Mutton chops
Thick, wide sideburns that run down the cheeks and join the mustache beside the mouth, while the chin stays shaved. With a ’70s retro feel, it’s a bold look that’s hard to forget.

“I’d like mutton chops. The sideburns should run down my cheeks and join the mustache at the sides of my mouth. Please shave my chin completely. Keep the sideburns at 8 millimeters, with the lower edges level on both sides.”

About Mutton Chops
The beard starts in front of the ears, spreads over the cheeks and links up with the mustache at the sides of the mouth. The chin is shaved daily or every other day, and the sideburns are usually kept at 6 to 12 millimeters. The key detail is the lower edge, which should sit at the same height on both sides.
On a long face, the added volume at the sides makes the face look wider and more balanced. On a diamond face, it fills out a narrow jaw next to wide cheekbones, and on an oval face, it creates a striking accent. It takes six to ten weeks to grow. With a pompadour, shaggy hair, a mullet or slicked back hair, it creates a retro look.
What’s the difference between mutton chops and a horseshoe mustache?
With mutton chops, the beard covers the cheeks and joins the mustache. With a horseshoe, the cheeks are shaved and the ends of the mustache drop vertically beside the mouth to the jaw. Try both on the same photo to compare them side by side.
How long does it take to grow mutton chops?
For most people, six to ten weeks. Growing a full beard first and shaving the chin later makes the in-between phase easier. You can already see the look in Mane.
