23 Jul 18 Of The Most Ridiculously Overpriced T-Shirts

Every once in a while you might come across a t-shirt in Urban Outfitters or Topshop, only to check the price tag and wonder, ‘why does this strangely weathered and otherwise uninspiring cotton shirt cost $60?’ The material is nothing special, there’s no intricate design, and there seems to have been no special handwork put into it… surely nobody would actually buy this, right?

Wrong. People do buy that t-shirt, and they even buy ones that are much more pricey. The nature of the high-end fashion world is one of exclusivity and, often, grand displays of wealth. The hype around donning a brand-name has grown enough that these companies are now capable of selling the most underwhelming items for a ludicrous price, and we honestly can’t wrap our heads around it. So behold, 18 of the most ridiculously overpriced t-shirts you will ever see:

18. Valentino, $638 

For this low price, you can be on the receiving end of “have you guys seen Dave?” and “where’d he go?” jokes for all of eternity

17. Gucci, $666

For only $500 more, they’ll throw in the Sherlock Holmes hat and Harry Potter glasses!

16. Valentino, $734

Only $734 to look like you’re wearing cargo shorts on your torso? What a steal!

15. Alexander McQueen, $750

The beading is impressive, but doesn’t a grunge and anti-establishment icon like a skull being retailed to the rich and famous seem a bit ironic? 

14. Label Under Construction, $766

When people tell you you’re crazy for buying this plain black t-shirt for $766 you can snap back with, “It’s a silk and cashmere blend, okay mom?!”
