21 Movember Styles Worth Your Attention
No-Shave November never looked so good
Traditionally, Movember, or No-Shave November, is associated with funky-styled beards and intricately shaped moustaches. But what if we told you there is so much more to it, including a deep meaning behind every bizarre shaved moustache?
As you know, Movember officially starts on the first day of November, and you absolutely have to be clean-shaven on that day to follow the rules accordingly: not a day earlier nor a day later. One of the essential rules: do not forget to moisturize your skin – a friendly reminder from our stylists, especially if being clean-shaven is not your routine. Not moisturizing your skin after shaving could lead to a skin rash, ingrown hair, or patches on your beard. Not only it’s essential to know the skincare & hair growth principles, but it is also important to remember that the whole Movember movement was created with the sole purpose of bringing attention to and raising awareness among men about mental health issues and cancer-related illnesses.
The next time you see a group of men looking all cool with their sophisticated moustache shapes and freshly framed beards, you will know it is not about the trendy look; it is more about what’s behind it. Always take care of your health first, then choose your next facial hairstyle with us.
Extended Goatee
Here is one way to keep your beard and balance it with a thinly framed moustache. Whether wearing a classy dress code for an official event or a casual outfit for a day off, such facial hair will look universally good on you even though it’s a pretty high-maintenance style that requires shaving often.
Anchor Beard
Whether you have a single-coloured beard or a beautiful combination of salt & pepper hair, choosing an anchor style might benefit you. This style does not require sophisticated shaving skills, and it will look good even with some hair growing on the sides. It is more of a day-to-day look but for all your important days, you can always trim the bottom part to make it look more sharp.
Circle Beard
Similar to the anchor beard, the circle beard looks better with those casual looks and also gives you slightly more freedom from shaving daily. It definitely gets complemented by longer hair with messy parting. This is the style that Brad Pitt has been loyal to for decades.
Partially Extended Goatee
Compared to the first style, with a fuller and longer beard at the bottom, this style of framing your hair will look more crisp and fresh. This is absolutely the king of all corporate looks, which will surely add confidence to you and help you make an impression on people you meet for the first time.
Balbo Beard
This is one of the punkiest ways to shave your facial hair. It will work perfectly if your hair is light to medium and does not grow evenly in thick patches. This style gives you so many hairstyling options to play with, as it will look attractive with almost any haircut, just as Johnny Depp proves to us with his stunning look.
Anchor Beard For Light Hair
As Justin Bieber demonstrates, light-coloured facial hair does not mean you don’t have beard options to play with. Even if your beard grows in patches, this is not a reason not to choose this facial hair style. To us, this moustache on Justin adds elegance and the fact that his beard is not full and even in colour only adds manhood to his look.

Painter’s Brush With A Soul Patch
Aside from all other popular styles, this is quite a unique one: it’s a very good-looking combination of a classy moustache and a soul patch under the lips. Not every man is ready for such a statement, as this style definitely draws attention to itself. However, on older gentlemen, this facial hair would look absolutely stunning.
Chevron Moustache
A universal mustache shape that would work for any age and styling preferences and it surely will help you to bring attention to the Movember movement. It does not require sophisticated skills, nor will it take long to shape the moustache. This is our suggestion for those of you who are doing this November trend for the first time.
Walrus Mustache
This mustache is undoubtedly a statement of this month: a very classy yet strict and conservative look is not for everyone, and it has to be completed by a high fade and perfectly sleek back-gelled hair. Otherwise, it might look more ironic rather than appealing. But it’s totally up to you and your final goal for this November.
Medium Stubble Beard
This is a perfect Movember choice for those who have a fast-growing beard and do not like high-maintenance facial hair styles. While keeping sharp sideburns and a perfectly framed moustache, the shorter hair on the sides will be easy to maintain. Altogether, this is definitely an Oscar-winning style.
Handlebar With Soul Patch
We are slowly getting to more intricate styles on our list today, and this moustache design certainly opens up this chapter of Movember’s creativity. Whether you decide to keep a soul patch or have the moustache without it, this facial hair choice will not leave anyone indifferent.
Zorro Moustache
All of the gangsters out there have favoured this type of mustache for decades, and no wonder why. While this is a very particular style of facial hair and will not work with every outfit or lifestyle, it still deserves to be one of the top choices for Movember. When else will you get a chance to experiment with your style without being judged?
English Moustache With Soul Patch
The experimentally creative part of our audience will absolutely fall in love with this extravagant mustache shape and beard style. It might be a bit tricky to shape it at first, but once you get the shape right, it should be relatively easy to maintain. Don’t disregard the beard balm to keep that mustache pointy.
Dali Moustache
If you were ever a fan of medieval-themed movies and theatre performances, this is the style for you, my friend. With a dark, full hair patch on the chin, a precisely shaped moustache, and clean-shaven sides, you will nail this timeless look. Adding a high fade and growing long hair on top will make you stand out in any crowd.
Fu Manchu Moustache
This style is obviously a mix of hippie culture with the classic goatee, and the way it turned out—not gonna lie—looks very intriguing. It can certainly add character to your appearance, and it is not that complicated to shape and maintain, especially if your hair grows quickly.
French Fork Beard
This is the top choice for a low-maintenance beard and, indeed, the most universal style that would look good whether you have light, medium or dark hair. By keeping a precise framed moustache at the top, you will always look freshly done up, while the rest of the hair can grow slowly and form a longer beard.
Garibaldi Beard
Undoubtedly, this is one of the most attractive styles for a beard that every man could ever have. Not everyone is lucky enough to have that texture and length of facial hair, but if you are one of the lucky people, this is your call. Colouring your beard into one shade or leaving it naturally toned will look equally appealing with this style.
Long Stubble Beard
A universal and extremely easy-to-maintain beard style that is good not only for Movember but can also become your favourite style of fashion hair for years. The even length of the hair makes the trimming of your beard very quick and straightforward, which allows you to shape it regularly with no extra time and effort.
Stubble Beard
Not only Drake’s favourite facial hairstyle but also one of the hardest to keep it fresh-looking. While this particular style might require a professional barber to help you with the framing on a regular basis, it is worth every minute and dollar spent on it. Just look how elegant yet simply cool this beard looks on anyone.
Long Stubble With Fade
This is the style for the chosen hair-knowledgable audience: not only the tricky framing on the top but also a gradual trimming on the sides makes this facial hair type the most desired yet the least popular. But hey, listen, if something looks sophisticated, that only means it is more exciting and appealing to get.
Ducktail Short Beard
The last style we prepared for you is also one of the trickiest facial hairstyles for Movember to replicate. It does not take a long time to grow the hair as it can be short, or even stubble would be enough to repeat this framing. However, be ready to spend some time to get those perfectly fine lines and manage to find time for shaving every two days.
While exact framing, gradual trimming, and drawing symmetrical lines can take a long time to achieve the desired result sometimes, it is worth every second of spending on it because it is only for the excellent cause of November. It’s a good thing we have Movember every year so you can practice with the same style till perfection or change it up and refresh your styling routine. No matter what you choose, The HairCutInspiration Team is always ready to give you some fresh ideas.
