Designer stubble is a facial hair style which is a short growth of beard, aimed to affect a rugged masculine or deliberately unkempt appearance.[1] In the late 20th century it was popularized by singer George Michael[2] and actor Don Johnson,[3] the style later regained popularity after being worn by actor Tom Cruise in the 2000s.[citation needed] Several companies now manufacture beard trimmers designed specifically to maintain the designer stubble look.[4] Typically created by trimming the beard to a length of 1–3 mm, designer stubble is roughly three days of growth, in contrast with the shorter "five o'clock shadow".[5]
