Kanye is always going to Kanye. So it should come as no surprise that despite the "camp" theme of the 2019 Met Gala, the guy showed up wearing an understated, workwear-inspired look that was completely out of line with the vibe of the evening's festivities. What is a little surprising, though, is just how affordable one of the things he's wearing is.

West wore Yeezy desert boots, black chinos, and a white tee, then topped his look off with a Dickies jacket—specifically the insulated Eisenhower jacket—that costs just $40. Plus, it's available on Amazon. You can't say that about many of the pieces that walked the red carpet last night.
