Goatee
A style of facial hair centered on the chin, often worn with the cheeks shaved and sometimes combined with a mustache.
Mustache: Facial hair grown above the upper lip. A goatee may stand alone or connect to a mustache.
Full beard: A beard that covers the chin, cheeks, jawline, and often the neck. Unlike a goatee, it does not leave the cheeks clean-shaven.
Facial hair in Western culture: The changing social meanings and styles attached to facial hair in Western societies. The goatee’s associations shift with broader fashions in men’s grooming.
Facial hair grooming: The practices of trimming, shaping, and maintaining facial hair. Keeping a goatee distinct requires regular control of its edges and surrounding stubble.
Beard: Facial hair grown on the chin, cheeks, jaw, or neck. The goatee is a localized style within the broader family of beards.
Chinstrap beard: A narrow line of facial hair tracing the jaw, usually from one sideburn to the other. Its defining hair runs along the jaw rather than concentrating on the chin.
Beatnik: A participant in the 1950s and early 1960s Beat movement, associated with nonconformist culture. The goatee became one visible marker of Beat-era artistic nonconformity.
Beard trimmer: An electric grooming device designed to shorten and shape facial hair. A trimmer helps maintain the goatee’s outline and even length.
Soul patch: A small patch of facial hair immediately below the lower lip. Some goatee styles include this distinct patch above the chin beard.
Mutton chops: A style of facial hair that emphasizes the sideburns and cheeks while leaving the chin bare. It places the emphasis on the opposite part of the face from a goatee.
