Ins and outs, must-haves and seasonal styles are all very well, but it’s much more important to find your own style because that’s the only thing that really suits you. From designer stubble to a moustache or full beard, there are no limits to creativity when it comes to facial hair. But we believe styling shouldn’t stop there – because chest hair deserves regular care and attention too.
Russell Brand, Jude Law and Robbie Williams make no secret of their personal preference for hairy chests. They don’t shave, only trim.
Everyone’s chest hair has its own structure. It can be strong and smooth, fine and curly … or perhaps just a few hairs scattered here and there. Whatever the case, one thing’s for sure: styling and care are important. Can we all agree on that?
If your chest hair is irregular, a clean shave is best. No matter whether your torso is muscular or less so, an even, consistent look is always an advantage. But if you see your chest hair as an important masculine characteristic, it’s good to trim all the hairs to the same length. That way, T-shirts will sit better in summer and your hair won’t show through. Sweat patterns that appear from deep within your hairy jungle are another thing that tends to turn the ladies off. So when spring comes, it’s high time to get out the hair or beard trimmer and get to work.
Men with dense chest hair who find trimming isn’t enough are better off clean shaving, especially in summer. Since less hair means less sweat, you can apply creams on the beach or after you shower faster and more evenly. Swimmers, racing cyclists and other athletes have known this for years. They shave practically everywhere from head to foot.
Where your chest ends, whether you trim below the belt and what pubic styles you try out are entirely up to you. While more and more men now tend to shave their bodies, there isn’t really a clear trend. So the best way is to just follow your preferences, and perhaps those of your partner too. Because nobody wants hairs in their summer look. Or their mouth. Or their tight latex costume.
