The majority of men seem quite so into fashion as their female counterparts. While those in the male modelling<\/a> world might be more interested than others, we\u2019d suggest that it\u2019s likely due to the lack of choice. Men get to choose the colour of the shirt you\u2019re wearing to that wedding, rather than the colour, cut, fabric and style like women do. Women can wear smart trousers or a skirt and top, a jumpsuit or a dress, and men will find themselves wearing a suit to any formal occasion at all. Women can express themselves much more through their clothing choices than men can. Hair then, tends to be the easiest method of self-expression. You\u2019ve obviously got the hair on your head to deal with, but then there\u2019s also beards, moustaches, sideburns and more. And then after the cut itself you can consider a bit of styling. Complicated!<\/p>\n

In recent years we\u2019ve seen a huge rise in the popularity of facial hair. We\u2019re not talking a spot of stubble, this is the trend of the full beard. It\u2019s been seen on everyone from George Clooney to Jeremy Paxman, and that chap who works at the coffee shop down the road. We guarantee that at least one of your friends has at least had a go at growing one, and maybe you\u2019re even sporting your own. If you are a bearded fellow, you\u2019ll know that growing an impressive beard takes more effort than you might think. And it\u2019s not something everyone can achieve.<\/p>\n

But here\u2019s the rub male modelling chaps: we\u2019re reaching \u2018peak beard\u2019. It means that those of you with facial hair are now in a majority, which means clean shaven fellas have become less common, and therefore more desirable. There\u2019s been a scientific study to prove it and everything.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how it works. There\u2019s often trends in style, and the rarer options are the more popular ones. So while Brad Pitt might have been one of the first high profile faces covered in hair, but he certainly wasn\u2019t the last. As more and more men grew their facial hair, it becomes less of a rarity to see men with a full beard. And so it\u2019s not as attractive.
\nIf you\u2019re anything like us, you probably don\u2019t base your facial hair decision on what is trendy and what isn\u2019t. You probably just style yourself how you feel most happy and most confident. You probably know what suits you best, and that won\u2019t always be what\u2019s in style. Thankfully though, if every else does jump on the \u2018peak beard\u2019 band wagon and revert to the clean shaven look, you\u2019ll be back in the minority of truly bearded folk in no time at all.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re working in male modelling with and agency like Models Direct<\/a> or Talent Management and can grow a beard. The more diverse your look, the more work you\u2019re likely to find. A simple beard can completely change the look of a face, and simple stubble can make a young man look more mature.<\/p>\n

So with the new trends in facial hair changing all the time based on how the scales tip, are you on the side of fashion or the side of self-expression? We very much doubt that any male models out there will have grown their beards just because it was the in thing, rather they might have done it for a specific shoot, or just because that\u2019s how they prefer to look. Do you grow your facial hair or keep it in check? Are you one of a crowd or do you use your beard to make you stand out?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
