A feminine take on a mustache: cool or not

A mustache with a small beard or two-day stubble has been considered stylish for years. But individually, they are perceived differently. A beard without a mustache is associated with boatswains who sailed the seas centuries ago. And a mustache without a beard - with the heroes of films of the 70-80s (especially if there are also sideburns in the kit).

Mustaches have undeniable disadvantages

1. They are not suitable for everyone. There are men who make mustaches unpleasant and old-fashioned. Here, as with a hairstyle - you need to carefully choose what is right for you. It may not even be worth starting to grow a mustache.

For example, Henry Cavill, a stately Superman in his prime, had a mustache turned into a lumberjack of an incomprehensible age.

And cute Stanley Tucci looks like a maniac with a mustache (which he is in the movie "Lovely Bones").

2. They need to be looked after. Cut so that the hair does not stick out in different directions and lie beautifully, follow the shape and even, in some cases, curl. This is a whole science, which not everyone can master. This means that you will have to periodically visit the barbershop and spend money.

3. Food gets stuck in the mustache. This is fixable. But once the companion of a mustachioed person sees crumbs in them (or something worse), the impression deteriorates forever. Alas.

4. For many men, they are reddish for some reason. Even if the man himself is dark-haired or brown-haired. It looks strange.

5. They tickle or prick. Although for some it may be a plus.

6. A mustache is associated with a grown man. With Dad. How to kiss after that?

7. In proverbs and sayings, people with mustaches, as a rule, are not presented in the best light:

The beard is not in honor, but the cat has a mustache.
The mustache is great, but you can't cut out all the beards.
Not everyone who has a mustache is a man: a mustache and a cat, a beard is a goat.
The only thing the poor man has to do is twist his mustache.
A lot of beauty: some cheekbones and a mustache.

But there are also several advantages

1. A man with a mustache that goes to him is most likely a creative person, the opposite of the unpleasant image of an ossified "white collar". He is in trend, knows how to take care of himself. And this cannot but rejoice.

2. A mustache is a certain status. They say that mustachioed men climb the career ladder faster. Peter I, as you know, shaved off his beards and mustaches for his boyars, and kept them for himself. It is symbolic.

3. Mustaches can change (or hide) age. Already no one will tell you: "The beardless youth!" What is nice, you can get rejuvenated just after a couple of strokes of the razor.

4. You can hide an inappropriate smile under a mustache.

5. Men with neat, stylish mustaches are associated with gentlemen.

6. Manipulation with a mustache helps to radically change the image. Shaving them off during times of intense stress can lead to a sense of release and renewal.

7. There are men who have a mustache very much: this is an integral part of their image. And without that iconic mustache, they look strange.

What mustache is definitely not worth growing

Too big. Think about those around you: how are you going to ride a minibus with such wealth? Going to the cinema? Going outside in rain or heavy snow?
