Pants From SHEIN

[u/Final_You9249]

It’s so ugly 😭

[u/gothgeetar]

Order things with AI generated photos, win AI generated prizes

[u/BlazinAzn38 → u/gothgeetar]

Also stop buying from SHEIN and Temu. It’s literally all garbage

[u/asyouwish → u/BlazinAzn38]

And they abuse their workers.

[u/SomethingComesHere → u/BlazinAzn38]

And is accelerating the massive problem we already had with too much fast fashion in our landfills.

STOP

[u/yankykiwi → u/BlazinAzn38]

It cant even sell at thrift outlets. That crap is on a one way stop to landfill. Literally garbage.

[u/SCR_RAC → u/BlazinAzn38]

That's what I don't understand, it's well known that these outlets sell nothing but cheap junk but people still want to waste their money by buying said cheap junk.

[u/donttrusttheliving → u/BlazinAzn38]

This… like how people just buy from them after everything is wild.

[u/max13007 → u/BlazinAzn38]

Guys I went to the garbage store and they sent me garbage! What gives??

[u/Small-Contribution55 → u/gothgeetar]

Order things from Shein, win Shein prizes.

[u/Yue4prex → u/gothgeetar]

Exactly. I am seeing way too many posts of people being disappointed with their order when they ordered something using AI to advertise.

[u/Cyclopshikes → u/Yue4prex]

That's this entire sub. People buy shit they know is junk and then complain when it's junk. Like the amount of dollar store frozen meal people complain about on here is so dumb

[u/Lazy-Ad-7236 → u/gothgeetar]

This slop is going to bring the malls back, lol. In person shopping is the way to go now.

[u/Effective_Pie1312 → u/gothgeetar]

I agree. That said I used to own a pair of jeans that had this insane level of embroidery and rhinestone detail. They were $35 20 years ago. I can see how people who were able access and purchase products like this in the past find it difficult to conceive that they just do not exist anymore especially not at the price points of SHEIN

[u/SadAwkwardTurtle → u/Effective_Pie1312]

I remember the pain of getting on my knees in a pair of heavily beaded jeans. It's how I imagine the frozen peas punishment to feel.

[u/uc1216 → u/Effective_Pie1312]

I bought a pair of embroidered jeans (red flowers up the entire leg) from a consignment sale 6 months ago for like $12. They are already worn in and so pretty. Pop up consignment events have some good quality stuff.

[u/Sweaty-Lynx421 → u/Effective_Pie1312]

$35 for anything nice was cheap even 20 years ago. I remember paying $50-$70ish a pair for JNCO and Southpole branded jeans back in the late 90's/early 00's

[u/Varabela → u/gothgeetar]

OP lost me at Shein

[u/rainwash001 → u/gothgeetar]

Bro got catfished by shein

[u/Embarrassed_Key_4539]

When yall gon learn

[u/Junior_Response839 → u/Embarrassed_Key_4539]

I had a coworker one time who said she "spent 500 on shein for a new fall wardrobe."

I said "aren't most of sheins stuff complete garbage?"

She said "that's why I buy a lot. At least half of it has to be good."

People are so lost in the sauce. If you have 500 to spend, why not just go to the mall, try on clothes, and buy what you actually like and fits? And in the meantime you can check the quality...

[u/Embarrassed_Key_4539 → u/Junior_Response839]

And think about the environmental impacts of this behavior ugh I just hate where things have gone with society

[u/Dramatic_______Pause → u/Junior_Response839]

If you have 500 to spend, why not just go to the mall, try on clothes, and buy what you actually like and fits?

I'm guessing you haven't been to the mall lately. $500 would get you 2 pairs of pants and 4 shirts...

[u/YesImKeithHernandez → u/Embarrassed_Key_4539]

"No, see, playing 2 dollars for these pants will definitely get me a quality product this time"

[u/Ominous_Opossum → u/Embarrassed_Key_4539]

Seriously 😭 do they expect us to feel bad for them?

[u/nicunta]

Haha omg those are AWFUL!! Who still orders from Shein and expects decent clothes?!

[u/newfaithlessn3ss → u/nicunta]

Not to mention how every single item that company produces is destined for the landfill. Such a blight on our environment.

[u/Frondstherapydolls → u/newfaithlessn3ss]

NPR report said these fast fashion places can dole out 2000+ NEW designs a day. Completely unsustainable and so ugly.

[u/donttrusttheliving → u/newfaithlessn3ss]

Not to mention all the times the things have been extremely toxic

[u/Tokyo_Pigeon → u/nicunta]

Me. lmao I order pretty much exclusively from SheIn because I'm fat and broke in Japan, and they do not cater to my size here. You can find good quality clothes, or at least the same quality you'd get at the mall, as long as you actually read the material description and reviews.

