Balenciaga's $9,000 Layered Parka Would Make Joey Tribbiani Proud

Oh, if only Joey Tribbiani could see us now. Nearly a year after bringing us a polarizing take on the "dad sneakers" trend [1], Balenciaga's Fall/Winter 2018 Ready to Wear collection has a few items for presale that almost look Friends [2]-inspired. The high-fashion brand experimented with layers in a whole new way for this collection, and once we set eyes on a certain parka, we couldn't get Joey's and Chandler's voices out of our heads.

This Layered Oversized Parka [4], while one whole coat, is actually made up of seven distinct layers of clothing. The individual layers are comprised of a hoodie, fleece jackets, plaid shirts, and a puffy overcoat. Tap into your '90s nostalgia and you may remember an iconic argument from a Friends episode, which ended in Joey wearing every single item from Chandler's closet. "Could I be wearing any more clothes?" Seems eerily familiar, right?

Well, it looks like Joey might've struck gold two decades too early with that idea, because Balenciaga's parka retails at a whopping $9,000 [5]. Yowza. While we search our couch cushions for nickles and dimes, keep scrolling through Balenciaga's other layered coat options, each equally eye-catching and (likely) Tribbiani-approved.

You Could Opt For Just Three Layers With This Puffer Jacket.

Or, Go All in With a Colorful Nylon Parka.

More Power to You, If the Seven-Layer Parka Really Calls Your Name.
