Double the fun.
We’ve seen thong jeans and PVC pants, but Balenciaga just proved fashion can still get weirder.
Behold the brand’s T-shirt shirt, a striped short-sleeve and long-sleeve shirt with two wearing options.
According to the product’s description, the top allows you to wear the tee with a front drape effect, or the shirt with a back drape effect.
If you’re looking for something a little less casual, you’ve also got the option of a double shirt, which is a short-sleeve collard shirt with – you guessed it – a long-sleeve collared shirt attached to the front.
Obviously, the internet has a lot to say about the designs.
Idk why y’all are hating… Balenciaga out here being innovative with their new Sleeveless-sleeve-buttonup-tshirt-dress shirt-flannel-apron. https://t.co/vNzCOgoIaC
