Why Are Goatees So Popular?

There is yet another element to the goatee that gives it perennial popularity: it's very easy to grow. For men in their late teens or early 20s whose beards are not that full yet, the goatee is much more popular, because the hair on the upper lip and the chin comes in more densely than in any other part of the face.

Do goatees ever look good?

Goatees look especially good on slim, angular faces (but don't let them grow too long or they'll make your face look too lean) and can make a round face look slightly slimmer – a trick used by goatee guru George Michael.

What does a goatee signify?

Goatees have also been used to signify a character's transformation from positive or neutral to evil.
