Designer stubble

Designer stubble is a short growth of a man's facial hair that became popular in the 1980s. This style was worn and reinvented by singer George Michael,[1] actor Don Johnson[2] and, in the 2010s, singers Craig David and Jason Derulo[3] and was adopted by many others including Tom Cruise who restarted this trend among his Hollywood peers & members of the music industry after attending the Grammy Awards in 2005. Several companies manufacture beard trimmers designed to maintain the designer stubble look.[4] Being created by short trimming of the beard to (typically) 1 to 3mm designer stubble is distinct from five o'clock shadow which is the much lighter, stiffer growth which is the first sign of the return of the beard after shaving.[5]

For the stubble remaining in fields after harvest, see crop residue.
