A List Of Scenarios Where Balenciaga's £6,000, 7-Layer Coat Will Come In Handy

How you doin’?

In case you missed it, Balenciaga, fashion favourite and maker of sock-adjacent garments, has done it again.

The brand is known for dropping garments that set the internet ablaze, and its latest—a seven-layer coat that costs a cool 9 G's—is continuing the trend. Only this time, the buzz transcends fashion heads. Pop culture junkies are getting in on the fun, comparing the coat to Joey Tribbiani's iconic fit in Season 3, episode 2 of Friends, 'The On Where No One's Ready.'

The look has been fashion meme'd into oblivion. One of my favorites, @hey_reilly, perhaps did it best. Maybe someone at Balenciaga took notice.

Before everyone gets their shoes-that-look-like-socks in a bunch, I'd like to state for the record that I think this coat is extremely good. So often, we watch these runway shows, wondering how in the hell any of this fashion will ever meet function. And that's exactly why I'll tip the 17 hats I'm currently wearing on top of each other to the Balenciaga overlords. If I had nine racks laying around, I'd spend them on this (these?).

Buy Balenciaga

To be honest, it (they) could come in handy in a number of scenarios. Such as:

• Going out for sushi with her.
• Getting back at Chandler after he fucks with your underwear.
• Sleeping outside.
• Sleeping in an igloo.
• Drinking a Coors Light in an igloo.
• Hanging out in the street outside a fashion week show.
• Sleeping on the street outside a fashion week show.
• The party where there are lots of folks wearing tiny sunglasses.
• The first party your ex will be at after the breakup.
• The bank, if you're under age and trying to get a loan. (Thank you, my good man.)
• The Fuccboi Convention.
• Sleeping in the Supreme line overnight.
• When you don't feel thicc.
• Literally any job interview.
• A black-tie wedding for someone you hate.
• A casual wedding for someone you love.

Don't see any of these in your future? That's chill. You probably don't have over £6,000 of liquidity, either. But if you do, and you buy this, do me a favour: put your damn arms in the damn armholes.
