This charcoal gray sweater by Nala Los Angeles declares your love for the "man bun."

The man bun is a hairstyle adored equally by everyday hipsters and [celebrity hunks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vintage-styles). Some famous examples of the man bun include Jared Leto, Johnny Depp and Leonardo DiCaprio. Though the aesthetic of the man bun could be considered vaguely homeless-looking, it has a mysterious ability to attract, nay, bewitch, women everywhere.

While I cannot qualify the allure of the man bun (perhaps the magic is in its mystery), I can tell you that it's a good look. Ladies, if you're on the "bun hunt," so to speak, let the world know by donning this [comfortable cotton-blend sweater](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uniqlos-souffl-yarn). It'll make your search that much easier!
