In 2025, the beard is confirmed as a key element in men's style, capable of transforming a face and telling a story. This year's trends lean toward a mix of modern elegance, vintage references, and a strong focus on grooming and personalization. No matter whether you prefer a full beard or a more minimalist look, 2025 offers solutions for every style and personality. Before discovering the trends for the new year, when choosing a beard style, it is important to consider several factors such as face shape as some styles are better suited to oval, square, or round faces; but also beard density and personal style in order to opt for styles that go along with the growth of one's beard hairs and reflect one's self-expression. Let's find out what news the new year has in store in the beardstyle theme!
Corporate full beard: a comeback in style
The long, full beard is back in style in 2025, but with a modern twist. The Corporate full beard is now paired with precise contours and impeccable grooming to avoid an overly wild effect. This style lends an air of maturity and authority: it is perfect for those who want to make a style statement in settings as informal as they are professional. This style covers all major areas of the face, including cheeks, chin, jawline, mustache and neck. It requires even growth and good hair density to achieve a full, voluminous effect. Although it is a natural look, the Corporate full beard needs well-delineated contours on the cheeks and neck to avoid a scruffy appearance. The shape of the beard should be balanced against the structure of the face, with an even length on both sides. As tools to be used for managing this style, the trimmer can be useful to even out the length and define the contours, the razor to keep the area under the neck clean and define the edges on the cheeks, and the brush (or comb) to detangle and direct the hairs in the same direction. In terms of products to use, however, the use of a shampoo is useful for cleansing the beard and an oil to nourish and soften the hair. Restorative Nourishing Shampoo, in addition to its cleansing power, brightens and silks the beard while imparting a yummy almond and pistachio scent. Secret Potion All-In-One Beard Oil, in one of three available fragrances, nourishes and softens even the driest and frizziest beards.

Mid Fade Beard: the masterpiece of the shade
The Mid Fade Beard is one of the hottest trends in 2025. This style involves progressive shading from the sides of the face, with the beard lengthening toward the chin. The result is a modern and sophisticated look, perfect for those who love precision and detail. Pairing it with a shaded haircut, such as a Taper Fade, makes this beard look even more harmonious and uniform. The shade starts from the middle of the cheeks, between the temple and the jawline, halfway between the Low Fade (lower) and the High Fade (higher). The transition between shaved skin and full beard is progressive, creating a balanced and harmonious effect. The fade area covers a significant portion of the cheek, making it prominent but not dominant. The upper cheek area is usually defined with sharp contours, maintaining a clear line separating the beard from the skin. The line below the neck is well trimmed to avoid a neglected appearance and balance the overall look. Although the transition is obvious, the shade should not look stiff or artificial but progressive and gradual. While at home it is possible to manage contour definition on your own using a razor and our Invisible Shaving Gel, when it comes to managing the shade it would be best to rely on the expert hands of your trusted barber. To combat post-shave skin irritation while taming and softening each beard hair, Agnostico Spiced All-In-One Balm imparts all the hydration needed while giving a peppery, anise-scented touch to skin and beard. The Mid Fade Beard is a look clean enough to suit professional settings, but at the same time versatile enough to make its mark in casual settings as well.

Short Beard: the hybrid that people like
The Short Beard, or short beard, is a style that is positioned between the three-day beard (Stubble Beard) and the Full Beard. It is distinguished by an even and restrained length between 5 mm and 10 mm (1 cm), making it a versatile choice suitable for multiple settings, from casual to professional. This style is prized for its balance of practicality and sophistication. The cheeks can be left natural or defined with a clean line, depending on preference. The area below the Adam's apple should be well trimmed to avoid a neglected look; sideburns and mustache should be well integrated into the beard for a balanced look. To maintain the ideal length and a neat look, you should use the trimmer every 5-7 days and trim the edges with a razor. As for the products to be used, you need a product with a hybrid function that can take care of both the beard and the facial skin underneath: the Anti-Stress Night Mask, used as a night treatment but also as an SOS moisturizer during the day, has brightening power on the facial skin and at the same time moisturizing on the beard hair. This beard style covers the cheeks, jawline, chin, mustache, and neck with a shorter length on the sides and slightly more pronounced on the chin to enhance the structure of the face. The look should be even but not too stiff, with smooth transitions between different areas of the face. It gives a masculine and confident air, defining facial contours and creating a sculpted effect. It is perfect for those seeking a neat and professional look with the advantage that, compared to longer beards, it requires less commitment in terms of time, care and products.

Ducktail beard: a timeless style
The Ducktail Beard, literally “ducktail beard,” is a style that combines elegance and practicality, distinguished by its distinctive shape, reminiscent of a duck's tail. This versatile and timeless look is widely appreciated for its balance between a natural look and thoughtful design. The Ducktail Beard is developed with a conical shape, gradually lengthening from the chin, reminiscent of the rounded tip of a duck tail. It can be worn in different lengths, depending on personal preference and facial structure, but the chin is always the longest and most prominent point. The tapered shape at the chin helps create a lengthening optical effect, making it ideal for round or square faces as it balances proportions. The chin is the focal point of this style, often shaped to look more pointed and well-defined than the rest of the beard. It requires periodic trimming to keep the shape symmetrical and the chin well shaped. For trim management, a trimmer is recommended to make precise adjustments and keep the length of the beard in check at the cheeks and chin. A beard brush or comb, on the other hand, is essential to keep hairs oriented in the right direction, especially on the chin, which tends to be longer and untamed. Given the length, the use of a dry oil such as Oliocento is essential to keep the hairs soft and the skin underneath elastic. To give, on the other hand, the iconic pointed shape of this beardstyle, Invisible Styling Gel helps sculpt and fix each hair without leaving residue.
