22 Wild Ways to Up the Drama on a Basic Beard

You already know that we love beards here at POPSUGAR, but there's nothing more disappointing than lackluster facial scruff. Forget patchiness or five o'clock shadow — we want to see some seriously bold bristles. If you or the man you love is in dire need of beardspiration, the two best friends behind The Gay Beards are about to become your whisker whisperers.

The Portland, OR, residents have devoted their social media accounts (and their faces!) to majestic beards that they've accessorized with feathers, glitter, balloons, and more. While some of the styles may be more appropriate for a photo shoot, we wouldn't mind seeing floral crowns of the facial hair variety at our next music festival. Read on to see some of our favorite looks.
