Hungarian Mustache
The Hungarian mustache is facial hair's equivalent of a symphony conductor's baton—dramatic, sweeping, and impossible to ignore. This bold style features a thick, full mustache that extends well beyond the corners of the mouth in a graceful downward swoop, like a facial hair waterfall that decided to defy gravity halfway down.

Named after the Austro-Hungarian cavalry officers who popularized this magnificent style in the 19th century. These were men who believed that if you're going to have a mustache, it should be visible from horseback.
