Pointy sharp van dyke beard with a neat cheek shave makes it perfect. The top is curly with a shag texture all around. The key here is to shave everything else but the van dyke beard for a maximum look.

Classic yet elegant version on Van Dyke Beard, the clean shave and taper are where all the difference is made. Keeping thick and long hair on the chin and mustache. Keeping sides small with size 2 clippers makes the rest pop out.

This could be one of the neatest Van Dyke we have seen so far especially with its longer cheekbone tentacles. The top is quite classy too with the French crop. The faded lineup just makes everything perfect.

Not all Van Dyke beard is shaved along cheekbones, some are tapered for gradual increase. Here that’s the case, the density increases as it goes towards the chin but neat shave below the cheek bones.

Van Dyke isn’t always short and lined up on one’s chin. Sometimes it is quite thick and extended on the jawline as we see here. This can very well be a grown-up Van Dyke. Toss some good volume on top and you’re good to go.

Van Dyke beard has always been one of those styles that are very collected yet slightly informal. Here it is exactly the same, the beard is informal with hair being very tamed with that side part and a simple flat puff on the top to add a tinge of style.

Van Dyke is not very trendy but this mustache makes it even older with that chill retro touch. The hair here goes in conjunction with the beard as it is a high fade for a clean look with sides shaved making it a very neat look.

Subtle undercut with a side brush up makes such a great style. The sides are taper faded with so much panache that it looks great. The Van Dyke comes in handy and the small size makes it jazzy.

This one is a sabotage Van Dyke Beard, less dense beard hides it perfectly. Perfectly clean sides make this look a very clean one. The way to ace this style is to pair it with a clean haircut in order to balance things on top and bottom.

As you let the hair grow it covers the skin with its curls. Styling this mustache with its ends pointing up makes it all classy. This style requires some prep but with shaved sides and tapered goatee makes all the difference. Use a little beard oil to soften the hair so as to style it easily.
