Are We Witnessing a Mustache Revolution?

Filed under: Vintage and Retro, Men

A mustache clad Robert Downey Jr. at the Japanese premiere of Iron ManWhen you consider the sheer number of mustaches appearing in Hollywood films and even on the red carpet these days, some of us are nervously wondering: is the mustache about to make a comeback? As painful as it is to watch, A-list stars the likes of James Franco and Robert Downey Jr. (pictured) have been showing off their upper lip hair on and off the screen. Could 2009 really be the historic year that marks the return of the long-scorned stache?

Beards of the red carpet: Sean Combs

Filed under: Style in the News, Men, Red Carpet Trends



If anyone can navigate the intricacies of men's facial hair, it's Sean Combs. What can't the guy do? He's already managed a successful music career, fashion design, and now he's making his way into a nice acting career. His stylish goatee was a nice contrast to a night of facial hair abuse.

First off, the mustache and goatee combo is classic and gives him that urban refined look without upsetting the beard to hair ratio -- way to not rock the full beard. He could balance it out with some wild hairstyle, but Sean likes to keep it subtle, keeping the hair in check and topping it off with some earrings just to represent. The tux is cool, I like the low vest and the wide lapels -- everything about the ensemble is very put together.

Puffy doesn't get much credit for taking risks, but graded on general beard control, he's taking home the award. His goatee says: how about casting me in a lead role, Hollywood? Monday was the premiere of his made for TV version of 'A Raisin in the Sun.'

Facial hair 2008

Filed under: Accessories, Men, Hair Care

Excited about who will be sporting facial hair at this year's Academy Awards? Me too! Facial hair is the men's accessory of the year, and it's not just about the full beard anymore. Male or female, facial hair is impressive. It's the visual manifestation of testosterone -- and your ability to tastefully sculpt and control it displays your ability to tame the hormone that makes people go berserk.

In the anticipation of Styledash's list of "best celebrity facial hair at the Oscars 2008," I thought you might enjoy this video, where one man talks about the difficult task of controlling the wild hairs on his face. Enjoy.

The dandiest ways to wear ties and pocket squares

Filed under: Men

Recently, my love for dandyism and all things dandy has experienced a strange revitalization. It is because of this that I have started researching more about Lord Whimsy and his book, The Affected Provincial's Companion. Anne wrote about the companion when it first came out a few months ago, but I never really looked into it until a few days ago. As it turns out, the book has a lovely little website with a tutorial page, featuring fourteen fabulous step-by-step PDFs for how to do various tie knots and pocket square styles. There are also two documents about the grooming of handlebar mustaches. Take note, males of all ages! The tutorials are too easy to ignore.
