00:00 Sideburns: Introduction
Facial hair is enjoying something of a revival in contemporary menswear. While cleanly shaven is still the default choice for many men, just as many are now opting for beards and/or mustaches.
With that being said, the contemporary facial hair en vogue is not quite as voluptuous as you might’ve seen during the Victorian or Edwardian Eras. This then raises the question as to why we’ve seen such a severe shift away from sideburns.
01:54 What Are Sideburns?
Also referred to as “sideboards” and “side whiskers”. Sideburns are a type of facial hair that is grown from the sides of the face. There are a variety of styles that can range in how bold they come across.
03:13 The History of Sideburns
It’s impossible to precisely track down when sideburns first became a prominent facial hair style. But it’s safe to say they’ve existed since the beginning of recorded history. However, the facial hair style didn’t reach its peak popularity in Western culture until around the mid-19th century.
08:36 Why Men Stopped: 1. Declining Popularity of Facial Hair Generally
09:34 2. Declining Popularity of Long Hair
11:18 3. They May Simply Have Been a Trend that Fizzled Out
12:53 4. Cultural Associations
15:17 5. Difficult Maintenance
16:48 6. Styling Confusion
We believe men should be able to express their facial hair however they like. There’s a place for each person’s unique preferences on how they style their facial hair.
18:04 Making Sideburns Work with Classic Style
If you’re just looking for a more contemporary sideburn style that is elegant & gives you a subtle way to stand out, that’s also perfectly acceptable. In a contemporary setting, we’d say the safest option is to opt for sideburns that end between halfway down and slightly past, your ears.
19:14 Conclusion
Sideburns are a facial hairstyle that often gets a bad rap in contemporary menswear. However, we think there’s still plenty of opportunity to incorporate sideburns into your own personal style.

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.

@tj-co9go 10 месяцев назад

I feel you. I had a similar revelation now that I got interested in old fashion (approximately 1880 - 1950). It really does make you feel good to wear a good suit. Something well made is an awesome experience. I am also autistic, diagnosed as Aspergers, and it is one of my special interests. I certainly put a lot of effort into my clothing. I prefer natural materials (cotton, wool), and want to be certain that the clothes feel just right when worn. I never use online shopping, when I cannot use my senses to determine the quality of the product. When I look for my daily normal looks, I go for the smart casual style, of a t-shirt, dress shirt, chinos, and sneakers or leather dress shoes. Right now I don't work thanks to studying at university, government subsidies, savings and inheritance, but maybe I will have to some time. And when I did, it was part-time I joined a historical re-enactment organisation and I am going to go to their events of the 19th century. Feels good to be around with people of a good fashion taste. It would feel sort of exaggerative and out of place to go around people in vintage clothing normally.

@Michael_R1957 10 месяцев назад

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.

It’s a three piece wool suit and the tag in the right inner pocket says 1907, but I just watched the video you guys did on menswear in the 1930s and it says zippers where starting to become more popular around that time. I can send you guys pictures or tell you more about it, but you guys seem like the folks to come to to help me get an answer of how old this suit is. I love you guys do keep up the good work

@SStupendous 5 месяцев назад

Fully agree, which is why the latter half of the 19th century (specifically c.1858-80, decades of the '60s & 70s primarily) are my favorite period of fashion. Even a sack coat, trousers and typical shirt of the era as a basic look, say, from the 1860s can easily fit into today, most people I know either realize it's directly historical fashion I wear or just think it's drip Individualism in fashion in general

@SStupendous 5 месяцев назад

@@neffyg35 Depends on exactly when, but there's a dozen fully different ways suits looked in the 1860s -80s for example, few cut quite the same way.... far more variation in neckwear, headwear, waistcoats (and collars!) than today. If it's an era where there's little variety for menswear, then we are all perfect clones now!

Now that I am sadly no longer wearing a suit, I’m not sure what is stylish. I generally fall back on Lands’ End plaid shirts and khakis. Basically the senior prep look.

When I was a reenactor in Napoleonic Era, I heard some people say that sideburns became popolar after the introduction of chinstraps on shakos (Early 1800s). Contemporary plates, incisions, paintings, seems to confirm that. After quit wigs and long hair due to the end of revolutionary fashion, after bicorns and tricorns were discharged for the adoption of shakos with metal chinstraps, soldiers started to grow their sideburns in order to protect chins from skin irritation (with occasional exception, soldiers were not allowed to grow mustaches or beards, so they could keep their sideburns) in the same way a peculiar, short tie was used to protect the neck from the friction against the collar of the jacket. I don’t know if it’s true and if it is the beginning of sideburns era, but it’s a fancy story.

