Even though mustaches, like snowflakes, come in an endless array of shapes and sizes, a gentleman is not intimidated. He knows his ’stache. We’ve begun a list below to help you decide which style is right for you. You can post additional mustache style options below.

• The handlebar. An impressive, thick mustache that curves upward at both ends. Brings to mind Sherlock Holmes novels and Elliott Gould in M*A*S*H.

• The walrus. A shaggy ’stache that droops on both sides. David Crosby sports a walrus.

• The Fu-Manchu. A thinner, wiser mustache with both ends reaching to the chin. Some say Confucius had a Fu-Manchu.

• The Zapata. A large, intimidating ’stache that extends down the side of the mouth. Hulk Hogan and Ted Nugent have been seen with Zapatas.

• The Chaplin. A small, rectangular mustache, like the ones worn by Charlie Chaplin, Oliver Hardy and, unfortunately, Hitler.

• The Errol Flynn. A trim, pencil-thin ’stache. Vincent Price sported a Flynn, and Bob Dylan recently adopted one.
