Balmain recently debuted a thousand-dollar shredded t-shirt, which got us thinking: How much money could you waste on a t-shirt, jeans, and a trash bag to schlep your empty wallet? Behold, the $15,500 homeless person outfit. T-Shirt: Balmain Slashed Army T-Shirt for $1,625 [ Net-a-Porter ] Sweater: Rodarte for Men (Brodarte) Crewneck Sweater for $2760 is the one Weezer was singing about: “If you want to destroy my sweater / Pull this string while I walk away / Watch me unravel I’ll soon be naked.” [ OpeningCeremony ] Jacket: Balmain Destroyed Metal Mash Shirt for $5817.60 [ LuisaViaRoma ] Jeans: After much deliberation, I’ve decided to skip these $250,000 diamond-bedazzled jeans because they’re more of a stunt item. Instead, here are the easily purchasable (depending on your credit limit) Mastermind Japan Distressed Jeans with Embroidery for $2,289 [ Farfetch ] Bag: Garbage Bag by Louis Vuitton , A.K.A. the Louis Vuitton Raindrop Besace Purse for $1996 [ Luxist ] Shoes: The world is full of hideous “distressed” shoes, like these splotchily barfed-upon McQueen peep-toes or faded denim D&G booties . But for this outfit, I have settled on Maison Martin Margiela ‘s Peep-Toe ” Wrinkled Bag ” Ankle Boots for $995, because they actually look like bunched-up garbage bags. [ Saks ] Other things you could do with $15,482.60: Keep a two-person American family above the poverty line for a year. Donate 30 heifers, 10 flocks of chickens, and a water buffalo to impoverished people the world around via Heifer International . Purchase nine-tenths of a semester at Eugene Lang. Outfit your Bentley with new rims .
