Best Beard Styles for a Square Face Shape
A strong jaw suits a beard, and a rounded outline adds softness while keeping the length.
This guide is for the square face shape: jaw at least 90% of the cheekbone width, with a face length under 1.45 times the cheekbone width.
Try
- A short to medium beard with a rounded outline at the chin
- Fuller cheeks and a slightly longer chin
- A neat stubble with a clean neckline
- A goatee that adds length to the chin
Skip or adjust
- A square-cut beard that repeats the jaw
- A very short beard that shows the full jaw with no softness
- A wide, heavy beard that adds width at the sides
