The article humorously critiques the recent trend of wispy, uneven moustaches sported by young men, likening them to the beginnings of facial hair seen in adolescence. The author expresses a preference for fuller, more established moustaches, like that of composer Sir Edward Elgar. Initially considering that these facial hair choices might be tied to charity events, the author is surprised to find that it is not Movember, sparking curiosity about the trend's legitimacy and origins. Ultimately, the questioning tone indicates skepticism about whether those sporting these styles genuinely believe they look good.
What is it with all these wispy moustaches suddenly decorating young men's faces? These things, which have crawled their way on to so many upper lips, aren't fully formed moustaches.
It's the kind of moustache you grow when puberty first makes it possible to do so, the debut facial hair with which you aim to convince publicans that you're old enough to be served alcohol.
My firm view on moustaches, for the infinitesimally little it's worth, is to go big or go home.
Could it be, could it really be, that they think these things look good? It would seem to be so.
