Movember: Mustaches For Your Suit!

Can't grow your own mustache? No problem! Tsaiclips allow you to wear a 'stache on your tie without the month long commitment in honor of Movember. 

available in silver, gold and gunmetal

Whether or not you think mustaches are too much of a hipster trend and needs to die down or if you think a man's face should never be naked for too long, they are here to stay; at least for the months of November to come. 

The origin of the mustache trend is not entirely clear. Some think it's from PETA's "Grow Your Own Fur" campaign in 2010. Others believe it began when Movember officially began in 2003. Those who kept the 'stache past November and did not grow it into a winter beard became an "ironic hipster". Thusly the sprouting of the mustache trend by putting a 'stache on everything or making products in the shape of mustaches, particularly the handlebar mustache.

The good news? (Yes, there is good news about the mustache trend) It raises awareness for men's health. Buy a mustache tie clip, wear it with pride and show your support with class and not in an ironic hipster way but as a proud adult who knows how to tie their own tie. Even better? Women can wear it too.

Movember, Have You Started?

No Shave November_, Movember, for beards or for moustaches. Pick which ever suits your fancy, either way; November has officially been taken over by facial hair and for a good cause or two. Both have a slightly different set of rules, goals and causes in mind, either way; you cannot shave.

Movember is all about the moustache. You must start off with a clean face. So if you haven’t shaved yet, shave now, you’re a day late. The purpose is to raise funds for men’s health. Women had October and now the Men have November. Men’s health includes raising funds for prostate cancer, testicular cancer and supporting mental health. You can of course do this independently but to help fight the good fight, go to http://us.movemeber.com to registrar and learn more. Moustaches only, no beards allowed. 

Nick Offerman has also offered his services to mademan.com to create an instructional video on how to grow a moustache for Movember.

No Shave November is all about the beards and growing as much hair as you can. Men who participate in No Shave November tend to keep their beards at least through December as well. They use the time in November to grow the beard and December to trim or style it. The purpose of No Shave November is a more independently driven fundraiser by each participant. If you choose to raise funds in the No Shave November route, you must find your own charity rather than registrar like the Movember movement, depending on what charity you choose. 

Take a look at The World Beard Championships for some inspiration for mustaches and beards alike.

Besides, facial hair can be a great accessory to suits if you're not ready to try out the pocket square or tie bar. It will always be a classic look and there's just something about a man with facial hair in a suit that has the perfect balance of sophistication and rugged masculinity.
