5 Quick Steps To Prepare For Movember
Movember returns once more to celebrate and promote men's health. But are you ready for it? What clothing goes with your November mustache? Can your favorite hoodies go along with the 'stace? You may not need to dress up during your gaming sessions. But there are still plenty of ways to support the movement that inspired more than 6 million people all over the world.

Here are five easy ways to prepare for drawing attention to men's health risks and supporting the Movember movement.
1. Grow A Pair-of Mustaches, That Is
With so many mustache styles, you do not need to achieve the perfect handlebar mustache. Of course, the idea behind growing facial hair under the nose to become a Mo bro is sparking a conversation. So experimenting with an eye-catching style is highly recommended.
If you are into gaming, remember to modify your avatar as well. You can also customize your printed hoodies with some duct tape or the old-fashioned way with a safety pin and some woolen threads.
Let your mustache grow 1/16 inch (a couple of millimeters) below your upper lip line before sculpting your favorite facial hairstyle. On top of that, you may also need a trimmer, razor, mustache comb, shears, mustache wax, and hairspray. The last one is optional. But it helps a lot with longer styles like the Fu Manchu.
2. A New Grooming Regime Calls For Suitable Clothing
If you are sticking with Movember for the entire month, then consider upgrading your clothing. Unless you want to appear as a high-end hillbilly, which may be an option if you already have a walk-in wardrobe full of skinny clothes.
Movember was born to raise attention to the issues related to men's well-being. So, a more comfortable outfit with functional menswear that guarantees a soft feeling on the skin will do. For thirty days, you should consider wearing whatever makes you feel at ease in your own skin.
The colder air and cloudier days are perfect for some layering. So, if you are passionate about men's fashion and accessories, let it show. Go over the essential items that better portray your taste in gaming and rock your own style for a month! Also, do not be afraid of varying on the spectrum between casual and formal. You will never know what you may like wearing if you do not give it a try.
3. Beware Foamy Beer And Creamy Drinks
The preliminary step to prepare for Movember may be to exercise new productive ways to drink when you have epic staches. In short, foamy beer is not your friend. Besides, beer foam all over your mustache is pretty messy and takes the fun out of drinking beer in the first place.
- Use a protein shake glass or a canteen if you find it harder to drink with epic mustaches.
- Travel mugs work great for drinking coffee or tea without getting wet and dripping.
- Drinking from bottles is another way to bypass all facial hair without resorting to using a straw or a pint glass.
4. Think About How You Can Raise Money And Awareness For Men's Mental Health Support
In the gaming world, several events are dedicated to supporting men's health. It has been like this since the early editions of No Shave November. For starters, you can join the Movember Gaming challenge. Or create your challenge.
Perhaps, you like to create memes or post pictures on Instagram. Or you are a streamer. Even if you do not use social media, you can promote the most important messages by wearing Movember-theme hoodies or clothing.
Finally, you can support plenty of men's health projects that Movember aims to fund by donating to this charity. Or by collecting money for them in a related offline event that you can throw to bring people together.
5. Prepare To Celebrate The End Of The Month With A Party!
Men love to plan in advance. So, why don't you organize a party to celebrate the last days of Movember 2021? It doesn't even matter what day you read this. After all, it is never too early to prepare for a party. However, if it is too late, set a reminder for next year. In this way, you will not forget about such a brilliant idea!
