Tucking In.
One of the coolest beauty/fashion trends for fall is hair tucked into the season’s hottest top, the turtleneck. Casually tucking your hair into a turtleneck – a la this version from J. Crew – is a slightly irreverent, yet totally chic look that also does double duty to camouflage a less than perfect hair day. Simply pull the turtleneck over your head and loosely lift hair from the base of your neck and just under your ears. Keep it sleek and simple or pull random pieces out for the illusion of a tousled crop (perfect if you’ve been thinking of going short but haven’t had the nerve).
Guys with Beards.
Besides pumpkin spiced everything, nothing says fall like a well groomed, bearded man. Plus, a beard is great for protecting the face from the harsh winds and cooler temperatures that accompany this time of year. Come to think of it, beards look great any season as long as you know how to take care of them. Here are our top 3 tips along with other facial hair do’s and don’ts from the grooming gurus at GQ:
Minimize nicks and redness by opening your pores with a hot towel before shaving or sculpting and then closing them with a cold rinse.
Take your time when shaving; you’ll thank yourself later.
Don’t be afraid to use products on your beard; we like Grooming Lounge’s Billy Jealousy Beard Control.
