Best Mustache Styles

This is the Dad 'Stache, or the Ron Swanson 'Stache.

The Chevron remains a classic mustache style. It dates back to Tom Selleck and Freddie Mercury. This style is bold and aggressively masculine. It also feels comforting and well-known.

The Handlebar is a thick mustache with ends that curl up. Men need lots of mustache twirling and expensive wax daily to keep it perfect.

The Walrus mustache needs cowboy hats or porch whittling dads to pull it off. The Walrus covers the upper lip completely. Tobacco smoke or years of thoughtful stroking usually discolor it.

The Soulful Handlebar mustache is a regular Handlebar mustache with a small soul patch added.

The Imperial connects upper lip hairs to cheek hairs. Young hat makers in Brooklyn or mixologists who look like 1860s stars behind the bar often wear it.

ThThe Horseshoe mustache is super thick and full. It dominates the upper lip with manliness. This style trails down the mouth corners, staying on each side until it hits the chin.

The Pencil 'Stache is a thin line of mustache running parallel to the upper lip. Keep it very neat. Meticulous trimming and daily attention are needed.

The Dali 'Stache has hair groomed from the philtrum, the groove above the upper lip. Each side grows up like solo cat whiskers, heavy enough to hold toe rings and paper clips.

Aka The R 'n Beard. This serious mustache appears in rap and R&B scenes. The Rap Industry Standard mixes a soul patch, a goatee, and a pencil mustache.

The Toothbrush, also called the Chaplin 'Stache or Hitler 'Stache, mimics the bathroom item. It sits below the nostrils and does not extend past the nose.

The Fu Manchu mustache starts near the mouth corners, leaving a large hairless space under the nostrils. Thin, drawn hair drapes down to the chin. Few people pull this off, except Fu Manchu himself.

An identity crisis mustache means your upper lip hangs on your forehead. You might think about mustache therapy costs, but this style lets you style it however you choose.
