It became the symbolic hairstyle representing everything hipster in 2015 and continues to this day.
And despite the best efforts of some to stop the top knot, it seemed to dominate the fashion scene, with many-a-boy, man, and beast adopting the bun.
After a Photoshopped picture of Donald Trump sporting a man bun went viral, our design community imagined other politicians with a similar haircut.
The world was then introduced to a real-life hipster Santa in Portland, Oregon.
So now, with the holiday celebrations winding down, we wondered how a whole line-up of
classic festive characters would look if they now found time to get to the hairdressers for a hipster make-over.
