Shein

Cheap clothing app

Shein is a Chinese fast-fashion retailer known for extremely low prices and a vast, rapidly rotating inventory of trendy clothing sold online.

The company has drawn criticism for environmental impact, labor practices, and intellectual property concerns: I got this whole outfit on Shein for twenty dollars.

The name is typically pronounced "she-in."
