Beard styles for a oblong face
Oblong Face
Noticeably longer than wide, often with a tall forehead. The one face that must resist the classic advice of "just add chin length".
What to aim for
Add width, never length: fuller sides, strong horizontal moustaches, short chins. A long beard on a long face doubles the problem.

A bold moustache over deliberate stubble, built on the contrast between them.
Garibaldi
A broad, round-bottomed beard up to a hand's length, wild on top of order.
Verdi
A groomed round beard beneath a styled, standalone moustache, and opera-grade contrast between the two.

Mutton Chops
Massive sideburns that claim the cheeks, with chin and moustache shaved clean.

A huge moustache that drapes over the top lip entirely, unapologetic by design.

Long whiskers pulled straight out to the sides, tips pointed, centre narrow.
Hungarian Moustache
Big, bushy and swept to the sides from a middle parting, wild and formal at once.
