A "van dyke" is a style of facial hair that combines a goatee with a mustache, named after the 17th-century painter Anthony van Dyck. This grooming style features a pointed beard on the chin and a mustache that connects to the beard, while the cheeks are typically clean-shaven. The van dyke can vary in length and thickness, allowing for personal expression. It has been popular in various cultures and eras, often associated with artistic and bohemian lifestyles. This facial hair style remains a fashionable choice for many men today.
