As the name suggests, a medium stubble is a beard style slightly longer than the short stubble. While the short stubble can be achieved by growing the beard for 1 to 2 days, a medium stubble may require a couple of days more. A medium stubble can be anywhere between 3 to 5 mm long. Any longer and it begins to look unkempt and sloppy. As with the short stubble, a medium stubble looks best when kept at the bottom third of a man’s face and right above the adam’s apple. Upper cheeks must be left clean shaven so that the overall look appears neat and deliberate.
