Many individuals enjoy shopping for their favorite brands using online websites. There are a variety of websites for a variety of styles. Some websites have athletic clothes, some have more dressy clothes and there are others with everything in between. But there is a problem with quality and sizing for some of these popular online websites. This is a great guide to show the pros and cons of some of the very popular websites.

SHEIN – 7/10
Quality: Not the best quality, but it is still good clothing.
Sizing: Mostly true to size, sometimes runs small.
Being in the top three of the most popular online clothing websites according to yesmissy.com, SHEIN sells quality clothing for cheap prices. They mostly offer women’s clothing, but they also offer some men’s and children’s clothing. They do offer plus sizes.

“SHEIN has very trendy clothing for an extremely affordable price,” junior Kate Fairchild said. “On the other hand shipping takes awhile and you can’t always trust the quality of the clothing.”

Fashion Nova – 6/10
Quality: Good quality, a few loose threads but never any rips or tears in the material. Material is also good quality.
Sizing: Pretty much true to size.
Fashion Nova offers a unique and trendy style. They sell clothes to women, men, and kids. They also offer plus size clothing. Another feature they have is selling beauty products. Their most popular items that they sell are more on the dressy end but they still have casual outfits too. Fashion Nova actually deletes a lot of negative reviews from their website in order to keep customers buying from them. Their return is also not good because even though customers have 30 days to return an item, they do have to pay a 50 percent restocking fee.

“I like to shop from this website because they are super trendy and have a lot of different and unique items,” freshman Julia Bardenheier said. “Overall the clothes are not bad but customer service and return policy is not that great.”

Lulu’s – 10/10
Quality: Really good quality, the clothes look the same as the picture you see on the website
Sizing: True to size. The website even gives a size chart for each clothing item.
Lulu’s is a pricier brand that specializes in dresses. They sell only women’s clothes and even offer bridal dresses. Another unique item that they sell is shoes. Their shoes are good quality and are also true to size. They do not sell plus size.

“Lulu’s has cute and affordable dresses and the website is easy to navigate,” senior Grace Cooper said. “I have never had any problems with their clothes and I am always satisfied with what I get.”

Grey Bandit – 10/10
Quality: Great quality
Sizing: Everything is usually true to size.
Grey Bandit is a trendy website that offers lots of vintage clothing and unique styles. They sell only women’s clothing and specialize in comfy clothing. Everything is always even better than expected whenever you buy it. Their clothing is pricey but great quality.

“I like to shop [at Grey Bandit] because I found it and realized it fit my style perfectly and I liked so many things from their website,” junior Ava Birk said. “It’s also a smaller business than a lot of the other popular clothing brands so it’s always great to support smaller businesses. I 100% recommend their clothing to anyone who is interested.”

Gymshark – 10/10
Quality: Great quality
Sizing: Everything is mostly true to size, some leggings are bigger than normal so sizing down is sometimes a possible option.
Gymshark is a clothing brand that offers workout clothes. Although they are workout clothes, they are comfortable enough to wear anywhere. They offer men’s and women’s clothes and their clothing is reasonably priced. Everything always comes in looking exactly like the picture.