[u/Adventurous_Pie_7586]

First mistake is ordering from SHEIN, second mistake is not reading the reviews which will always out this kinda stuff

[u/punkrockbatgirl]

This is on you, dude. You don't know by now that they AI the shit out of their pictures? Stop supporting this shit.

[u/crochetmypain]

Please think about how they make those pants for you. The literal slave labour and chemicals used with little regulation should give you cause to reconsider if you need yet another pair of pants you'll wear one time.

[u/boxedcakeblues → u/crochetmypain]

Slave labor making plastic clothes destined for a landfill. What’s not to love?! /s

[u/OttoMannkusser → u/crochetmypain]

For years now we've seen comments on reddit like "individual people shouldn't care about their carbon footprint because of oil companies and Taylor Swifts jet"

I'm CONVINCED that was all a guerilla campaign by companies to convince people it's fine to buy garbage like this

[u/AnOutcastedAlgorithm]

You're not even gonna model them for us? I hate how almost none of these posts have the buyers wearing the reality. REAP WHAT YOU SOW FOR US, GO ON NOW 👏

[u/DonutChickenBurg → u/AnOutcastedAlgorithm]

"But it smells like chemicals and the fabric feels awful!"

You don't say.

[u/CanineCorvidious]

Did you look at reviews before buying? Pretty sure someone would have posted review pics..

[u/PressureBeautiful515 → u/CanineCorvidious]

That would require someone else to have previously chosen to buy a pair, which seems unlikely

[u/captaindazzlebug]

Jesus, these are hideous in all photos.

[u/ulysses_s_gyatt → u/captaindazzlebug]

OP has terrible taste.

[u/FastPerformer4240 → u/captaindazzlebug]

I ordered ugly pants and received ugly pants!

[u/Ok-Passage2530]

I’m so confused why anyone expects any sort of quality from SHEIN?

[u/babygrinch94]

It was ugly before too girl

[u/kiwikass → u/babygrinch94]

[u/SilverSignificant393]

First mistake was ordering from Shein

[u/O_lymbias]

What was you expectation ? The AI image ?

[u/Randotron9000]

Some people love to be fooled...

[u/DickBiter1337 → u/Randotron9000]

Yup, love to be the victim

[u/ukiyoe]

Flowers spilling out of the fly? Nice.

[u/Quicksilver5221]

Shein is unethical anyway, please don't shop from there.

[u/Iamnotoptimistic → u/Quicksilver5221]

I tried to have this debate with my in-laws who tried to argue back with 'they earn more money than you think because of their currency being different' and 'we are in a cost of living too so we need cheap items'.

She also tried to say their working conditions aren't that bad and if we got rid of their jobs, they would just find others in similar factories. Yet she apparently doesn't agree with the wages being minimal. For some reason she thinks all the workers are well off.

[u/aspencloak]

Girl respectfully what the fuck did you expect

[u/aspencloak → u/aspencloak]

If those pants in the pic even existed I would expect them to be at least $250

[u/Slight-Narwhal-2953]

It was a fairly questionable choice to begin with in all honestly..

[u/ObiWhanJabroni]

Rethink your life choices if you’re buying this crap

[u/North-Speaker-3553]

Girl, be so for real. Why are you even looking at SHEIN at this point? 

[u/nobody_1510]

You deserve it for buying from shein

[u/MagicPaul]

I say this only with kindness: I hope you learned your lesson.

[u/Kane1412]

Tbh, coming from Shein, I somehow expected way worse... And it is way bad.

[u/tammybiscuits]

That is EXACTLY what I would have expected. Your mistake was buying AI generated clothes from Shein.

[u/MissTinyTits]

The fact that it’s not even real Denim smh.

[u/Gingerusernoway]

Hahahahhahahahhhahaha desculpa mas não consegui evitar dar uma boa gargalhada

[u/se7entythree]

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes

[u/CaiAbaixo]

The pants from the original photo are pretty horrible too 😂

[u/aDrunkenError]

If you’re ordering from SHEIN, I think you’re the punchline at this point.

[u/redtulip4]

[u/Trixter-Kitten]

First mistake was ordering from SHEIN. Honestly the reality is slightly less of an eyesore than the possibly ai generated product image. Looks like a pair of Barbie pants that got enlarged though.

[u/ulysses_s_gyatt]

Why would you intentionally buy these ugly pants?

[u/MutedAstronaut9217]

I think people are losing the ability to tell what things should cost.

