The corporate beard is the full beard's employable sibling: full coverage kept at one to two centimetres, with defined cheek lines and a clean neckline. It exists because workplaces accepted beards on the condition of visible discipline, and this style is that discipline made hair. It reads as competence rather than rebellion. Most men who "have a beard" for years without thinking about it are, in fact, wearing an unnamed corporate beard.
Who does it suit?
The most universally flattering full-coverage style. Short enough not to distort proportions, present enough to define a jaw on any face shape.
How to maintain it
Trim to one guard length weekly, edge cheeks and neckline twice a week. The tidiness is the style; three missed days demote it to scruff.
