Beard styles for a round face
Round Face
Width and length nearly equal, soft jaw, full cheeks. Beards exist for this face: hair can build the angles the bone keeps to itself.
What to aim for
Add length at the chin, keep the sides short and the cheek lines low. Vertical styles slim; wide horizontal ones only add more circle.
