Whether relaxed, highly structured or bold, every beard reflects a personality and enhances the contours of the face. And the beard trends for 2027 are no exception. 

The Van Dycke beard: still in style in 2027 

A modern take on the classic goatee, it’s named after the Flemish painter Anthony Van Dyck. It was the beard style of the 17th century, and it remains the epitome of elegance in 2027. To grow a beautiful Van Dyke beard, it should be worn separately from the mustache (which must be well-groomed). The goatee is pointed, without spreading onto the cheeks, which should be closely shaved. It gives a polished and refined look. Just keep in mind: it requires a lot of maintenance to stay perfect!  

Who is it for? It’s especially suited for round faces, adding length to them. 

Three-day stubble, a timeless classic 

Timeless and effortlessly stylish, three-day stubble remains a true classic.  It gives a slightly rugged, yet elegant and masculine look. Its best feature? It suits all styles. To achieve it, set your trimmer to between 3 and 5 mm, depending on the thickness of your hair.
To maintain it, simply trim it every 2 to 3 days, depending on how quickly your hair grows back. To keep the lines clean, focus on the contours, especially around the cheeks and neck. 

Who is it for ? This beard style flatters all face shapes, and is particularly popular with men who have uneven hair growth. 

A full beard for a hipster look

Perfectly vintage, the full beard suits every style, from the most polished to the most laid-back. To keep it looking great while maintaining its fullness, this ultra-trendy beard needs to have both a well-defined and natural shape. 

To create this look, start by defining the neckline and then the contours. The key? Always keep volume in the center. A full beard can be worn medium-length or long for a bold and striking look. 

Who is it for? Suitable for all face shapes, it’s also perfect for balancing proportions, elongating the jawline, or concealing asymmetries. 

The Balbo beard, the inverted T that remains a favourite  

Inspired by Italo Balbo, an Italian aviator and politician, the Balbo beard continues to attract admirers. With this style, it’s all about definition and contrast!  The mustache should be sharply defined and connected to the beard, which frames the mouth and extends down to the chin. As for the cheeks, they should be perfectly shaven. To keep it looking its best, regular trimming of the edges is key. 

Who is it for? The Balbo beard is your best ally if you have a small jawline and want to enhance it. It also suits men with delicate features. 

The faded beard: the rising trend 

A newer addition to the beard style landscape, the faded beard creates a gradual transition towards the jawline. The result? More sculpted-looking features and the impression of. It is a demanding style: achieving it requires a precision trimmer and the right guards, as well as regular visits to the barber to keep the fade clean and defined. 

Who is it for? Ideal for men who want a beard that defines the contours of the face without the uniform, classic look of a closely trimmed beard. 

The beardstache: when the moustache takes centre stage again 

Another strong trend for 2027: the comeback of the mustache, paired with a short beard. The beardstache features a more defined moustache for a distinctive look that remains easy to wear every day. 

Who is it for? For those who want to stand out without going all the way with a full retro look such as the Van Dycke or Balbo. 

How to care for your beard, whatever its style

As an extension of your personal style, your beard deserves the right care. A dedicated daily routine can help give it a natural shine, a silky-soft feel and support stronger, healthier-looking growth - all without beard oil. All you need is the right accessory: the Altesse Studio Officier beard brush, made with boar bristles. What's more, it is 100% handmade. The boar bristles help distribute the hair's natural oils, leaving facial hair feeling stronger and encouraging a smoother, more uniform appearance. And there's more: this versatile 2-in-1 brush can also be used on your hair.

• The right brushing technique can make all the difference to your beard’s appearance: 
  Start at the neck, brushing upwards in the direction of growth. This helps lift the hairs and prevent ingrown hairs.
• Then brush the cheeks, working from the roots outwards and downwards, following the natural shape of your beard. With its graduated bristle lengths, the brush reaches beyond the surface to massage the skin and stimulate microcirculation, helping to support healthy hair growth.
