(is it just me, or should the first two be swapped?)

I think the intent is that the first one is "chill" because it's the lowest-effort approach for someone who doesn't want a beard but can't be arsed to keep fully clean-shaven. This guy doesn't care that much, but probably shaves 1-2 times per week or uses an electric shaver to keep himself presentable.

The second is a more intentional style. It takes more effort to maintain stubble on your face and also clean lines than either a full beard or the "chill" guy's style. This guy is probably doing daily maintenance on the lines as well as buzzing down the stubble regularly. So it's less "chill" because it's higher-effort.

IMO, number 2 is something like this:

Maximum effort trimmed beard

Something that requires daily, maybe even hourly maintenance to keep the lines perfectly straight and clean.

You're right, I think I just misread the captions as if it was a progression from least to most chill on that row. I've had my caffeine now, lol