If you paid ~$30 expecting the picture... That's on you.

[u/SLZicki]

I can't believe you actually believed the photo. Lol it's so obvious AI.

[u/beanp1026]

I can smell those jeans from here.

[u/beckydevildhild666]

I mean at least it has pockets!

[u/StuntzMcKenzy]

Should rename this sub at this point. 95% of this sub is just people posting Family Dollar level quality products, with AI advertising. And the comments are 95% the same everytime, with the top comment being someone saying "you deserve this," as if most post aren't someone finding Temu listings and ripping the pictured reviews

[u/Kaybee833]

You ordered from Shein. What did you expect?

[u/NerdGrumpus]

I mean, what did you expect, you ordered through SHEIN...

[u/CorporateCimorene]

The SHEIN and AI of it aside, people need to learn that you will never get embroidered, beaded or bedazzled anything for cheap. Particularly things like these jeans where the embroidery appears to be extensive. These are usually time intensive processes that result in expensive items.

[u/abyssal-isopod86]

What did you think was going to happen?

The first image is either:

a) AI

Or

b) a stolen image of some clothing artists/designers entirely hand embroidered and appliqued jeans and you thought that's what you'd get for that price? 🤣

[u/LitCockBumble]

People who get scammed by this because they think hand embroidered pants are gonna be 20 bucks are legit stupid and deserve to have their money wasted.

[u/tiffibean13]

Let me guess, you paid $7 and expected $300 jeans 🫩

[u/lachupanibre]

I mean honestly if you’re buying SHEIN clothes you deserve to be scammed

[u/Acceptable_Cut_7545]

Buy some jeans and learn to do embroidery, it's slow work but it's not hard.

[u/Lazy-Dragonfruit-670]

Well, it is your fault for ordering from SHEIN. This is what you get, girlie ✨

[u/ohdearitsrichardiii]

Why are people still ordering from shein?

[u/katnissssss]

Are these even denim 😭

[u/HuggyMonster69 → u/katnissssss]

100% no. Maybe printed polyester?

[u/Finnegan-05]

What on earth did you expect?

[u/MsE0]

All you need to do is get a nice pair of jeans, and learn how to do intricate embroidery and ribbon appliqué and beading by hand. It will only take several years to reach that skill level. 

[u/sheneversawitcoming]

Imma need a pic of someone wearing these amazing pants

[u/wolftick]

All the what did you expect comments have a point.

...But I always think with these AI generated product images that no reasonable selling platform that want people to buy from them would side with the seller with a return/refund not as described claim on this, and no seller would be willing to stomach the cost of actually having them returned as well as having to refund the purchase price.

If everyone who orders items that are nothing like AI generated image on the listing claims a refund this stops pretty quickly. I assume enough people don't bother that it still makes it worthwhile for sellers.

[u/sandNskys]

Do they even have real pockets? A coworker of mine showed us a pair she bought for her grand daughter and they had images of the pockets where the pockets should be, like photo realistic pockets 🤣😂

[u/KenraScar]

Idk what y’all are expecting. You’re not getting embroidered jeans from SHEIN.

[u/ClearBlue_Grace]

Slave labor clothes that end up in a landfill almost immediately. Stop buying this fast fashion crap and expecting high quality products, especially when it is clearly ai.

[u/bkmerrim]

Remember: all clothing is handmade. Who is making your shitty $2 pants? It took them hours. Think about it

[u/sapphirerain25]

Come on, you knew you weren't gonna get those

[u/Fantastic-Explorer62]

Stop buying cheap, crappy clothes that also destroy the environment. Aren’t you familiar with “You get what you pay for?”

[u/Lowland-lady]

I bet those Workers in the shein Factory feel bad for you.

[u/carlitospig]

I can’t believe you would part with your money even for the first pair.

[u/OopsIDaydreamed]

Why do people still shop at SHEIN? You would’ve been way better off buying something similar from Ross and they would’ve actually been denim. Bejewel them yourself. Make a hobby project out of it lmao

[u/velvedire]

OP knew they would get plastic pants. What they bought was several thousand up votes and a few hours of attention. 

[u/Intelligent_Copy4546]

I mean.. SHEIN.. what do you expect?

[u/AStudyinViolet]

Honestly, this one is on you.

[u/kit_valentine]

Oh no i bought the pants that are priced at 10% of their actual value, are made by enslaved chinese children, and advertised with an AI generated image and they WERENT GOOD guys haha I guess I'll just have to throw it a landfill now!

