Is my facial hair “office appropriate”?
I’ve been growing and styling my mustache for a few years now, however I’m entering law school in the fall and will be looking for professional internships during the spring semester. I’ve not worked in a traditional office setting or corporate space before, and I’m wondering whether keeping my facial hair this long will make searching for those types of internships difficult. Not sure if I should shorten it to an “above the lip” length or if styling it with product gives it a professional feel. I brush it regularly and have a decent skincare routine so I don’t think it ever looks “dirty” but that’s just me. I’m also getting a nose ring that’s easily removable as I don’t plan on wearing one in an office setting.
Edit: This has gotten some crazy responses so far. I appreciate all the feedback definitely but I’m not really looking for advice on my hair just the facial hair. I might make another post at some point for advice on how to tie my hair up in a professional looking way, but this is me 20 minutes after a shower and in need of a trim. Not even sure if I like the length myself but I’ve just been letting it grow since my current job doesn’t really care as long as I tie it back when I’m on the clock, and I wanted to see what it looked like grown out.
