FaZe Banks posted his closet on Instagram stories recently. The caption read: "If you ever wondered what $1 million in black t-shirts looks like." Racks and racks of dark grey and black tees filled the frame from top to bottom.
Look, it is a little out of touch. A million dollars in black t-shirts is a hard thing to justify to most people. That said, it is also kind of hard not to respect the commitment.
Banks has clearly found his aesthetic and he is locked in. No prints, no colors, no distractions. Just black tees in every shade of dark imaginable.
The visible pieces include graphic tees with subtle branding like a bulldog graphic labeled "Dinosaur Jr" and a Pop is Dead Radiohead Tee are visible. These are not random Walmart basics. Banks is clearly shopping at a certain level, even if the color never changes.
There is something almost funny about spending seven figures to look like you grabbed whatever was closest to the door. But that is kind of the whole point of this aesthetic.
The effort is in the curation, not the color. Banks knows exactly what he is doing. Whether it is worth a million dollars is a different question entirely. Most people would say no. Banks clearly disagrees and honestly, it is his money.
FaZe Banks Million Dollar T-Shirt Collection
FaZe Banks is one of the most prominent figures in gaming and content creation culture. His personal style has always leaned dark, minimal, and deliberately understated for someone at his level of fame.
The black t-shirt as a wardrobe staple is not a new concept, plenty of designers and creatives have built entire identities around the idea of wearing the same thing every day. What makes Banks' version interesting is the scale.
A million dollars worth of essentially the same garment in slightly different shades of dark is commitment at a level most people cannot fathom. It is excessive and weirdly disciplined at the same time.
