Purple Star emoji 34 items
Everything on here is cheap, but nothing on here looks cheap. Basics you'll wear on repeat, dresses that cover most occasions, pants that do the heavy lifting, and a few little things that just make an outfit. If you're building a wardrobe on a tight...

Tops

Tanks and camis, mostly. Not exciting, but these are the shirts you'll actually reach for every single week. Get them in black and white first, then get greedy.

Basic crop tank for like three dollars. Get it in black, get it in white, stop thinking about it. This is the shirt you'll reach for when you can't decide.
SHEIN Solid Cropped Tank Top
 
Zakiya Callender profile picture
Three tanks in one order. Cheaper per top and you're set for the week. If you're building a basics drawer from scratch, start here.
SHEIN EZwear 3pcs Solid Tank Top

Another crop tank because honestly you can't have too many. Layers under everything, works alone in the heat.

For when you wanna look a bit more stylish. Throw it on with jeans and suddenly it's a night out.

Wider straps means you can wear a normal bra with it. Small thing, huge difference.

Plus size and actually cute, not just "bigger version of a boring shirt."
SHEIN EZwear Plus Checked Print Tank Top

Dresses

Bodycon heavy, because it's what Shein does best for the money. One of these covers a birthday, a dinner, or a "I need to look nice in two hours" situation.

Plaid bodycon that does the whole "cute but a little edgy" thing without you having to try. Looks good with boots.
Tartan Bodycon Dress
 
Zakiya Callender profile picture
Same vibe, different cut. Grab whichever pattern you like better ,they're both cheap enough to just pick one.
Tartan Bodycon Dress (2nd Version)
 
Zakiya Callender profile picture
Floral bodycon. Brunch, birthday dinner, someone's baby shower and it covers a lot of events for the price of lunch.
Floral Print Bodycon Dress
 
Zakiya Callender profile picture
Knit dress for when it's actually cold. Cozy but still fitted, so you don't look like you gave up.
Solid Bodycon Sweater Dress
 
Zakiya Callender profile picture
The ruching hides more than you'd expect and the mesh makes it look pricier than it is. It is a night out dress and it looks amazing.
SHEIN Ruched Mesh Bodycon Dress
 
Zakiya Callender profile picture
Plain black slip dress. The most useful thing in anybody's closet and you can dress it up, dress it down, either way it always works.
SHEIN Solid Bodycon Cami Dress
 
Zakiya Callender profile picture
This is actually cut for shorter frames, so you're not hemming it yourself. If regular dresses are always fitting you weirdly then this dress should be the right fit and fix.
SHEIN PETITE Solid Bodycon Dress

Pants

All wide leg, and I'm not apologising for it. Comfiest thing you can wear that still looks like you tried. High waist ones first.

 
Zakiya Callender profile picture
These may be basic (for some people) but this is cheaper than anywhere on the high street.
Shein Women Pants
 
Zakiya Callender profile picture
High waist plus wide leg is the combo that makes you look put together with zero effort. If you only get one pair off this list, get these.
High Waist Wide Leg Pants

Plain colour, easy fit. Goes with every top you already own, which is the whole point.
SHEIN EZwear F Solid Wide Leg Pants
 
Zakiya Callender profile picture
Linen for the heat. Breathable and doesn't stick to you. This is a good one if you live somewhere hot.
Linen Wide Leg Pants

VCAY is their vacation line, so these are made for beach days and travel. Loose, light, easy to pack
Wide Leg Pants
 
Zakiya Callender profile picture
The pleats give them structure so they look dressier than regular pants. Good if you need something for work or church.
Wide Leg Pleated Pants
 
Zakiya Callender profile picture
Plaid pants that do all the talking. Pair with a plain tank and you're done thinking about the outfit.
Tartan Wide Leg Pants
 
Zakiya Callender profile picture
MOD is one of their better-made lines, so expect nicer fabric than the basic label. Worth the extra couple dollars.
MOD Plaid Print Wide Leg Pants
 
Zakiya Callender profile picture
Shorter cut, hits around the calf. Nice when full-length pants feel like too much but shorts feel like too little.
Wide Leg Culotte Pants
 
Zakiya Callender profile picture
Cut for shorter legs, so no dragging hems or trips to the tailor. If wide leg pants usually swallow you, start here.
Solid Wide Leg Pants

Another solid basic pair. Grab in a second colour once you know the fit works for you.

Jewelry & Acessories

This is where Shein really eats. Nobody can tell it cost three dollars in a photo, and you can grab five different looks for less than one real piece

 
Zakiya Callender profile picture
Beaded danglers that add a bit of colour without being loud. Good with a plain top when you can't be bothered to accessorise properly.
Beaded Drop Earrings
 
Zakiya Callender profile picture
A bit of sparkle for a couple dollars. Nobody's checking if they're real and in photos they are absolutely beautiful.
Rhinestone Decor Earrings
 
Zakiya Callender profile picture
A little different from the usual hoops. If you want people to actually ask where you got them, wear these.
1pair Snake Design Earrings
 
Zakiya Callender profile picture
Same idea, but a different take. Pick whichever shape you like more.
Snake Design Earrings (Alt Version)
 
Zakiya Callender profile picture
Lightweight so your ears don't hurt after two hours. If big earrings usually annoy you, acrylic is the answer.
Acrylic Drop Earrings
 
Zakiya Callender profile picture
Fun, slightly spooky, great around Halloween but honestly wearable year-round if that's your thing.
Skeleton Design Earrings US
 
Zakiya Callender profile picture
Odd shapes, artsy look. The kind of earring that makes a basic outfit look intentional
Irregular Plastic Earrings

Make Up

Small section, big payoff. Cheap makeup that's genuinely worth the money.

 
Zakiya Callender profile picture
Shiny, not sticky, smells like strawberry. This is the one that's all over TikTok and it's like four dollars.
Jelly Wow Hydrating Lip Oil Berry Involved

Two ends on one tube — one for length, one for volume. So you're not buying two mascaras. It's waterproof too, which matters if you cry easy or live somewhere hot.
SHEGLAM All In One Volume Length Mascara
 
Zakiya Callender profile picture
A drop of this is enough. Blends into your skin instead of sitting on top like powder does, so it looks like your actual face and not like makeup.
