While we are not sure how to feel about this viral vintage trend, Pornstache is making a comeback. It might not be attractive to many, but trend charts tell a different story because Bollywood actors like Vicky Kaushal and Vijay Varma and Hollywood celebrities like Henry Cavill and Milo Ventimiglia have made it cool again. Though the trend gets its name from the adult film actors of the 70s, it’s not as creepy as its history. I hate to say it but at one point in time most of us saw our fathers and uncles sporting it, and it did look cool.  

Pornstache is typically longer than the upper lip, a ‘dirty’ moustache look that, perhaps, denotes manliness and enhanced sex appeal. One thing that the look guarantees is that it makes you stand out in the crowd. However, be aware that people might tag you as a villain of yesteryear and you must take it in stride because villains are not bad-looking people, right? 

Why Try the Pornstache Trend? 

• It’s a versatile and classic trend that has never fallen off trend charts. It also gives a middle ground for those who don’t want to go clean shave and are not fond of growing a beard.  

• It’s also easy to maintain as compared to other styles. It doesn’t take hours of grooming and trimming and can also be tweaked to suit your look and needs according to your mood and occasion.  

• It’s not specific to any age, in fact older people might enjoy wearing the look more. And for those who want to come across as mature, impactful and someone who means business, this is a perfect choice to go for. 

• Not too casual and informal, this look suits every ambiance and setting that you’re a part of. It doesn’t matter if you’re at an event in a pair of jeans or a formal suit, this moustache will compliment your look. 

• Pornstache is also a look that can buy you some time to figure out your personal style. While you might be struggling to decide what kind of look suits you, this is something that’s universally flattering for everyone.  

• It’s a safe look for those who don’t like to experiment with anything flashy or quirky. It’s stylish, classy, looks masculine, and as someone who follows fashion but not necessarily falls for every trend. It’s low key yet stylish and makes for a bold look without overdoing it. 

How to Sport a Pornstache? 

• Be patient and achieve the right thickness of moustache before styling it on ends. There’s no one or right way of wearing this look, make sure the thickness and length suits your facial features and overall look. 

• Once you achieve the desired thickness and length, groom and trim it to make it neat according to your face. As it’s worn above the upper lip, make sure there’s no hair growing long enough to touch your lips, that just looks gross. Therefore, keep a pair of scissors handy. 

• Understand that you are not working with a full face of beard and therefore, imperfect, messy and ungroomed hair will not work for a Pornstache. It has to be kept well-moisturised and in place by using some moustache wax. 

• Don’t let it overgrow on the sides either because that might kill the overall appeal of a Pornstache. If you have gray hair in your moustache, let it be and don’t dye it. Experts call it the moustache for older men and what better than gray hair to show it.
