Fashion: Did You Know about Lumbersexual Men?

Did You Know about Lumbersexual Men?

Here we are once again, with another new word lumbersexual. Well I have to say that lumbersexual as  a word could be very ambiguous, but then in all its ambiguity, there is still a common entity, and that common entity is the beard.  Having beards have evolved over the millennia as not only the sign of virility, but recently it has taken on a more fashionable stand in the contemporary world today. Yes! That is exactly what is trending right now: men with beards.

 Now shall we go down memory lane. From the 1920s to 1980s, the bar handle  moustache had its reign during the pre-colonial era and after the independence , when British  blokes milked Africa of its natural resources. I am sure if we accumulate black and white pictures taken during this period, we would discover how viral the bar handle moustache was, and how our grandfathers’ grin in pictures made  them look like Cheshire cats with well groomed whiskers.

Then came the period of decline for handle-bar moustache, when clean shave was probably the one topping the charts on ‘male elegance’. This happened from late 1980s to 1990s. this was the period my dad tied the nuptial knot with my mother, and he looked like a ten year old with his beardless face. I am sure most of the men that walked down the aisle during this period always kept a clean shave except for few diehard beard lovers.

At the turn of a new millennium, a new style came flooding in again: the Jewish beards. It might surprise you that this style had spun many millennia to finally arrive at this our contemporary time, wearing a new contemporary look .

 The lumbersexual guy which is perfectly depicted by the picture on this page_ although he must not necessarily be a lumberjack, the guy that works with ax, chain saw and push wheel barrow_  is a metro-sexual( a guy who cares a lot about his looks and is always classy and dressy: a dandy) who loves growing his beards and taking good care of it. 

Some lumbersexual men could make you believe the fact that their role model are the biblical Moses and Elijah, who probably had their beards sweeping off the ground anywhere they passed, they might not be far from the truth. The fact still remains that they all still kept beards except that the lumbersexual  man has a penchant for keeping his beard trimmed and not unkempt.

So, if your facial hair has such exponential growth, you might want to try out keeping beards and maintaining it and end up looking like the beautified Jesus drawn by  Leonardo da Vinci. Growing beard has the propensity to change you into that strong , virile, manly dude you never know you are. Well, what do you  know? Most men on the street of Lagos are rocking this new look.

Yes, and that reminds me. Ladies who love men that grow beards too are lumbersexual too….lol.  These ladies leer at these guys whenever they pass by them. So ladies you are also free to say you are lumbersexual when your taste in men is exclusively skewed towards the lumbersexual men.

Well, you know what they say. A man without beards is like a lion without its mane. It is nice being lumbersexual, if you really have the beards to show for it , if not, I suggest you shave clean or trim down to the manageably neat beards and tiny sideburns that can afford to keep you looking smart with your manly essence.

Shout out to all the lumbersexual men and women in the house.

So guys, good luck with your looks.
