Designer stubble
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For the stubble remaining in fields after harvest see crop residue.
Designer stubble is a short growth of a man's facial hair that became popular in the 1980s. This style was worn and reinvented by singer George Michael[1] and actor Don Johnson and was adopted by many others.[2] Several companies manufacture beard trimmers designed to maintain designer stubble,[3] which is also known as "five o'clock shadow".[4] Richard Nixon was known to have a rapid facial hair grow back, and looked 'shady' with his '5 o' clock shadow' in contrast to the youthful, clean-cut, handsome JFK in black and white television debates, and later appearances when he did become President.[5] It has also made a comeback in the early 2000s due to its popularization by David Beckham and George Clooney.
