The Internet Is Trolling Balenciaga Over This Absurd $1,290 T-Shirt

If you've ever seen videos of fashion shows, occasionally a model will strut her stuff on the catwalk in the most absurd outfit. Of course, much like beauty, fashion can sometimes be in the eye of the beholder, and if that is true, some rich people have very, very strange eyes for fashion. You can tell this because luxury fashion house Balenciaga is now selling an incredibly weird shirt for a very big price tag.
They call the piece the T-Shirt Shirt and it features a blue t-shirt with a long-sleeved button-down shirt sewn onto the front of it. The unique wardrobe choice runs customers $1,290.
But it's totally worth it because the t-shirt can actually be worn with the shirt hanging in the front or in the back.
US$1,290 for this, @BALENCIAGA??! pic.twitter.com/aQwS2MFwwk

When your mom asks you to see if the shirt fits but you don't want to change

This is basically the mullet of clothing. Business in the front, party in the back.

What's wrong? It's only like $645 per shirt.

I can really staple a button up shirt on a gym shirt and make mad money π§
