So, bearded men, let down your hair and get ready for a bushy celebration.

The New Stubble Standard

This is one of the newer beard styles and is one that is trending for 2022. Just don’t be tempted into thinking that a stubble beard is simply a lack of shaving. A beard is shaped hair – it’s the result of work and a sense of style. What makes a beard what it is, is its outline, and the face that wears it. But this style has had quite a bad reputation. Thankfully, stylists no longer consider it unprofessional or unkempt. It’s a trendy and rugged style, where the stubble is short, scruffy, with a neat, trim outline. To achieve the look of a shaped unshaven face, set the clippers to somewhere between 1 and 1.5. It’s very easy to achieve and maintain at home. It goes best with a great jawline.

The Van Dyke Baroque

This style became popular thanks to the famous 17^th century Flemish artist Anthony Van Dyck and is one of the top trending beard styles for 2022. If you feel like adding a baroque touch to your look or simply want to shape your face real quick, the Van Dyke makes a great low-maintenance option. Ideal for men with patchy cheeks, the Van Dyke is one of the best beard styles featuring a flexible beard-and-mustache combo. The beard is diamond-shaped and, you can wear it shorter or longer, flatter or more pronounced, depending on your taste and how much time you have.

The Viking Treasure Hoard

The Viking beard is one of the most trending beard styles declared as the next top trendsetting in 2022. It first originated in Scandinavia and is a well-groomed long beard Vikings used to grow for a fiercer warrior look. It comes in many shapes and sizes, from full to medium, and different styles, from spare and bare to laden with rings and beads. The Viking beard is trimmer on the sides with the chin region left to grow out.

This is one of the higher-maintenance beard styles which requires 7 to 13 weeks of medium to thick density and semi-regular grooming. It’s important to shampoo your beard, especially if you keep it long. The aspiring Viking can opt for a shorter version, for lower maintenance. If you want more style and have a triangular face with a tapering chin, try shaping it so the end is pointy and pointing towards the floor. The bold and brutal Viking types among you might consider braids and beard accessories like rings, beads, arrowheads, and other trophies won in battle.