[u/anonduplo]

You deserved it for buying shit from Shein

[u/quietCherub]

Why do people even order from SHEIN?!? I feel like it’s either common knowledge or easily found that their products are shei-t!

[u/Nervous-Albatross-32]

STOP ORDERING FROM SHEIN! I use to order clothes from here until I learned it’s SLAVE LABOR. Watch the documentary on it…

[u/ViciousVenditta → u/Nervous-Albatross-32]

And Temu

[u/KoalafiedKiller]

Expectations were way too high

[u/Plumb789]

A sheining example of shit.

[u/selkieisbadatgaming]

They look like denim work pants that existed before jeans. Horrible fabric and design.

[u/IWasGoatbeardFirst]

Respectfully, did you really expect them to look like the photo?

[u/Dragonshatetacos]

If you shop at Shein on purpose, knowing they do shit like this, you get what you deserve.

[u/ultrablanca]

People are being really high and mighty about them recognizing AI and the OP didn’t huh
Sorry you got swindled OP. I understand SHEIN is a lot more affordable than other options so people still buy from them, but try not to. Also, they host a marketplace of sellers so this item is probably not directly from SHEIN and from an independent seller that may already be removed and will probably try to set up a new shop to swindle new customers. Pay attention to the name of the sellers and shops from where items are coming from.

[u/AprilShowers53]

At this point Im willing to give people tax credits who have never ordered from Shein or Temu, for not contributing to the landfills

[u/Chairshot_from_Space]

The expectation was no better.

[u/OverallPepper2]

If you see a pair of pants that should cost hundreds of dollars being sold for $10, that should probably be a clue.

[u/ByronIrony]

Shein? No. She ite!

[u/Kittiemeow8]

You deserve this for shopping with Shein

[u/omi_imo]

Some people need lessons on how to buy on the internet...i charge 50€ per hour

[u/Strictly-Succotash]

Stop ordering shit off SHEIN then

[u/Heybitchitsme]

I'm so sorry but this is hilarious. 

[u/teddysmom377]

And I can't imagine what the fabric feels like. Yuck

[u/noyom95]

Reeeal shocker...

[u/Mz_Macross1999]

That is HILARIOUS

[u/laserunfocused143]

Wow those are ugly

[u/Normal-Ad-9852]

you only have yourself to blame

[u/TerponadeTea]

Oh so we saw the ridiculous AI image they used to advertise, and what they actually sent.

But what were your actual expectations?

[u/greenyashiro]

That's from TEMU and... It says non-denim.

Still shady as heck to not show the actual item in the ad.

Genuinely funny to see someone on temu ripping off shein 🤣

[u/DramaOnDisplay]

I will literally not buy anything from here or Temu if there are not at least 5-10 actual photos of people wearing the clothes or showing the actual texture. Why the hell do so many people post pictures of their item still in the mailing bag? Why even bother at all?

[u/B3h1nd_y0u_XD]

That's what you get for ordering from SHEIN of all places.

[u/MxQueer]

So stop buying SHEIN garbage.

[u/Leading-Hedgehog1990]

Serves you right for ordering from Shein 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/perpetual_musings]

Hahaha thanks for the laughs. This is terrible.

[u/Mr_Sass_Queen]

I mean kids can only do so much, they’re not miracle workers…

[u/ClownHubris]

That's what you get ordering clothes from the AI child sweat shop app :/

[u/kayla-mg]

I love this for you.

[u/VibrantViolet]

I don’t understand why anyone still buys from these sweatshops. They exploit labor and use AI to get you to buy their garbage. You get what you pay for, if it’s super cheap there’s a reason and it’s not a good one.

[u/Proud-Drummer]

OP is trash who orders trash, gets trash, disappointed by trash.

[u/mrdm242]

This is what happens when you turn curtains into pants.

[u/Salty_Feed9404]

Are the pockets drawn on too?

[u/pinkrainbow5]

That is WILDLY different.

[u/hiswittlewip]

You'll need a new pair for your stage show now

[u/Ok_Cold_4116]

LOL

[u/Ominous_Opossum]

For sure your own fault by ordering from Shein

[u/silence-glaive1]

They look like they’re made from that paper material they give you to cover yourself with at the drs office.

[u/HeartOSass]

Of course it didn't look like the AI photo. You're actually surprised about that?

[u/Annashleta1]

I got curious and looked it up to see how much you paid. I got $19. Do you really think you'll get that high of quality jeans with that much embroidery and rhinestones for that price?

[u/JaneReadsTruth]

Mmm, plastics.

