The great thing about the charitable initiative Movember is you not only get to raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer, but men (and especially hairy ladies) also get to keep their faces warm in colder climates when indulging in quirky mustache fashion. Trend Hunter Editor Jana Pijak discusses top Movember fashion finds, including how Mo Sistas can support the cause.
From mustached Movember apparel to bearded winter accessories and feminine facial hair tattoos, mustache fashion takes a number of forms. The sunglasses from Urban Outfitters provide a hilarious disguise and last minute Halloween costume, where as the monochromatic mustache-printed Oppo Suit is a little less subtle. The hand-knit beard hats from Warm Yourself work for all genders and ages. The ladies can also get creative with eyeshadow and help their Mo Bros literally change the face of men's health.
