It’s probably surprising how little time and attention I’ve put into my beard over the years. I’ve had it almost 20 years, long before it was fashionable (which I do tell people, to my shame). Yet I’ve always cut it myself, using clippers on my hair and a combination of clippers and scissors on the beard. This amateur approach might be down to the fact I grew it as an accompaniment to shaving off my hair. The latter had been thinning for a while, and I finally took the decision to cut it all off when I left university. Growing a beard at the same time seemed like some kind of compensation. Given I could easily trim the hair myself (with my wife tidying up the back) I...

A century after her first novel “The Mysterious Affair at Styles” appeared in print, the Agatha Christie industry is still going strong.

It took me a long time to learn how to dress for my height. For years I believed that the best jeans for tall women were ones that could be shoved into boots to conceal how short they were, lest one’s exposed ankles succumb to frostbite—or worse, ridicule! At 5 feet 11, I’ve always towered over my friends, and by my mid-20s, I’d accepted my destiny as someone whose jeans would always be just a tiny bit too short. Tailoring each and every pair of pants I purchased felt time-consuming and financially irresponsible. Instead I had resigned myself to a life of pulling awkwardly at my clothes, convincing myself I could pass off full-length trousers as cropped and forgoing heels in an effort to...

Heading out into the post-pandemic world means getting a grip on our personal appearance. Women as well as men need an uplift in spirit and a renewal of...

A beard is the hair that grows on the chin, upper lip, cheeks and neck of humans and some non-human animals. In humans, usually only pubescent or adult males are able to grow beards. The beard develops during puberty. Beard growth is linked to stimulation of hair follicles in the area by dihydrotestosterone, which continues to affect beard growth after puberty. Dihydrotestosterone also promotes balding. Dihydrotestosterone is produced from testosterone, the levels of which vary with season. Beard growth rate is also genetic. My favorite beard styles to help you find a beard style that makes you feel awesome. SHORT BEARD When it comes to beards, bigger isn’t always better. Sometimes a short...
