Online shopping- what is there not to love? No need to fight crowds, no need to get cute, and the deals are typically better with free shipping and what not! Yet, with so MANY websites and online stores out there, its hard to choose where to go, who you can trust, and who will have the stylish clothes, but leave money in your wallet to eat- fret no more! Here are 30 of my favorite websites (and stores) that have yet to let me down! Each offers a variety of selections, reasonable prices, style deals and sales, and are reputable websites!
1. Aldo- Although no apparel, this website is but still amazing for all my shoe lovers out there (ME!) Plus, handbags and accessories to match!Jewelry is a bit pricey to me, but still gorgeous, and the sale items are just as hot as the new arrivals! Plus, Aldo sales Men's shoes too, so get something for your dad, your brother, or your boo!
2. American Apparel- American Apparel is known for its recognizable patterns, classic styles with lots of colors, and spandex material! You need it, they have it! Once again, bit pricey, but definitely worth it. Whether shopping for women, men, or children, American Apparel has it!
3. Arden B.- Tons of patterns on this site! Not a huge selection of shoes or accessories, but a great amount of dresses of all different types, such as the LBD& LWD (Little Black/White Dress), Maxi& Midi, Bodycon for all occasions
4. BCBG- If you're into labels, then this is the store for you! Personally, I'm not particular about where my clothes come from(as long as its cute, clean, and affordable), but sometimes it is nice to say,"Oh, this old thing? Picked it up from BCBG!" LOL! This store is perfect for special occasion outfits, such as graduation, big parties, weddings, or anniversaries! I don't see this as everyday wear, but hey, if you got it-flaunt it!
5. BeBe- This is site is quite similar to BCBG! Can't have one on the list without the other. Great for special occasions, but I must say, I would use this website to decide on a particular style, but not to solely shop.Their styles can definitely be found on these other sites for a more affordable price!
6. CharlotteRusse- Great prices, HUGE selection, and a section for Trends! Charlotte Russe is great for preteens or for that last minute shopping for a night out or party!
7. Forever 21- Heaven in a website!!! This is my go to store, go to site, go to everything! Their trends are on point, their selection is always up-to-date, and their PRICES! Oh, the prices! The only negative to Forever21 is the thin material of some of the pieces and the cut, but you can make it work if you know your body and their size dimensions.
8. Go Jane- The best thing about Go Jane is their replica of name brand shoes! If you want the look without the price, then this is the site for you! Their styles are similar to F21, but a bit more sex appeal, like what you find at the next site!
9. Great Glam- One word-sexy! If you need a party or club outfit, then this is where you can find it! And shipping time is amazing! I ordered a dress on a Tuesday and it was there by that Friday!
10. H & M- Like American Apparel, you can get something for everyone in the family! Lots of simple silhouettes, soft materials, and a variety of styles! I consider it to be the F21 for older women.
11. KarmaLoop- LOTS of brands, LARGE selection, and links to more than just clothes!Kind of like an online magazine and store all in one! If you are in to brands such as Jeffrey Campbell, Diamond Supply, Crooks & Castles, Y.R.U., and plenty more- try this site! The styles are unique, which will be appreciated!
12. Love Culture- Their styles and prices are a mixture of F21 and Charlotte Russe,so you get the best of both worlds! They offer a lot of different patterns and color choices with the majority of their pieces. I would not use this store to shop if you are looking for a complete outfit, because their shoe collection is not large, but great for individual outfit pieces.
13. Love Melrose- You'll enjoy Love Melrose! Their style of clothing is like GoJane,but better prices! No huge shoe selection, but the ones they do have are hot!
14. Lulu's- Calling all girly-girls, this is your site! Feminine styles, soft materials,and live chat available! The prices are affordable and the shoes are GORGEOUS! Definitely the site to hit up if you are looking for a specific type of shoe! Plus they give you the option to sign up for email notifications for new arrivals or out-of-stock items!
15. MakeMe Chic- Quite similar to Go Jane in style and price, so if you are looking for the name brand look, without the price, then this is a great site! Prices are great and the styles are sassy, sweet, and sexy-just depends on what you are looking for!
16. Madewell- If you appreciate the simple things in life and consider yourself to be more laid back, you will appreciate Madewell. I love their sandal selection, which although are pricey for sandals, come in different styles and colors and made of a gorgeous leather. I think of this site as a less expensive Zara (coming later on the list), but still expensive for some pieces. Jeans are in the 3 digit price range!
