handlebar mustache
Upturned facial hair
A handlebar mustache is a style of mustache with long ends that curve upward, resembling the handlebars of a bicycle.
The wearer typically waxes and twists the ends to maintain the distinctive shape.
Associated with Victorian gentlemen, bartenders in craft cocktail bars, and ironic hipster fashion: He twirled his handlebar mustache like a silent-film villain.
