    British women are asking their partners to keep their moustaches once Movember is over

    New research suggests that many British women are finding Movember's contribution to their partners’ faces sexy, and that a quarter of them will be asking their partners to refrain from shaving off their moustaches once the month is through.

    Mycelebrityfashion.co.uk also concluded that over 40 per cent of those who said they wanted their partner to keep their moustache were converts to the look, with many of them having been against the original idea.

    ‘Movember is all for a great cause and I find it amazing to see how men get together to support such an important awareness campaign each year,’ said Bobbie Malpass, editor at mycelebrityfashion.co.uk.

    ‘I’m actually surprised to see that many women want their partners to keep the moustache at the end of the month,’ she said, commenting on the findings.

    ‘It’s not a common look for men these days… it’s clearly a good look according to the ladies!’ she continued.

    But not all are impressed, with 17 per cent of women saying they thought it made their partner look ‘funny.’
