Didn't find it? Some men, when they don't have a beard, look unremarkable, and when they grow a beard, they immediately become super stylish big brothers or type men. And some retro style, really a little beard to have that taste.
For example, military uniforms, and a little muscle, then the feeling is more hard.
And the suit, with a beard and a vintage oil head, is it more refined and elegant?
Why do men like to grow beards so much? And it's as persistent as women's makeup.
Because the beard, like a ring or a watch, has the meaning of an ornament. It can make the image appear more rough, brave, mature, confident, reliable, masculine and authoritative.
Jesus is no exception. Originally, there were two versions of the image of Jesus, one without beard and one with beard. Eventually the priests confirmed the bearded version because they considered the bearded Jesus to be masculine and authoritative.
Also as a symbol of power, only pharaohs in ancient Egypt could grow beards.
In King Henry VIII, the beard also symbolizes long live friendship. François and Henry had specifically vowed to grow beards together and become "bearded brothers".
By the late 1760s, however, the beard had been considered rude, and as the United States entered the Civil War, the beard quickly became a symbol of masculinity and strength.
In the 1830s and 1840s, the beard became a symbol of socialist workers in Europe.
In the mid-to-late 19th century, beards became a symbol of rich, middle-class men. Many of the merchants who became rich overnight as a result of the gold rush, such as steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, financier Jay Gould and railroad tycoon William Henry Vanderbilt grew beards.
During the English Crimean War, the beard was a symbol of heroism. People are raising beards, and the pomp is so exaggerated that you can hardly see men without beards in the UK.
There have also been three social movements in history dedicated to beards called the Beard Movement. Since then, the image of the beard in the man's heart has become more and more powerful.
There are also practical reasons why bearding is popular.
Although the so-called safety razor has appeared since the 1770s, the experience is not good, and there is a certain danger. If the razor is not cleaned or rusty, shaving can be life-threatening. The brother of the great writer Henry David Thoreau was injured while shaving and suffered tetanus, and died as a result.
It wasn't until American inventor King Camp Gillette came up with the idea of disposable razors in 1895 and successfully developed and popularized them in 1901 that people accepted shaving. This blade was what we later became known as Gillette. The advent of Gillette disposable blades has made germs no longer threaten human health, and everyone is no longer afraid of shaving.
But men's enthusiasm for beards has not diminished. Because in addition to reflecting masculinity and male hormones, it is more of a symbol of fashion and lifestyle. It is always an expression of male charm.
In modern times, Glamour magazine has selected the sexiest 100 men, and 8 out of the top 10 have beards. These include Jamie Donan of Fifty Shades of Grey, Aidan Turner of Bordak, Robert Pattinson of Twilight, and many more. This is even more convincing: sure enough, men still have beards and are more attractive.
Beards are undoubtedly still very popular, especially in retro circles. The combination of beard and different styles of clothing has its own taste. After being interpreted by many vintage wear Icons, it is even more attractive.
Like Japanese bloggers, the familiar Little Kiki Shipoggy, known for his iconic beard, a gentleman's hat, and a unique fashion outfit of suits and street fusion, set off a wave of poggy style fashion.
Traditional suit styles and street pieces are mixed and matched, and the denim fabric and suit fabric are spliced together to form suits and graffiti suits, making poggy's style more youthful and playful than formal. Add a beard, add a sense of stability, otherwise you can't suppress the aura.
Another male blogger from Japan, Yoichi Ohwashi Ohwashi, is not as famous as poggy, but his style of dress is what I like better.
Born in 1984, Youichi also had a youthful age without beards, but obviously did not feel more after growing a beard. After having a beard, he is a tough and handsome uncle that girls will indulge in.
His style is dominated by the rugged gentlemanly Rugged Gentleman.
Vintage military jackets such as trench coats and jackets are Youichi's favorites.
In particular, this Barbar 40s International jacket is an antique collection with a very high appearance rate.
Finally, I would like to introduce a retro enthusiast in the finale, Mark Large, a heavy RRL enthusiast from the United Kingdom, and even the Instagram profile reads "Ralph Lauren Collector".
Mark Large, a British renovation worker working on heritage conservation projects in and around London's Eltham, is a serious "working class". His American vintage outfits are brilliant in every one of them.
Retro gentlemanly style is the main battlefield of Mark Large. Among them, the checked gentleman's suit is his favorite, with a variety of check coats.
Rugged military uniforms, denim, and western style are not to mention.
He also likes to pair bold and energetic colourful pieces that are both vintage and playful.
After seeing the outfits of these retro players, are you a little excited about growing a beard? However, everyone found that no, although there are many types of beards, what one-word beard, eight-character beard, goatee, beard and so on, but I feel that most bloggers are more favored by beard.
Historically, there have also been special beard movements. People once thought that not leaving a beard would look feminine, and they had to grow a beard. But later, because the radicals had long and messy beards to show their resistance to capitalism, decent men, including capitalists, began to dislike beards. In the early years, Londoners also refused to grow a beard, believing that it was a symbol of conservative and older generations.
However, the beard is the most versatile of all beards. It can easily digest the style of gentleman's clothing, military uniforms and so on.
Finally, I would like to tell you a little, although the beard is very stylish, but the beard is not good, and if you are not careful, it will look sloppy and greasy, and you need to take good care of it. Moreover, everyone should consider their own face shape, and leaving a suitable beard shape will be the icing on the cake.
