Seriously, tho, these things are expensive. I just saw a listing that said “Shop Men’s Dior T-shirts. 330 items on sale from $455.” On SALE? $455? For a t-shirt? My grandma could knit me like, 10 t-shirts for that price. And probably with more character, tbh.
I’ve been trawling through GOAT (yeah, I know, I’m part of the problem) looking at these Dior shirts and it’s wild. They’re all, like, super simple. Just the Dior logo, maybe a little something extra. And yet, people are dropping serious coin on them. I guess it’s the brand name, right? The whole “luxury” thing. Makes you feel fancy just *wearing* it, even if you’re just lounging around in your pajamas (okay, maybe *my* pajamas, not a silk Dior robe or something).
And then there’s the whole buyer protection thing on GOAT. Like, are people really getting *fake* Dior t-shirts? Good grief, the audacity! I mean, paying that much money for a fake? That’s just depressing. You might as well just print your own at home on a Hanes tee and call it a day. (Don’t actually do that, you’ll look silly).
Honestly, I’m kinda torn. Part of me understands the appeal. They’re cool, they’re stylish, they’re a status symbol. The other part of me is like, “Dude, it’s a freakin’ t-shirt! You could buy, like, a week’s worth of groceries for that much money.” Plus, what if you spill something on it? Do you even *wash* a Dior t-shirt? Like, dry clean only? That’s just more money flying out the window.
