Justice Rehnquist was friendly and unpretentious. He wore scuffed Hush Puppy shoes. That was my first lesson. Clothes do not make the man. The Justice sported long sideburns and Buddy Holly glasses long after they were fashionable. And he wore loud ties that I am confident were never fashionable.

"Burnsides" became "sideburns" probably because of their location on the side of the face.

4 QUOTES WITH «SIDEBURNS»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word sideburns.
1
Tom Ford
You always notice a facelift on a woman. It's a tightness around the ears, and the scar is usually inside the ears. If I suspect it's been done, I usually move around until I can see it. But with a man, it actually pulls your beard and your sideburns back, and that's what's so strange.
2
Israel Horovitz
People expect someone with the name 'Israel Horovitz' to be a little old man with sideburns carrying a Torah.
3
Bobby Keys
When I talk about rock n' roll, to me, that goes back to the beginning of the 1950s. Blue suede shoes and sideburns, man. Pink and black coloured clothes. Turn your collar up, comb your hair in ducktails. And the music was cool. It was a whole culture then - a different world.
