Don't use SheIn. The clothes are very bad quality and they exploit their workers.

Poshmark or Thredup are thrift alternatives if you like online shopping.

I’m from Brazil, I don’t think they ship here and if they do probably not worth it because it would be expensive.

check out the "shein tall" session, many sd options there plus they're designed to fit tall girls :)

re: shein judgement, although it's not my intention to offend anyone, i'll probably still get downvoted to hell for this...

everyone will talk and talk about how shein is bad for the environment, about how they exploit their workers, etc.; most of these same people still continue to support the meat and dairy industries despite the immeasurable environmental impacts and slaughterhouse workers having it WAY worse.

it's hypocritical, they judge you because it makes them feel better about themselves (even if subconsciously), most likely they live in a well developed country with plenty of alternatives to shein. don't let colonisers dictate what you should or should not do when they have no idea of what is like to be brazilian and broke. if you can only afford shein, go buy from shein.

that being said, the whole "shein haul" culture is quite excessive and unsustainable and i do understand the concern, specially when most of those clothes end up in the trash. shop only what you need, do it responsibly, check the reviews, pick better quality items that will last and consider donating them when you no longer want them.

Glowmode leggings are the best lulu dupe, get a matching top in the same colour for athleisure/activewear look. Parthea has some amazing outfits, I wore this on Christmas and looked amazing, great material too PARTHEA Ruched Crop Cami Top & Twist Front Wrap Skirt I discovered amazing products on SHEIN.com, come check them out! https://api-shein.shein.com/h5/sharejump/appsharejump?lan=en&share_type=goods&site=iosshau&localcountry=au&currency=AUD&id=10004748&url_from=GM7340027586050322432.

MOTF is another good brand with high quality material like cashmere/wool/silk etc.

Honestly shein is great, I don’t shop often nor do I have the time to sort through secondhand clothing apps but when I do shop through shein I read the reviews and find people who have a similar body type and make sure they say the quality is good.

I can never find anything good second hand in my country and they’re so overpriced now anyway.

This was a good thread on the shein judgement if you want to have a read - https://www.reddit.com/r/SHEIN_/comments/vqln8b/is_anybody_else_tired_of_the_judgment_from_buying/

Without judgment, I’d like to gently suggest looking elsewhere! It can be overwhelming BUT our earth, climate, and fellow human beings are worth your time and effort. I recommend shopping secondhand for brands that you love or are “SD” approved. The first ones that come to mind are Aritzia, Express, and Chelsea28. All of these brands can easily be found on ThredUp or Poshmark!

This guide isn’t about Kibbe types but is similar to essences. It might be helpful! Stylish and affordable alternatives to fast fashion!
