It's the dawn of a new fashion era. After Balenciaga unveiled their 'towel skirt' as part of their Spring 2024 collection, the internet has gone wild. With a price tag of $925 (£740), the unisex skirt looks uncannily like a standard beige bath towel.
Those looking to make a statement after stepping out of the shower, look no further. The 'towel skirt' can be pre-ordered from Kim Kardashian's favourite fashion house and it's made waves on social media. One joker wrote on X, "A towel skirt? I think Balenciaga is a social experiment to test how dumb we are."
Given the hefty price tag, it's no surprise that Ikea jumped on the opportunity for a clever marketing campaign with their own rival towel skirt, which only costs £16. The Swedish superstore even posted a hilarious response on its socials, which got everyone talking.
Elsewhere on TikTok, creators have shown that you don't need a Kim K budget to rock the look. Tutorial videos have been popping up, with one creator, @megankatemcg, writing: "POV: Housekeeping just delivered your fresh Balenciaga skirt."
Period tracking app, Clue, took to their social media to say the towel skirt could come in handy in unexpected ways, while other TikTok users have been making their own homemade versions out of towels.
So, would you spend big on this skirt? Although it might seem strange, we live in a world where a pair of big red clown boots sold out. You could be stepping out in your towel before you know it.
