Summer is almost here and with this season comes our constant desire to renew our wardrobe and purchase the lightest Shein dresses, maxi dresses and the latest trends.
The rise of Shein as a fast fashion Empire
Shein has turned fast fashion into real-time retail.

Zara started revolutionizing the retail industry in the early 2000s by delivering trendy clothing from design to store in a matter of weeks. Shein improved that model and was able to do that in a matter of days. Shein’s unique model combines a super-fast supply chain with extremely quick and intelligent market research and customer acquisition based mostly on social media.
Shein’s popularity
TikTok Popularity
Shein has a huge social media presence and targets mostly Gen-Z shoppers on TikTok where they spend a lot of their time Simply compare “haul” videos — where young fashionistas show off their latest purchases — the hashtag #sheinhaul dominates all retail competitors, with twice as many views as the hashtag #zarahaul.
Knowledge is power
Social media and website analytics are also where the company finds its design ideas. Shein leverages big data from Google, competitors and its own web site, thus grasping quickly what consumers want in real time — and providing it within a few days only.
Unbeatable prices
But the biggest reason Shein is so appealing to Gen Z consumers? The price of course! Although young consumers care about the environment, their shopping habits are impacted mostly by low prices.

Popular Shein dresses
Ditsy Floral Tie Front Ruffle Hem Milkmaid Dress
This is a flattering dress for most body shapes! Make sure you are tall enough to wear this dress because it is a bit long. If you want a more fitted look, we would recommend sizing down one size.
Ditsy Floral Lettuce Frill Ruffle Hem Split Dress
This dress has a lightweight material making it a perfect fit for summer weather and humidity; The dress has a lining that goes to the mid-thigh area, so it’s not too see-through. The dress fits true to size and there are adjustable ties on either side of the waist which help give the dress good shape. (The ties on the sides are right under the bust and are functional)
Ditsy Floral Print Backless Frill Trim A-line Dress
This dress can be dressed up or down for any occasion. The style shows your waist and the cut out back is sexy. Material not see-through. (the material is actually really good for Shein – the skirt is double lined – and the dress as a whole is really very flattering.)
Shein’s homepage
It is always very useful to take a look at Shein’s homepage. Sometimes, we are busy directly looking for something and we forget to check out the home page to find interesting things: new items in the catalog, clothes suggestions based on our searches or previous purchases, the latest promotions, and last but not least the latest trends in fashion.
Some other things to keep in mind and a note about SHEIN:
Shipping times can be long, so if you have a trip booked or a special event in mind, be sure to order at least 2-3 weeks in advance. But, you can return your items – not swimwear – for up to 45 days after purchase. That is reasonable return policy and if you have any other issues, reach out to customer care.
