A goatee is a style of facial hair that consists of hair grown on the chin, often accompanied by a mustache. It can vary in shape and size, but typically, it does not include hair on the cheeks. This distinctive look has been popular among men for centuries and can give a rugged or sophisticated appearance, depending on how it is styled. Many famous figures, like Abraham Lincoln and Johnny Depp, have sported goatees, contributing to its popularity. The goatee can be a versatile choice, allowing for different variations, such as the Van Dyke, which combines a goatee with a mustache for a more dramatic effect.
