There’s no denying it - beards are poised to have a major moment in 2025 continuing the 2024 beard trend.

From clean corporate cuts to rugged Viking vibes, the range of beard styles for men has never been broader. And with growing social acceptance across industries and age groups, more guys are experimenting with different beard styles to match their personalities, professions, and face shapes.

But let’s get one thing straight: great style starts with great grooming. No matter what kind of beard you wear, maintenance is everything. That’s where premium products from Bearded Coast come in, helping you sculpt, soften, and show up with confidence.

Here are the top 10 trending beard styles for men in 2025, plus tips on how to rock each one with purpose.

The Sculpted Full Beard

Still one of the most respected styles, the full beard continues to dominate in 2025 - but with a sleeker twist. This year, the look is sharper, with neatly edged cheek lines and defined neck areas. Think less lumberjack, more modern gentleman.

Ideal for guys with oval or rectangular faces, the full beard adds maturity, balance, and strength to your overall appearance.

Pro Grooming Tip: Moisture is the foundation of a great full beard. Use Carpe Diem Beard Oil daily to soften coarse hairs and reduce itchiness. Then, lock in shape with Carpe Diem Beard Butter.

The Business Beard

Professionalism meets personality in the business beard. This medium-length, well-groomed look complements sharp outfits and fits seamlessly into corporate life.

Perfect for men in client-facing roles or remote workers tired of the clean-shaven grind, the business beard signals authority without coming off as too wild.

Grooming Routine: Start your morning with the Old Skool Beard Oil to nourish and add a light, masculine scent. For hold and styling, apply a layer of Old Skool Beard Butter.

The Refined Stubble

Want that rugged, just-rolled-out-of-bed look without committing to full growth? Refined stubble is your best bet.

This is the top contender among small beard styles in 2025. Trim it to perfection with a 1.5mm–3mm guard, edge the lines for clarity, and keep the skin underneath healthy.

Pro Tip: Use the Pine Tar Soap Bar to exfoliate and cleanse, removing dead skin that can lead to irritation under short hair.

The Beardstache

Equal parts bold and retro, the beardstache blends a thick, shaped mustache with a trimmed, lighter beard. Think Henry Cavill vibes with just a hint of rebellion.

Best suited for guys with square or heart-shaped faces, the beardstache draws attention to the center of your face while maintaining structure around the jaw.

How to Own It: Keep the 'stache hydrated and styled using Dark And Stormy Beard Oil. For definition, consider adding a small amount of Dark And Stormy Beard Butter to shape.

The Tapered Beard Fade

This barbershop favorite is all about the gradient - from sideburns that fade smoothly into a fuller chin or goatee. It’s dynamic, modern, and pairs perfectly with fresh haircuts.

This style works well on almost all beard shapes and can be tailored to suit round, oval, or even diamond face structures.

Styling Advice: Apply Dapper Dude Beard Butter post-trim to define the fade and enhance shine. Use Dapper Dude Beard Oil for added hydration.

The Chin Strap Revival

Once the butt of early 2000s jokes, the chin strap has evolved. The 2025 version is thicker, more intentional, and works best when paired with a tight fade and structured jaw.

If you’ve got bold facial features or a strong jawline, this beard shape accentuates your natural bone structure like a frame on a masterpiece.

Daily Maintenance: Keep your chin strap crisp with frequent edging. Hydrate with Rip Tide Beard Oil to prevent patchiness, and use Rip Tide Beard Butter for subtle styling.

The Anchor Beard

Want to command attention? The anchor beard is a bold combo of pointed chin hair and a floating mustache. The look gets its name from the anchor-like shape it creates around the mouth and chin.

This style thrives on precision and works wonders for oblong or narrow face shapes, helping create the illusion of a stronger jaw.

Care Tip: Shape and soften the anchor using True O.G. Beard Butter. Finish with a drop of True O.G. Beard Oil for sleekness and aroma.

The Faded Goatee

Goatees never really left - but in 2025, they’ve leveled up. The modern goatee often features faded sideburns, disconnected lines, or minimalist detailing.

This is a top choice among small beard styles and ideal for those who want a low-maintenance yet high-style option.

How to Wear It: After washing with True O.G. Beard Wash, hydrate with Tangie Dream Beard Oil to keep short strands looking fresh and neat.

The Viking-Inspired Beard

Big, bold, and brimming with confidence - the Viking beard isn’t just a trend; it’s a statement. Often paired with braids, beads, or thick volume, this look screams strength.

This beard style requires patience and a high-commitment care routine. It works best on men with naturally dense growth and rectangular or triangular face shapes.

Essential Products: Start with the Coconut Stout Beard and Body Wash Bar to keep things fresh. Then, tame the beast with Salty Vibes Beard Balm and Salty Vibes Beard Oil for hydration and shine.

The Natural Curly Beard

Textured beards are being embraced like never before. In 2025, men with coiled or curly beards are letting their natural patterns shine through with minimal sculpting.

This style works best when it’s well-nourished, evenly shaped, and allowed to grow out without harsh lines or over-trimming.

Hydration Is Key: Wash with True O.G. Beard Wash, then apply True O.G. Beard Conditioner to keep curls soft and defined.