@janerkenbrack3373 10 месяцев назад

I'll give you the answer to the sideburns query. They were called side whiskers, and when people were describing Burnsides, they began to have fun with the name. Burnsides side whiskers became Burnsides side-burns, as a play on his name that stuck because the General was in the news, picture included. He was prominently involved in several key battles of the American Civil War. When saying his name to others, it would be easier for them to get a mental picture by saying Sideburns.

@babygerald4645 10 месяцев назад

I can't wear a mustache because it would drive me nuts and I would look too much like my old man. I could grow a beard in about three days' time but won't because it would drive me more crazy than the mustache and it's such a trendoid thing to do these days. So I've been wearing sideburns since the 90s. Nothing crazy-- usually to the bottom of my ear and even with my haircut length. Electric trimmers with length attachments and a good pair of barbers shears are invaluable for keeping the bushiness at bay between haircuts.

Two notes: First, you did show a picture of Mr. Thoreau, you didn't talk about neck beards, which were quite popular in the 1840s. (According to some it was a birth control device). It was supplanted by some of the full beards that followed in the succeeding decades. There is, as I understand, something of a fan base for beards on the neck today, though not on anyone I know, nor would I encourage the look. Second, I had a good chuckle as you described the appropriate length of a contemporary side burn, because it sounded like it was conforming to the Navy uniform grooming standards I served under. "Go ahead, wear sideburns. So long as you can pass a uniform inspection."

@manuelcamacho1898 10 месяцев назад

Hi! Thank you for another great video!! We know relatively little on how people actually looked before the 1800’s. Portraits and sculptures before then where mostly of wealthy people who wanted an idealised view of themselves, and in many cases hired models to pose as they would like to be remembered. Since ancient times, beards and side facial heard were mostly used for religious reasons or to cover scars. These could be of actual battles or from sword duelling (duelling in Europe was either to death or to “first blood”, a mark in the face as a sign for life). The main reason facial hair seemed to increase in fashion during the mid 1800’s is simply because of photography combined with the progress in medicine (Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole during the Crimean war). More survivors meant more scars to be covered with facial hair which could now be documented through photographs. Others followed. “Sideburns” were styled by many as military helmets required the use of chin straps, which could be tricky to wear with beards. Facial hair disappeared gradually during WWI effectively due to protection against chemical weapons. The French tried separate goggles and a mouthpiece, hence they facial hair lasted longer than others. The US Army did not enter the conflict until 1917 when the technology of gas masks had evolved, and clean shaves were a must. It is useful to refer to the use of head armour through history, too. Pre WWI, it seems like after craneal protection, the next step for those who could afford it was the “sideburns” area.

During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, going clean shaven also coincided with the Sanitarian movement. By 1882, the germ theory of disease had been presented as fact but completely accepted by the medical community until just after WWI. The knowledge of specific pathogens causing specific diseases had outpaced the development of therapeutics. In response, many physicians started going clean shaven in order to be more hygienic since the belief was that microbes could spread through one’s facial hair.

I used to rock friendly mutton chops through high school and then in college I just gave up on shaving and maintained a full beard.

This could change as I may go back to a full beard to avoid looking like half the other gray-haired old men out there with goatees. 😆

It's such a shame, sideburns are sooooo hot!! I love them!! The big ones like Mike Nesmith ❤

Search ice pick sideburns. Used to get ‘‘em at the barbers but couldn’t maintain it at home. Easier to have a bald fade since it grows in nicer with little to no work

I have friendly chops. Don't see changing anytime soon

I'd 100% give them a try if I could grow them. Sadly, all I can really grow is the chin and mustache.

I rock the Friendly Mutton Chops: bare chin, mutton chops, linked by moustache. I'm also bald. And, like the Gentelman's Gazette staff, I tend towards dressing well in classic style. I've been told I look very much like an English country gentleman. Prior to this look I've alternated between clean shaven and different styles of moustaches during my careers. I prefer my current style. Stylish facial hair does require more maintenance in the morning, but so does classic men's fashion. Both are about living with intention. I find the process of grooming and selecting wardrobe focuses my mind the first thing of the day. I do custom work for people so I must pay meticulous attention to detail. I must impart that I pay that attention to detail in my daily life and by extension will do so with their projects.

I currently have a short full beard (no mustache), but I've done a few sideburn styles over the years. For a long time I had quite long peyot/peyos/forelocks in the Jewish tradition.

I mean, look at the dad in the Brady Bunch. He always had huge sideburns.

Had mutton chops going down to my jawline a few months back, gone now though because they were getting rather unruly. I was called Wolverine by my boss but he did say they were getting rather impressive. Someone else said I looked like Elvis. They were hard to maintain for me but they looked great. Perhaps I will grow them again somewhen.
