A long goatee is the loudest statement you can make with chin hair alone — the look of rockers, bikers, and men who stopped asking permission somewhere around their second motorcycle.
It concentrates all the drama at the chin, stretching the face and sharpening the profile while the cheeks stay clean. Here are 18 epic long goatee styles to try now.
01 of 18Beardstache With Long Full Goatee
If you’re the type of man who enjoys following current trends, a long goatee with a bold mustache is an excellent choice.
Goatees aren’t something we typically associate with the hipster aesthetic. But done right, this beard style slots perfectly into that world.
The most important step here is making sure your handlebar mustache is as fabulous as your goatee. You probably know what comes next: add a pair of black frame square glasses and comb your hair to one side. You can also try this long goatee with a short beard.
02 of 18Extra-Long Curly Goatee on Bald Head
Men who love to brag about their amazingly long goatees are most certainly metalheads, and honestly, they have every right to.
If you’re ready for this transformation, start growing out your goatee now. There are no limits to how long it should be. Grow it as long as you can handle, just make sure you wash it properly and frequently with a quality beard wash.
Shaving your head clean is strongly worth considering to pull this off. Without it, there’s simply too much going on.
03 of 18Dark Disconnected Goatee With Long Hair
Men with dark hair who choose to grow it long will always turn heads.
Add a goatee to that equation and the look becomes magnetic. Keep the goatee long, but restrained, because you don’t want it competing with the hair for attention.
Long hair is already doing plenty of work, so let the beard complement rather than overwhelm. Together, the hair and goatee frame the face from every angle, creating a seriously compelling front profile.
04 of 18Silver Pompadour With Long Full Goatee
Once you reach your 50s and 60s, you’ve done your fair share of experimenting with beard styles.
If you’re wondering what to try next, sometimes the best answer is the simplest one. Opt for a classic long goatee paired with a sharp pompadour on top.
This killer combination keeps things classy and age-appropriate without ever looking boring.
05 of 18Medium Full Goatee on Strong Jawline
Men with fantastic cheekbones and jaw definition don’t need to work hard to put those features on display.
A lot of guys become too focused on those features, trying to make them the sole focal point of their face. If you want to stand out, put the goatee in the spotlight instead.
Your jaw emphasis will still come through loud and clear, but this way you’ll never come off as someone who’s trying too hard.
06 of 18Long Full Goatee With Handlebar Mustache
Often referred to as the handlebar mustache, this waxed, curled ‘stache is flattering and surprisingly versatile. Try rocking long sideburns with a full goatee and handlebar mustache. On a round face, as seen here, these three elements work together to draw the eye downward and away from a fuller face shape.
07 of 18Vintage Long Pointed Goatee
A pronounced, pointed goatee is a vintage style for good reason. The texture is front and center, and the length works wonders on a round face, helping to create a narrower, more elongated appearance. A smooth haircut with flipped-out sides is a great pairing.
08 of 18Asian Long Disconnected Goatee
Dying to get rid of a baby face? A long goatee adds maturity to your look in all the right ways. There’s no mustache here, but the sideburns are long and the hair is kept relatively short, keeping the overall look clean.
09 of 18Black Men With Long Salt and Pepper Circle Beard
Who would’ve thought a sharp line-up haircut would pair so well with a salt-and-pepper rounded goatee and mustache? Black men everywhere need to try this combination.
10 of 18Long Goatee With Beard Bead Accessory
Dare to be different by threading a thick silver bead onto your long goatee. It’s a fun way to express your personality while keeping your beard contained, whether you’re out to dinner or taking the motorcycle for a ride.
11 of 18Long Pointed Goatee With Long Hair
Match center-parted long hair with an equally long, pointed goatee. Shave the mustache and keep a light five o’clock shadow to round out the look. Even when your hair is pulled back, that pointed goatee stays front and center.
12 of 18Patchy Long Goatee Bald Head
Another solid option for round faces is a short, patchy disconnected goatee. It’s low-maintenance and its clean simplicity works especially well on bald or thin-haired men.
13 of 18White Long Full Goatee With Handlebar Mustache
The contrast between a long, bushy white goatee and a thin handlebar mustache with defined curves is genuinely striking. This combination works best on balding men, and a pair of glasses ties the whole look together with a sharp, slightly punk edge.
14 of 18Long Squared Goatee for Men With Glasses
A classic go-to for younger men is a long squared goatee with a V-shape, worn alongside a buzzed haircut.
A thin mustache with an ultra-small soul patch pulls the whole look together. Men with round or oval faces will do particularly well with this style.
15 of 18Wide Long Goatee for Bald Men
Beyond its length, this goatee is also notably wide, which does a great job of balancing a fuller chin area.
It’s a strong choice for men with round faces since it visually breaks up the circular face shape. Keep it streamlined by maintaining one consistent color, like the rich dark brown shown here.
16 of 18Long Goatee With Short Full Beard
Switch up your look by combining a short full beard with a long goatee. The fullness and curly texture pair handsomely with a super short haircut.
For upkeep, run a boar-bristle brush through regularly to tame stray hairs and keep the shape clean.
17 of 18Long Pointed Goatee With Slicked-Back Flat Top
Show the world your daredevil side with a long pointed goatee and a slicked-back flat top. With a mustache, this style borders on full rockabilly territory. Part your hair to the side, work the gradual fade on one side, and comb the other half straight back for maximum impact.
18 of 18Extra-Long Wavy Goatee Style
If the classic long goatee still feels too short for you, go the extra mile in length!
This chest-length version, worn with a wavy hairstyle, brings maximum drama and features a slightly scraggly, coily texture. Men with larger noses will appreciate how this style draws the eye downward toward the beard rather than upward.
