I think this style will be remembered as a very stereotypical Mid 10's trend and it  is well past its peak now in 2019 in my opinion , but beards in general still seem pretty popular now but are much shorter and trimmed comparing to the mid 10's


What do you guys think?

Beards are currently in the news in the UK, for the first time beards are now being allowed to be worn in the Royal Air Force.

btw, under current rules in the Army, beards are permitted for operational reasons, such as covert operations.

In the U.S., the hipster beard is out. It’s been replaced by the Taliban beard:

Beards are very still popular (and I personally don't see that stopping anytime soon in all honesty), however, beards are a lot more 'clean cut' and polished than the 'hipster beards' of the mid 2010s. There's this informative (and unintentionally funny ;D) tutorial video on YouTube, from like 2017, about how to properly trim your beard:

In a weird way, the transformation you see in this video represents the change in cultural ethos pertaining to beards and much of fashion in general, from the bohemian/hipster aesthetic of the mid 2010s (bushy beards and undercuts notwithstanding) to the more polished/'manscaping' look of the late 2010s (in a era where the economy is good, businesses are bustling, and people are throwing away their flannel shirts and Dock Martins for designer suits and Sperrys).

Here in the Northeast U.S, the 'hipster beard' has been dead for at least 2 years now. Although, weirdly enough, 'man buns' and 'undercuts' are still popular, but even those trends have a more polished look them now than they used to.

I am still keeping my beard, it is a part of me, and family and friends expect me to have it.

Yes, but they are dying out in favor of more diverse and natural-looking hairstyles. Though beards are still popular, even amongst teenagers, don't expect it to last.

I honestly don't think beards will die out now that the genie is out of the bottle. The reasons beards died out in the first place was because the safety razor was invented with the shaving cream's minty after feel, basically it was a "hygiene" marketing gimmick. Now that we're back to the way things were for the millions of years of human and ape history, I doubt men will voluntarily go back to the cumbersome task of shaving daily.

I shave every day so I have no beard.

Is your hair black? I get really bad 1PM shadow if I clean shave. By 5PM it's already a stubble. I'm glad to have left shaving behind. ;D

I have a beard since summer 2018, so in that regard YES!

Yes, still popular here in the UK I believe. It's making me feel sad, because with all this talk of LGBT+ acceptance, it's making me think that this decade isn't so accepting of LGBT+ and gender non-conforming individuals after all beyond just a bunch of countries recognizing same-sex marriages and same-sex parent adoptions.


This is especially owing to how little gender non-conformity I've seen from cisgender individuals (anyone who's not transgender) and the increasingly hateful rhetoric directed against women, anyone who isn't straight, anyone who isn't fine with being what society says a man or woman should be, or anyone who is fine with neither being a man or a woman.

No, my hair is light brown, my stubble grows back within a day or so.

Those of us with a jawline will never let a beard hide it. The stubble is the best type of look you can have with facial hair in my opinion. Also, if you have patchy facial hair you are much better shaving it off than letting it grow out and the subreddit for this agrees with me as well.
