Why Did Men Stop Wearing Sideburns?

Sideburn squad has entered the chat Rocked sideburns for close to 10 years and no intent on stopping anytime soon

The absolute legends of menswear!

I miss Gentlemans Gazette. About 2 years ago I finally started to build up my vintage (1920's-1930's era) wardrobe. This was the FIRST time in my life I genuinely got excited about clothing. As someone who is slightly on the autism scale, I am HUGE on patterns and texture, and the textiles of the era were so stimulating in that way. I loved the clean lines, the chizled shape. How put together I looked. Both fortunately, and unfortunately I just got a new job. FULL time after years of grinding for it, which will help me take care of my family better! But it's in a kitchen, so I'll have to say goodbye to the vintage clothing while I'm at work. It's for the greater good, but I'll definitely miss those suits and sweaters.

I like sideburns, some of us can't grow good beards. It's like a clean man's beard. I tried to grow out my sideburns a couple years ago and they laughed at me calling me wolverine. I have a picture of my father from the 70s and he had magnificent sideburns.

I enjoy seeing men sporting sideburns! I always have. My Dad was a clean shaven man. I always wanted him to grow sideburns. One year, for Christmas, with the assistance of my Mom, I fashioned a set of sideburns for my Dad as a Christmas gift! Seriously, I enjoyed the sideburns men wore in the 70's. Well manicured of course! Lisa

I rocked mutton chops for a couple of years before I grew in a full beard, mutton chops are an amazing in between clean shaven and bearded. Everyone seemed to like them as they were so different to the full beard trend at the time. Great video as per usual!

Is this why we haven't seen Preston in a while? He had to grow out his sideburns? I would give him a bonus check for such discipline

Excellent analysis and great presentation!

i still rock sideburns

One reason men in the 19th Century wore a lot of facial is because shaving then was rightly considered dangerous. ( if you cut yourself with the straight razor of that day it would often get infected and many men died. This left families without breadwinners.) The situation didn’t change until King Gillette popularized the safety razor. Another great video by Preston.

I've had sideburns since I was in my very early twenties - I love 'em

I never liked sideburns, especially the ostentatious 1970's version that went across the face. I even make a point of telling my barber that I don't want them.

Love the new look, Preston! 😂😂😂

I had sideburns and I loved them. I had them when I was 15 until now (18), I had to shave them because I join the army. In 3 years I rocked them like Elvis did in 50's, 68' and 70's.

I am amazed you gentleman descided to make a video about this beard style, when I descided just this monday to try the Wilhelm the First's beard style

Incredibly creative video!

An excellent presentation. 👍🏻

Hello to everyone at the Gentleman’s Gazette team! I was wondering if, after your hot/summer weather video, you’d perhaps cover how to stay stylish in humid weather as well. Where I live it gets hot in the summer but it’s always with a high humidity which makes layering with sports coats or vests very uncomfortable.

I rock sideburns that line up down to the bottom of my ears and a stache. I like the look. It works for some and doesnt for others.

I had a moustache and large sideburns as a teenager (15-17) before I grew a beard. They came down well past my ears, onto my cheeks.
