Shopping for clothes online get can get really expensive really fast. Fortunately, there are plenty of places that offer trendy, fashionable clothing and accessories for cheap.
Whether you’re looking for a flirty two-piece skirt set, an oversized graphic tee, or a breezy dress, you can find all of the latest styles at these 10 retailers, from fast fashion’s Shein to the ever popular Nordstrom Rack.
1. Shein
With an overwhelming selection of clothing, jewelry, shoes, and bags, Shein can be a one-stop shop. There’s workwear, activewear, and swimwear to sort through, along with going-out dresses, denim, and jewelry. You can sort by price, style, occasion, and features, like material, length, or cut.
Reviewed’s style editor, Amanda Tarlton, is a huge fan of Shein—she gets most of her clothing from the site—and recommends looking for pieces with thousands of reviews and high ratings to make sure you’re ordering something that’s good quality and actually looks like the picture.
2. Nordstrom Rack
Nordstrom is a go-to spot for trendy fashion staples, but it isn’t always cheap. That’s why so many people love Nordstrom Rack—you can find many of the same high-end brands and high-end apparel at more affordable prices.
Browse through the site which is split into categories—like women’s, men’s, beauty, home, kids, gifts, shoes and clearance—and occasions—like back-to-school outfits or party dresses—for easy navigation. You can find brands from Hanes all the way up to Gucci and, if you’re on a budget, you can filter by price with the “Under $50” section.
Nordstrom Rack also has hundreds of physical locations across the country for anyone who prefers to shop in person.
3. Zaful
