I think it is still considered unprofessional for a man to go into a work office with unshaven stubble. I’m not taking about close cut beards, or moustaches or groomed facial hair. I am talking 2-3day old stubble. I am also not talking about WFH, but going into an office environment where he will meet with colleaugues and clients.

YABU- I’m old fashioned and it is perfectly ok for a man to have wild, free range stubble these days in an office setting.

YANBU- It is not ok to have stubble in the office.

How do you get from clean shaven to close cut beard and beyond without some days of unshaven stubble?

I think it's fine. A lot of the men I know get awful skin irritation if they shave every day or every other.

I actually find a 3 day growth quite attractive on a man sometimes. Clean shaven does nothing for me. But regardless, its got nothing to do with what I find attractive.
Ultimately as long as there are no hygiene issues and someone is washing, then whether or not they shave any part of their body at all (both male or female) is no one's business in my humble opinion.

Nah, the “rugged” look has been fine for years. I think most of my male colleagues sport facial hair somewhere around a couple to a few days’ growth. Insurance, City, pretty traditional. Offices are much more casual nowadays generally.

Wow this is ridiculous!

Of course it’s not!

Same as women who don’t shave their armpits / leg hairs are also allowed out in public….

I couldn’t get excited about that no.
