Best Beard Styles for an Oval Face Shape
An oval face suits almost any beard length, so the deciding factor is the density and growth of your hair.
This guide is for the oval face shape: face length between 1.25 and 1.45 times the cheekbone width, with a jaw under 90% of the cheekbone width.
Try
- Full beards with even length across the jaw and chin
- Short stubble and a light, tidy beard
- A goatee, or a soul patch with a neat outline
- A moustache and beard combination in a natural shape
Skip or adjust
- Very long beards that add a lot of length to the chin
- Patchy, uneven growth that is not tidied at the neckline
- Sharp, geometric outlines that fight the soft jaw
