Sideburns

[Vyse]

So do you like yours long, short or no side burns? Is there an acceptable length before its a no go? What do you make of the pointy look?



No burns



Short burns



Long burns



Pointy burns

If I looked like that, I'd go "full brown paper bag".

I've now got a beard but when I was sans beard I had a good set of "sidies": they varied in length and bushiness but generally they were always around ear lobe length.

I did go the full Gaz from Supergrass; back in the day, Guy Martin has a great set.

I currently have left long and right short. (Job purposes)

[SeeFive]

Just google Trevor Bolder. Just got to be part of the hipster look of tomorrow.

You are a fake mountain goat impressionist and I claim my prize.

No burns here. I find them annoying when I'm wearing my glasses.

[AB]

Mine are similar to the short. As are most people's I know.

[LordJammy]

The only people who should have sideburns are big old farmers or Victorian army sergeants. Or Guy Martin.

[TR4man]

Can't grow sideburns for toffee!

Can grow a great moustache or a goatee (should I want to) but sideburns I struggle with.

[vixen1700]

Just small short ones here, nothing would just look odd.

I agree, no burns look like your wearing a helmet.

What's wrong with a helmet?

To the middle of the ear has always seemed a reasonable compromise between appearing unable to grow facial hair, and beginning to resemble some hill-billy inbred from Arkansas.

As we are on the topic;
(Donning flame proof suit...)
It is that little tuft of hair under the lip, that sometimes extends just over the chin, or is simply pasted onto the chin, that utterly mystifies me.
How does anyone convince themselves that it is attractive or cool?

I don't judge people by these types of things, but that one is just very confusing.

You missed the full Victorian:

[prout]

AKA Bugger's grips.

[aspirated]

Used to have pointy when I was a bit younger, keeping short flat ones now until my beard grows properly

I've a full beard and for some reason beyond me that bloody tuft grows far lighter in tone than the rest.

You mean this?

Yes and as in picture 2 above (no burns).
I have no desire to directly offend anyone, but this has made a fairly recent appearance (6-8 years), and it has never ceased to amaze me when I see it.
