Goatee

The goatee is a Barbe made up exclusively of a tuft of Poil on the chin. When the goatee is short, one speaks about goatee . Fallen in disuse, the goatee knew a rebirth in the Années 1990 integrated with the appearance of an alternative with a moustache, the goat , which was popularized by the singers, actors and sportsmen of the moment. The word “goat” surely comes from the visible tuft of hair on the chin of the adult Bouc.

Styles

  • Musketeer: a small pointed goatee with a fine moustache with English, like that carried by the Musketeer S French.

  • Van Dyck : a goatee and a moustache at the ends turned over to the top, like that carried by the Flemish painter of the XVIIe century, Anthony Van Dyck. In the everyday usage, “Van Dyck” can gather any combination of moustache and goatee.
