Want This Weird $1,290 Balenciaga Shirt or Nah?
Last week, Twitter discovered that luxe fashion house Balenciaga - which, let's be honest, is kinda known for trolling everyone (remember the $2,145 IKEA knockoff?) - is selling a men's T-shirt with another button-down top pinned to the front for $1,290. Two tops for the price of... like, a lot more reasonably priced tops.

I thought this Balenciaga shirt was a joke.

There also was another, very similar style to the "T-Shirt Shirt," which was two button-downs sewn together (the "Double Shirt").

Commenters soon discovered a women's version too, which sparked more confusion.
When you can’t choose between two favorite shirts: Double Shirt.

And, finally, people started to make their own T-shirt shirts and things really came full-circle.

Hey @BALENCIAGA,
I just made my own Double Shirt and it didn't cost thousands of dollars! pic.twitter.com/8daWqAGy7C- Mike (@AH_Mike) May 28, 2018
