People hate this $1,200 double T-shirt, and you probably will, too
- Balenciaga is selling a shirt that looks like a T-shirt with a button-down taped to it.
- People do not know what to think about it.
- It costs $1,200 and is available for pre-order (if you’re so inclined).
As if we didn’t have enough to worry about with “extremely cutout” jeans and platform Crocs, Balenciaga is back with a ready-to-wear piece that has left shoppers and fashionistas quite confused.
The article of clothing aptly named a T-shirt shirt is exactly what it sounds like: A T-shirt with a button-down shirt attached to it.
It’s called fashion, look it up.
Balenciaga
Just to be entirely clear: This is a regular T-shirt with a button-down shirt tacked onto the front. And it costs $1,290.
Layering is all the rage.
Balenciaga
Truly a modern marvel.

This shirt, which is currently available on preorder, truly redefines the meaning of business in the front and party in the back.
People on Twitter have a lot of thoughts.
Some think this is proof that high fashion has gone too far.

Twitter user @AH_Mike pointed out that you can get the stylish look for way less — if you have tape on hand.
Although this look is gaining traction online, it’s certainly far from the first time that a designer has tried to pull off this unique look.
Comme des Garçons notably put its spin on the faux layered style during a Fall 2012/2013 runway show by draping two mini-dresses over one another. And, as we speak, Balenciaga is also selling the Double Shirt, which is basically the business casual version of the T-shirt Shirt.
Mixing and matching patterns is so in right now.

It looks like layering is shaping up to be this summer’s hottest trend. Ahem.
