Designer stubble

Designer stubble is a facial hair style which is a short growth of beard, aimed to affect a rugged masculine or deliberately unkempt appearance.[1] In the late 20th century it was popularized by singer George Michael[2] and actor Don Johnson,[3] the style later regained popularity after being worn by actor Tom Cruise in the 2000s and singers Craig David and Jason Derulo in the 2010s.[4] Several companies now manufacture beard trimmers designed specifically to maintain the designer stubble look.[5] Typically created by trimming the beard to a length of 1–3 mm, designer stubble is roughly three days worth of growth, in contrast to the shorter 'five o'clock shadow'.[6]

For the stubble remaining in fields after harvest, see crop residue.
