Inverted T or disconnected beards such as the Balbo beard and anchor beard are stylish and extravagant varieties of facial hair. Disconnected beard styles are defined by combining a floating moustache and high chin hair growth, which resembles an inverted capital T.

The anchor beard is a simple yet austere disconnected beard style variation. Named after its nautical anchor shape, this inverted-T beard style looks darn good while being easy to maintain. This is one of my go to styles.

One of the most popular styles is the inverted-T, which is also known as the Balbo Beard or the Anchor Beard. Unlike the traditional circle beard, an inverted-T goatee features a moustache and chin beard that aren’t connected, leaving a small gap between the two.

An anchor beard belongs to the inverted-T beard family. The beard features a soul patch connected to some chin hair, a thin mustache, and a chin strap beard along the jawline. The anchor beard is sometimes classified under goatee beard styles , but the mustache doesn’t fully connect to the beard like in a standard goatee.

Thinking of growing out a beard but not ready to fully commit to it? An anchor beard might save the day for you. This beard style focuses on the mustache, soul patch, and chin region creating an inverted T-shaped beard. It suits all face shapes and is ideal for sharpening the jawline.
