a thin layer of beard running neatly across the top of the upper lip.
With this look, a large space is left between the top of the ‘mo’ and the bottom of the nose. There are no overhanging hairs with this look, and it’s fairly easy to grow, but it does require more upkeep, so you must remember to schedule regular visits with us at The Barber Shop.
- The Handlebar Mustache
One of the most iconic and ever-popular mustache styles is the handlebar mustache. This legendary beard looks quite literally looks like you have miniature bicycle handlebars on your face above your lip. It’s been popular since the 70s and 80s and will unlikely go anywhere soon.
With this style, your beard is curved upwards above your lip and below your nose. Your beard will reach beyond the corner of your lips and give a refined look. Yet, you should note that this look requires some upkeep, and it will take about three months to grow to the point where this look is possible. If you don’t have time to maintain it, try a regular mustache.
