When it comes to beard styles, it’s important to choose one that suits your face. People with round face shape need a beard style that’s structured, gives the face proper definition and length. While there’s no wrong style to sport, some may just suit you more. Remember, the idea is not to make the face look slim but to achieve definition making you look sharp. As a general rule, keep the neckline trimmed, and the jawline well-shaped and groomed.
Van Dyke
This beard features a full goatee with a detached moustache. The goatee can be either angular or rounded. However, this is for those who get a full beard on their chin and not patchy hair. The length of the beard gives a longer shape to the face taking attention away from its roundness. The moustache adds the masculine element and therefore, it suits the round face people.
Box Beard
This style of beard should wrap around your face, it extends from the cheek line to just below the jawline. The beard has slightly heavy stubble, which is well groomed, neat, and trimmed. Give the stubble neat, sharp edges so it defines the face and suits people with round face. It gives the round shape a definition which is all you need. Use beard oil to keep the stubble moisturised all the time.
Garibaldi Beard
Thanks to the current caveman beard trend, you won't shy away from trying this one if you have a round face. Full face of beard but longer in length, Garibaldi is one of the most common beard styles for people with round face. Though it grows into its natural shape, it usually gets angular at the end and that’s what gives it the round face some length. This beard style needs good conditioning and moisturising and so, you must invest in a beard conditioner and beard oil. Also, make sure to go regular trimming to make it appear neat and well-groomed.
Circle Beard
The circle beard features a full-grown beard on the chin which is connected to the moustache. A moustache is a must for this style to make the beard look like a circle around the lips. This beard style is for those who don’t enjoy heavy beard styles. Also, it’s versatile and can be faded or extended according to your liking. This is what makes this style a preferred one for people with a round face as it allows you to style it the way it suits the face, giving it some definition.
Scruffy Beard
The idea with this one is to let the beard take its natural shape after full growth. Remember, we are going for a rugged look here therefore, you don’t have to define or sharpen the cheek line to perfection. Keep it natural and its raw form with basic clean-up regularly. This beard style suits a round face as it gives the face a shape while making you look cool and effortless in your style.
5-Day Stubble
If you have thick beard growth, this is a timeless beard style that you can go for. Dark stubble, with well-defined shape around cheeks and jawline, gives a defined shape to the face and therefore, suits round faces. You can shape it according to your liking, it’s easy to maintain, and never goes out of style.
