A
horseshoe moustache, also known as a
biker moustache, is a full
moustache with vertical extensions grown on the corners of the lips and down the sides of the mouth to the jawline, resembling an upside-down
U or a
horseshoe. The
whiskers grown along the sides of the mouth in the horseshoe are sometimes referred to as "pipes". The moustache is often seen and used as a symbol of masculinity.
