How to Do a Chevron Mustache

Outlining the shape of the top lip in a chevron shape (or arrow pointing upwards), the Chevron Mustache is sometimes described as the “Freddie Mercury mustache” because of its cool 80s vibe. It suits oval-shaped faces particularly well.

It varies. For best results, give it two to three months to allow your facial hair to grow dense, then shape it into a chevron style. Facial hair typically grows half an inch per month but it’s worth the wait.

Grooming after you’ve trimmed your mustache is important to keep it looking tip top. Wash and dry your face daily. Brush down with a beard comb. Smooth on some beard softener to keep your Chevron Mustache looking neat. Trim occasionally to keep those sharp lines looking sharp.

Short answer: Yes. We recommend a shorter beard style with a modern Chevron Mustache to enhance the look. A Goatee and Chevron Mustache make a flattering and stylish combination.

All down to your personal taste. A Chevron Mustache minus stubble is ultra-neat and more military aka “Ron Swanson,” while neatly trimmed stubble is more relaxed. Your call.
