Meet the new hipster Santa, complete with Nike Airs, ripped jeans and a man bun
Proving that even after hundreds of years he can still get down with the kids (of East London), Santa has today unveiled a hip new look that, frankly, wouldn’t look amiss on the Kingsland Road.
Having been an early adopter of the hipster beard, it should come as no surprise that a gifted Photoshopper has reimagined Santa for the modern age, updating his traditional red and white wardrobe with the biggest men’s fashion trends of the year, as recognised by Google.
Looking like he could have saved One Direction by stepping in as Zayn’s replacement, Santa’s new threads include a pair of colourful Nike Air Max trainers, a knitted cable knit jumper, a pair of ripped denim jeans and a canvas satchel. Put quite simply, Santa is willing to get his legs a little cold this year for the sake of fashion.
And proving he is never one to miss a grooming trick, nevermind a sartorial move, Santa has even got onboard with one of this year’s biggest hair trends: the man bun.
Scraping his white hair back into a fun bun, Santa’s top knot rivals the dizzy heights of Leonardo DiCaprio, and follows the news that ‘how to grow a man bun’ was one of the top search terms on Google this year.
Well, clearly the man has done his research.
Hipster Santa might not be a hit with everyone, but let's hope us Londoners who think he’s long been due a wardrobe overhaul can spot him on Christmas Day, sipping a flask of fair trade coffee and bestowing gifts to the people of Peckham on his fixed gear bike laden with pressies.
