Beard Styles for Square Faces
Updated
A square face has a broad forehead, strong jawline, and clearly defined corners. The right beard can soften those angles without hiding the structure that makes the face distinctive. Fuller, rounded styles such as a full beard, circle beard, or Garibaldi add movement around the jaw and reduce a boxy outline. Keep the edges curved and the sides balanced. Short, sharply trimmed shapes can emphasize square corners, so choose a style with enough softness to offset them.
