To find the beard quiff thing that most men are sporting at the moment utterly bizarre?

I know taste is a very subjective thing but I just can't understand this look that most guys between the ages of 20 and 35 are rocking at the moment. I get that it's "trendy" but do any women actually find it attractive?

I don't think I know what the beard quiff is Blush

mrscumberbatch · 22/02/2014 16:32

Well yes, it's quite dapper and can be quite refined looking.

Definitely a nice change to the metrosexual over grooming and fake tan trend of not so long ago.

mrscumberbatch · 22/02/2014 16:33

Domestic I think OP meant beard/quiff combo.

Otherwise it's an awful lot of back combing Grin

hootloop · 22/02/2014 16:34

What does it look like? All the men I know are clean shaven. Well except my Grandad but he certainly doesn't have a beard quiff just a proper old man beard.

Cocolepew · 22/02/2014 16:34

There seems to be a lot of beardy/short hair types about atm. Hipsters I believe the youngsters call them.

Earlybird · 22/02/2014 16:34

no idea what you are talking about. Can you find a pic and post it so we can pass judgement? Grin

having always hated beards on men, suddenly I'm finding them quite attractive. It's bizarre. What next - finding moustaches attractive?! I hope not.
So, I quite like the beard/quiff combo... but I am hitting 40 in a couple of months and I think my libido has suddenly realised and I have the hormones of a teenager at the moment (hence anyone male and vaguely attractive gets the thumbs up from me, beard/quiff/stubble/glasses/not fussy really!).

Do you mean like the chap from Great British Sewing Bee?

DH has a beard and I love it. Beards are made of win.

DomesticSlobbess · 22/02/2014 16:40

Oh thank god it's a separate thing. I wasn't sure what a beard quiff would look like.

I love beards. I find that attractive men are vastly improved with a big beard on their face. Blush

Quiffs. No.

Rollergirl1 · 22/02/2014 16:40

On the iPhone at the moment so can't paste a link but will do at home. If you google image beard quiff you'll see what I mean. Is usually accompanied with rolled up chinos and loafers with no socks. Wink

If you google or Instagram ScotStreetStyle there are HUNDREDS of pictures of beardy hipster types at events.

Just y'know, in case anyone needs something nice to look at Wink

Also DP is one of them.

It's very strange, he has always been beardy but now gets hunted down in nightclubs and stopped on the street etc.

First time he has been trendy so he's delighted Grin

MadCap · 22/02/2014 16:43

I love it. It makes me go all thigh rubby.

AlpacaPicnic · 22/02/2014 16:44

'Beards are made of win'

Yes they are!!! I love a hairy caveman looks at dh with long ginger beard

hootloop · 22/02/2014 16:46

Actually now I googled it, it looks exactly like my Grandad. He has had a beard and a quiff since forever. He will thrilled to learn he is trendy at the grand age of 83.
But I am going with no, not attractive.

Cocolepew · 22/02/2014 16:48

I also hated beards but have been converted.

Rollergirl1 · 22/02/2014 16:49

Mrscumberbarch: I knew it had to have a name! Scotstreetstyle, that's the one!

Haha Rollergirl are you a local perv as well Wink

CogitoErgoSometimes · 22/02/2014 16:53

I don't know about beard quiffs but there's been a disturbing outbreak of Jack Whitehall-style facial fuzz amongst men I know recently. The last business meeting I went to was like some kind of Renaissance re-enactment. Just needed doublets and a few hey-nonnies ... Hmm

Press the link and keep pressed down until the magnifier appears. Press "select all" and then "copy". Then press in this comment box and press "paste".)

Re: the beard, they only suit some men. They look nice on the ones with a strong jawline. I like it when it looks good.

Pipbin · 22/02/2014 16:55

DH has had his beard long before they were fashionable. I think I've only seen him without one for about a week in 12 years of marriage.
However he has regular bloke hair, not this slicked back quiff carry on.

Cocolepew · 22/02/2014 16:58

helloooo

cardibach · 22/02/2014 17:57

Not at all attractive. Glad so many of you like it, though - the nice looking clean shaven men will not have such a queue now!

squoosh · 22/02/2014 17:58

Beards were fashionable three years ago.

OneHolyCow · 22/02/2014 18:02

If this is hot in Scotland I might just have to cut my stay in Spain short... looking good!
