A goatee and a Van Dyke are two types of beard styles worn by men. They are both quite popular at the moment, but the Van Dyke is often more popular, and is more often considered a professional look. The two styles are often confused because of their similarities.
Essentially the goatee refers to a beard grown only on the chin. There are no sideburns, and no connecting hairs leading to the upper lip. The goatee can be long or short. The term may come from the long hair grown on the chin of a goat. Contrary to many mis-definitions of goatee, the goatee does not include a mustache. It refers only to growing a short to long patch of hair on the chin.
Conversely, the Van Dyke, also called the Van Dyck after the 17th century painter Sir Anthony Van Dyck, incorporates the goatee, but also has a mustache. The earliest Van Dykes were worn with elaborately curled mustaches. Today most wear a thin to moderately thick mustache with a Van Dyke, which is not waxed to curl upward. No hair is grown on the cheeks, so it is not a full beard.
The Van Dyke is a variation of the goatee, and some also refer to the classic goatee as a Van Dyke. Hair worn only on the chin may also be called a chin beard if it is very long.