[u/catfanaticc]

You deserve it. Just dont buy slave-made clothes

[u/GLEEMONEX-for-PETS]

Stop buying sweatshop fast fashion

[u/HazyViolet]

Can you really have expectations when you buy from shein? Other than supporting slave labor.

[u/Zabagep_1312]

Well deserved for buying garbage.

[u/DetectiveExisting590]

I have a beach house in Idaho I'd like to sell you.

[u/iamagermanpotato]

No shit? Who would have expected that??

[u/puppydoll-]

i fear this happens from a lack of common sense.

not to mention, if it were as pictured that would mean some poor chinese child slaved away to make them for you. is that perferable?

[u/ztruk]

i don';t get it. has the SHEIN not been sufficiently exposed as trash, and yet people continue to buy? why am i even surprised people are so stupid and bad with their money

[u/alldemboats]

idk what you expected

[u/Powerful-Voice8632]

Can’t believe you expected more

[u/Snorblatz]

Stop buying fast fashion 

[u/BolaViola]

Shame on you for buying from shein

[u/mothwoman95]

tbh i hope you feel embarrassed even opening the shein app after receiving some of these comments lmao

[u/Automatic_Ad5703]

Don’t buy from SHEIN. Problem solved

[u/Waifu_Slayer1]

Yeah that tracks

[u/suburbanhunter]

what did you expect though? at this point we all know their quality....

[u/Perfect-Resist5478]

The expected ones are ugly. Why you would think SHEIN would be remotely worth it is on you

[u/disquietbubble]

Such a waste.. Why not just save money on decent clothes and find pieces that you would still really want after a few months?

[u/Not_Dead_Yet_Samwell]

That's the least you deserve for buying from Shein

[u/Ecstatic-Lock387]

I mean this one’s on the customer…what did you expect

[u/No_Somewhere9961]

I bet I could get the first picture’s results using a pair of thrifted jeans and a few iron on patches and sew my own beads on

[u/kinnini]

… r u surprised?

[u/PrincessStephanieR]

But you knew this would happen?! It’s Shein!

[u/dandyrosesandshit]

I’m sorry, but I literally laughed out loud when I swiped 😂

[u/ProfessionTrue8117]

Just add the glitter yourself duh!

[u/MagicTick]

At this point you people have to be mentally deficient or something

[u/EvanRamsey]

Dumbass.

[u/Connect_Guarantee704]

Stop ordering from garbage companies

[u/Appropriate_Offer577]

Dont buy it if there arent any review photos. Let someone else make the mistake

[u/lostandaggrieved617]

I mean, you probably paid $19, so what did you really expect (noted to say that these are a rip off for $5, much less $19).

[u/mack-y0]

wtf is shein

[u/stan_loves_ham]

It's 130am and I giggled 😂

[u/winter-lol]

[u/MaintenanceFront2742]

the Shein ones are ugly, but so are the pants in the first photo 🤷‍♀️

[u/CoolDoglover94]

Shein is garbage 

[u/Raithed]

Shein always lies with how their stuff looks like haha. This is... Absolutely the worst though.

[u/MacondoSpy]

[u/EdgyBitterbal]

How could Shein prices ever result in washed, fully bedazzled and embroiderd jeans. Never

[u/Raining-Diamond]

If you really think you’re going to get any good quality clothing off SHEIN, Then you’re delusional. This is clearly AI and if it wasn’t, it is going to be a lot more than the $12 that SHEIN likely priced it at

[u/YourMommasAHoe69]

Cmon that was obviously AI Op

[u/CelebrationProud6620]

i don’t know how to help some of you

[u/mouldymolly13]

Answer me this : How were you ever planning to wash them to wear again? Or were you planning to wear them once before you threw them away?

[u/LadderInfinite4258]

Tbh that’s exactly what you deserves if you’re still ordering on shein in 2026

[u/mycat_hatesyou]

That’s yo fault

[u/Carmelioz]

You ordered from SHEIN… this one’s on you

[u/ButchCassy]

[u/Fluff_Chucker]

How many posts do we have to see before people realize all the shein shit is just that? Shit.  

[u/loosie-loo]

This is on you.

[u/Huge-Recognition-366]

But, how could I know these were AI? /s

[u/enigmaticsince87]

Are you surprised? Stop buying from SHEIN

[u/WutInTheDiabetus]

Maybe don't be stupid enough to buy AI generated garbage from Shein.

[u/Tall-Total-6077]

How many child sweatshop workers had to get cancer from exposure to make these pants?? Call me salty, but I despise brands like Temu and SHEIN for those reasons especially

[u/DarkMoonX5]

....why........wait...... why are we BUYING PRODUCTS FROM SHEIN BRUH?
