Mutton Beard Style

No matter how you look at it beards are trendy and here to stay. However, with so many different styles it can be hard to decide what works for you.
Today we look at mutton chops; also sometimes called side curtains or side whiskers. This look is achieved when the sideburns are grown out along the jaw until the corner of the lip; although sometimes they may be shorter. The chin is usually bare and it can be worn with or without a moustache. This style was made popular again by Hugh Jackman’s character Wolverine and since then many men have been trying them out – let’s have a look.
