Following are Top 15 Goatee Style beards for you to assess which style is the best.

1. Authentic Goatee:

The Authentic style of a Men’s Goatee beard clearly resembles a goat’s facial hair style. Thus if you want the original goatee style, you must not have any mustache at all. You must remove all the hair on your neck and face apart from the area below your lips. Now you have to shape the hair below your lower lip in a semicircular form. As the authentic goatee does not have any sort of soul patch or landing strip, you must make sure you trim it properly.

2. Extended Style Goatee:

As its name suggests, an Extended Goatee Beard has all the characteristics of a normal goatee, only difference is that it is extended in all directions, i.e. horizontally along your jawline as well as vertically below your chin. This beard style has been used by several film stars. You can accompany it with a mustache.

3. Pretty Boy Goatee:

This is currently one of the most popular goatee beard styles and most guys think of this style whenever they think about goatees.

4. Van Dyke Style Goatee:

The Van Dyke style of goatee is an emerging variation among the youth, especially in western countries. It is the perfect goatee if you are looking for something modern.

But make sure that you don’t connect the mustache with your Van Dyke beard.

5. Anchor Goatee:

This goatee is almost identical to the Van Dyke style goatee. The Anchor goatee is named so, as it resembles the anchor of a ship in the olden times which was useful in natural calamities in the sea. It is a painstaking task to perfect. You have to combine a light pencil mustache with a v-shape soul patch that is to be extended linearly to your goatee and must look like an anchor when combined with your goatee.

This beard style is also known as the “Napoleon III Imperials” style or simply a “mustache and chin strap” style. This style is suitable for you if you have a square shaped or diamond shaped face.

8. Norse Skipper Style Goatee:

The Norse skipper is one of the few long goatee styles alive nowadays. This style is basically an extension of the chin puff goatee.

You must accompany the goatee with a mustache.

9. Chin Goatee with Soul Patch and Detached Mustache:

12. Petite Goatee:

If you want a goatee but don’t want it to cover your entire chin area and neither do you want it to cover the area below your lips, then you can go for a petite goatee.
