For the love of sideburns

[salman]

Do any of you gents still maintain the classic look? I’m not talking regular sideburns, i’m talking elvis-esque side burns. The kind that make all other sideburns kneel down in respect.

I’ve recently taken to this look and absolutely love it. Mine are long enough to almost touch the jawline.

Mine are about half way down my ears and trimmed/tight in summer. My oldest son looks awesome with the old style lamb chops though he doesn't sport them anymore. I told him to grow them in with his shaved bald head and he'd look sharp. Youngest keeps them long.

Saw a chart once about face shapes vs. side burns and that helped a lot.

No.

Not a good look for a 68 year old.

I let my hair creep down . Then I have sideburns like Adam Cartwright. But I must get a haircut when I am

invited to a party given by my brother in law. Then no sideburns , because my sister complains.

For years, I wore none. This year I started wearing sideburns again. About half-way down the ear and the length creeps down a little during the week.

When I am beardless I always keep sideburns, but it's more young Elvis burns than old Elvis chops.

As a young man I sported the pencil mustache and the Midge Ure style of side burn,

Since marring in 99 both have gone, but in the past few months I've decided to go with the long straight down style, SWMBO

reckons with my now fast, greying hair they look like good.

Currently have a beard (my daughter requested it) but when I’m “clean shaven” I have sideburns (sidies) down to 1/2 cm lower than my earlobe then angled around 3cm towards the corner of my mouth (not square cut) to form a trapezoid

Noddy Holder, the classic look? Were 'mutton' chops ever a thing outside the British Isles.
