You could seriously make this same look happen for three bucks at Walmart: Balenciaga is now selling a $925 skirt that looks like you’re wearing a TOWEL. (???)
There’s not much else to describe. It’s like you just stepped out of the shower, and you’ve got a gray towel wrapped around your waist. But you’re supposed to wear it over your clothes. (???) (Here’s the listing.)
It’s not really just a towel. It’s got buttons inside. Plus an adjustable belt that’s hidden, so it won’t fall off like a normal towel could. Unlike real towels, it’s dry clean only.
They claim it has their logo on the front, but you can’t see it anywhere in the photos they’ve posted. Without that, it REALLY looks like a normal towel.
It’s unisex, by the way. So it’s the perfect gift for anyone who’s completely out of touch with what things should cost.
Sadly, they probably won’t get it in time for the holidays though. Balenciaga is just doing pre-orders. It may not ship until February.

(Here’s a photo. People on TikTok are making fun of it by parading around in actual towels.)
