What beard styles are trending in 2025?

The Van Dyke beard, a top trend for 2025

A modern take on the classic goatee, it’s named after the Flemish painter Anthony Van Dyck. It was the iconic beard trend of the 17th century and remains the epitome of elegance in 2025. 

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 well-suited for round faces, as it adds length to them. 

Three-day stubble, still a trend in 2025

Timeless, the three-day stubble is still very much in style this year. 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 suits 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 ultra-trendy T-shape for 2025

Inspired by Italo Balbo, an Italian aviator and politician, the Balbo beard is a major trend in 2025. With this style, it’s all about definition and contrast! 

The mustache should be sharply defined and blend seamlessly with the beard, which frames the mouth and extends down to the chin. As for the cheeks, they should be clean-shaven. To keep it looking its best, regular trimming of the edges is essential. 

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

What grooming routine should you follow for your beard type?

Every beard needs the right care routine to keep it well-groomed, enhance its shine, and promote growth. The solution? Use the essential men’s grooming tool: Officer, Altesse Studio100% handmade Hair & Beard Brush.
