Designer stubble is afacial hair style which is a short growth ofbeard, aimed to affect a ruggedmasculine or deliberately unkempt appearance.[1] In the late 20th century, it was popularized by singerGeorge Michael[2] and actorDon Johnson.[3] Several companies now manufacturebeard trimmers designed specifically to maintain the designer stubble look.[4] Typically created by trimming the beard to a length of 1–3 mm, designer stubble is roughly three days of growth, in contrast with the shorter "five o'clock shadow".[5]
