Dutch Beard – Bold. Traditional. Full of Character.
The Dutch Beard – also known as the Old Dutch or Amish Beard – is a striking style rooted in heritage and strength.
Defined by a wide, full chin and cheek beard without a moustache, this look dates back to farming and religious communities but has evolved into a modern-day statement of individuality and presence.
It’s bold. It’s traditional. And it’s definitely not for the faint-hearted.

❓FAQ – Dutch Beard Style
1. Why is the moustache removed in the Dutch Beard style?
It’s a core element of the look. The clean upper lip creates a strong contrast and pays homage to traditional roots, especially Amish and Old Dutch cultures.
Â
2. Is the Dutch Beard easy to maintain?
It’s relatively low-maintenance, but it does require regular shaping and daily oiling. The moustache area must be kept clean-shaven, and the beard combed out to avoid tangling.
3. Can I wear the Dutch Beard casually or does it look too intense?
That’s the beauty of it – the Dutch Beard is versatile. Worn with natural confidence and care, it can look earthy and powerful, or sophisticated and intentional.
