how-to-grow-mutton-chops

 

Mutton chops are what 2022 is all about, they are most certainly making a comeback. If you ask us why the mutton chops style is making a comeback in 2022 we would probably contribute it to a lot of bearded men trying to differentiate themselves from the crowd. If you're one of those people that want to look different, sport a different style and stay ahead of the trend then growing mutton chops this year is probably something that you want to consider.

That's right guys we're talking about mutton chops here not that old 5:00 shadow look that was in during 2020 and 2021. We're talking about pure and simple classic mutton chops. We know how popular beards are these days and like we said especially through the pandemic a lot of men were growing their beard out. But now that guys are back to work they're looking to look a little bit different than the other guys that just have a straight up beard. Beards are everywhere and growing mutton chops is a cool way to look different than your coworker at the office who's just got that 5:00 shadow look.

What Are Mutton Chops?

So you're probably asking yourself what the hell are mutton chops? Well guys mutton chops or basically sideburns that are a little longer and instead of trimming them straight down alongside of your face you have to allow them to grow a little bit further out onto your cheek and closer to the edge of your mouth.

This results in two larger sideburns that more closely resemble the chops from mutton which are essentially sheep. Another way to look at mutton shops are they're just beefier version of your standard sideburns. Mutton chops don't really need to be thick and bushy although they can be. Some guys will actually prefer to grow out their mutton chops in a shorter neater fashion.

Other men will decide to grow their mutton chops so they stick out in a bushier fashion. If you've ever seen old pictures of John Lennon or Elvis you'll quickly notice that even way back in the day one chops were in style. I think one of the most famous men that sported mutton chops was Hugh Jackman as the wolverine. This is probably the most famous look but again as Wolverine Hugh Jackman sported the more bushier style of mutton chops and again this might not be for everyone.

Do I Suit Mutton Chops?

Growing mutton chops is not an easy decision to make. Having a mutton chop beard is something that requires a bit of boldness on your part. It's a different look for the average man that isn't use to sporting this type of look. If you're not used to facial hair you might want to start with experimenting with different beard shapes and styles first before you dive right into mutton chops. You can't let the mutton chop style scare you. If your scared of how people will perceive you with mutton chops you will never grow this style with confidence.

If you have the confidence to grow your mutton chops you will stay ahead of the crowd and be a trend setter.

At Viking Beard Brand we believe in individualism as a man and we pride ourselves in standing out from the crowd. Growing mutton chops is the ideal way to stand out from the crowd and be your own individual.

Wearing Mutton Chops In The Office

Since the pandemic a lot of companies have relaxed their policies on facial hair and beards for their employees. We believe that we're in a new day and age where mutton chops are much more accepted in the office then maybe 20 or 30 years ago. Yes you will differentiate yourself from your coworkers by having mutton chops but we don't think that it will have any effect on the office environment specifically your bosses policies around facial hair and beards. As the acceptance in the office changes so should your beard and facial hair choices.

You might want to check with your boss first though that he's okay with you growing mutton chops in the office and that it doesn't break any company policies. Or hell you could just go ahead and grow out those mutton chops and see what the boss says afterwards. I know a lot of men like to grow their beards out during their holidays so we would also advise trying and growing your mutton chops during your holidays.
