5. The Robertson Boys’ Backwoods Style – Cast of Duck Dynasty
The cast of Duck Dynasty made their claim to fame by developing a duck-calling device, as well as other products used by hunters. The show attracted viewers by exploiting the cast’s religious views and backwoods way of life, and became a hit with ten seasons under their belt. Each of the Robertson men wore long, unkempt beards that quickly became a trend among men. True, these men have gorgeous wives, but it’s more likely that these women are interested in the family’s money rather than their husbands’ looks.
Regardless, men took this trend to the extreme, letting their facial hair grow wild and topping off the look with some camo accessories. Beards may still be a popular look, thankfully they’re more groomed these days. Supposedly the long beards and camo were just for the reality show, and the men actually appeared well groomed when they weren’t filming. Thankfully this trend died along with the show when one of the main cast members, Phil Robertson, made some anti-gay remarks in an interview with GQ and A&E pulled the plug.
