When Balenciaga launched a highly-memed towel skirt final November, many have been fast to ask, “Who on earth would put on that?” Immediately, Jaden Smith bravely solutions that query. 

Let’s clear one factor up proper now, although: Smith’s skirt isn’t truly the contested Balenciaga, however an interpretation from the skate model MSFTSrep. Additionally not a terry material towel plucked from the lavatory, the skirt seems to be a grey denim, which he wore over a pair of matching, bunched-up pants. Nonetheless, the silhouette is a direct callback to the skirt that set the web ablaze late final 12 months, so Smith absolutely knew it will kick up some controversy. 

Smith was dressed for frigid temperatures, even supposing it was nearing 60 levels in Los Angeles, the place he was noticed. He paired his skirt with a black Carhartt tactical jacket, outfitted with at the very least 9 pockets (by my rely.) He wore his jacket zipped all the way in which as much as his chin along with his hood over his head, which was capped with a furry black ushanka. 

The rapper wore a pair of puffy black boots that appear like they’d fare simply as nicely in Aspen as they do on the streets of Beverly Hills. He accessorized with a pair of impenetrably darkish rectangular sun shades and a gold Cartier Juste un Clou bracelet. 

Smith has been on a utilitarian kick as of late. In November he wore a shirt with 4 zipped pockets to the Grammy’s Salute to 50 Years of Hip-Hop, and rocked a militaristic vest at a celebration in December. Immediately’s Carhartt vest appears the logical evolution of his ever-growing variety of pockets.
