Stubble beard
A short, even shadow of a few days’ growth. It adds character to the face and depth to the jawline, and it’s one of the most popular beard styles because it looks both groomed and relaxed.

About Stubble
Stubble is usually three to seven days of growth, around one to two millimeters. To keep it at that length, trim the whole face to the same length every two or three days with an adjustable beard trimmer. Keeping the neckline and cheek line clean is what makes stubble look groomed rather than messy.
On a round face, the shadow around the jaw makes the face look more angular. On square and oval faces, it defines the jawline. It also works well on patchy beards, since gaps are far less noticeable at a short length. It pairs well with short hairstyles like a buzz cut or fade.
How long should stubble be?
Usually between 1 and 3 millimeters. Shorter looks like a post-shave shadow, longer starts to look like a short beard. 2 millimeters is a good starting point.
Does stubble work on a patchy beard?
Yes. At a short length, gaps are much less noticeable, which makes stubble one of the safest choices for a patchy beard.
