Best Websites for Online Shopping
Quarantine has made me realize how much I love online shopping. I have scoured the internet for the best clothes and the best prices. I am a college student, and even though I have steady income I like being able to buy things for less if I can, because a lot of my money goes toward adult things like gas and food. I like my online shopping to be as easy as it can be while not spending my whole paycheck. These are some of my favorite and (in my opinion) the best websites for online shopping. Read to the end because I will be sharing my best kept shopping secret. Enjoy!
SHEIN
I will always be a strong advocate for SHEIN. I think I found SHEIN when I was 15 years old and it wasn’t popular back then and no one knew if it was real or a scam. Since then, the website has grown due to its popularity on TikTok and low prices for somewhat good quality clothes. Personally, for the price I am very very happy with the quality of the clothes. When I first started ordering from SHEIN the ordering and shipping process took abnormally long, but as of recently SHEIN has been really efficient with getting orders out and delivered within a week to two week period. I know fast fashion isn’t for everyone, and people will have differing opinions. However, I love SHEIN and the numerous clothing and products that they have to offer. I MUST note that it is important to look at the reviews and descriptions on any SHEIN product or clothing item. They are essential to finding the right size and features that aren’t accurately displayed in the pictures. The sizing on SHEIN isn’t like normal stores. For example, normally I am a size small in denim shorts, but one time I read the reviews and decided to get a medium. Even when I received it the mediums were a bit snug (not too much though, those were my favorite pair of shorts I’ve ever had)
NastyGal
I do not order from NastyGal too often, but I have had many friends who have. When I’m shopping and looking for new clothes, NastyGal is always a store I make sure to hit. They have very fashionable and affordable clothing. They even sometimes have collaborations with other brands and influencers. I think this a great site to shop from if you’re looking for something unique. They always have sales going on, which is great (coming from a broke college student).
PrettyLittleThing
I’ve ordered a few things from PLT and I’ve really enjoyed everything I’ve received. It’s important to note again that it is essential to look at sizing and fabric types. One time I got a dress that I didn’t know was somewhat see-through and I was initially upset. It all ended up working out, but had I read the description I would’ve been less surprised and knew what I was getting. This website has a ton of collaborations with celebrities like Ashley Graham and Hailey Baldwin. Just like NastyGal, this site always has sales. PrettyLittleThing is very street-wear, club-wear, and personally I think they excel at it. Their clothing items look luxurious without breaking the bank, what more could a girl want?
Missguided
Two words. Playboy. Collection. You might know exactly what I’m talking about or maybe you don’t. Missguided came out with a playboy collection that covers anywhere from bras and underwear to sweatpants and hoodies. Besides these pieces, they have great options for formal wear and more casual stuff, as well as swimwear too. There are some great summer clothing options on their website and definitely deserve a chance. Make sure you are on the Missguided US website and not the UK (I tend to do that a lot and it gets kind of annoying!)
Boohoo
I feel that Boohoo is such an underrated online store. The prices from Boohoo are great and honestly the store and prices remind me a lot of SHEIN. They have a lot of different styles available and lots and lots of colors to choose from. I purchased a few tube tops (when they were in style) and I got three for five. I really liked them, however I will say that they were very thin and couldn’t be worn without a bralette. Regardless, I think Boohoo is great option for those who want a cheap and easy online shopping experience.
DollsKill
I’m ending with one of my absolute favorite sites I’ve ever come across. I have yet to pull the trigger, but trust me my basket is overflowing on this website. DollsKill is an edgy clothing site and they tend to have a lot of rave wear and night out looks. The shoes…. absolutely insane. I AM OBSESSED. If you want a one of a kind type look that will help you stand out in the crowd, DollsKill is the place you NEED to go. It is a little bit on the pricier side, but I would honestly say it’s worth it.