17. Missguided- LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! A lot of their styles resemble more expensive brands, but the prices are pretty awesome! If you want to look like big bucks, without spending big bucks,this is the place! Yes, there are some pricey pieces, but nothing outrageous! They offer a ton of dress styles, shoe styles, and accessories.
18. MissSelfridge- I recently came across this site and I just love it! If you like to follow trends, then this is the site for you! You can find whatever you need by color, occasion,or style! Prices fluctuate, so some things seem overpriced, while others seem like a hot deal- so that could go either way with and shipping is not cheap! Their pieces have been featured in well-known magazines, so you know you are wearing only the hottest styles, but you will be paying for those styles!
19. NastyGal- "Nasty Gals Do It Better" is their saying, so if you that just spoke to you in some way, then this is your site! No judgement here LOL! Their style of clothing is similar to F21,but the prices are closer to that of BeBe or BCBG. Once again, if you got it, ball out! Another sight with great name brand shoes,such as Jeffrey Campbell and an awesome brand called Shoe Cult! Not a fan of cults, but definitely love their shoes!
20. Necessary Clothing- Vibrant colors, plenty of materials, and the prices are the bomb! They also offer name brand replicas, but non-name brand prices! I would put this on the top of my list when doing my online shopping, especially since they are current on trends!
21. PacSun- Love those Jenner girls, Kendall and Kylie? Well, shop their line on at this store! Even if you're not a fan, this store has plenty of other choices. Their signature styles are the girly, skater girl or the surfer, beach babe or the free spirit look. I LOVE their jean selection and the regular deals they have on them. The best thing about Pacsun is that their sale items are always as fly as the regular priced items and they cater to men as well!
22. River Island- Another site that has something for everyone in the family- men, women, boys, and girls! And yes, this is the "Rihanna by River Island River Island
23. Shiekshoes- This is another site offering only shoes, name brand shoes, but at a discounted price. I have seen reviews for this site that have said great things and others that have not been a fan! So, I will say to use discretion when shopping.Keep in mind, you are getting these name brands at a cheaper price, so that means possible sacrifices in quality. It made the list because the shoes are HOT , can not deny!
24. Tobi- We're getting to the bottom of this list,and honestly, this site is like a lot of the others before it. The styles are beautiful, feminine, and the prices are friendly. Just try it out, you've made it this far down the list anyway!
25. Topshop- Their pieces are similar to H&M, their prices fluctuate between American Apparel and F21, and their shoe collection has a great laid back vibe. I love their shoes and even thought they are not as price friendly as I would prefer, they are definitely worth it in some cases! Not too flashy in style or patterns. The site in itself makes me feel calm.
26. Urbanog- They always have a great deal going on(and so do the other sites), they offer a variety of colors in each of their major styles, and the prices are superb! I know, I'm getting extremely repetitive, but hey, it's the truth! But the bonus on this site is that they also offer costumes! Oh, yea,VARIETY!
27. UrbanOutfitters- I'll lead with this- its pricey and I only say that because I don't prefer to pay $40 for a simply graphic tee, but hey...remember the motto, "if you got it, ball out!" This is a site I would hit up for extremely specific pieces that I just can not find anywhere else. They also have clothes for men, but get this, they sale pieces for your home too! An entire section called 'Apartment' What?! I know! That's pretty cool in my book! And of course, the clothes and shoes are point (they gotta be for a $180 tank!).
28. Wetseal-Another great site for preteens and patterns! Very similar to Charlotte Russe; not my favorite, but I have found pieces that Ilove from here! Hit or miss type of store!
29. Zara- Anothersite for men, women, boys, and girls! No, Zara is not inexpensive, but their style is untouchable! The style is simple and chic! Definitely a more maturestore!
30. 2020ave- Last on the list! I only recently became hip to this site and I'm feeling it! Great clothes for all occasions, affordable prices, and a variety of styles!
I realize that the description of the websites was slightly repetitive, or maybe a bit more than slightly, but that just means that if one website does not have what you are looking for, another one WILL! Try 1, try 5, try them all! And please feel free to comment some of your favorite sites and stores that didn't make the list.
Sharing is caring; happy shopping!
Indulge in shopping!
