You&#8217;ll be notified of all payments made on your YouTrip card, with <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.you.co\/sg\/blog\/youtrip-3ds\/\" target=\"_blank\">3D-Secure Authorisation<\/a> automatically implemented on your transactions.

Keep in mind that not all items in each category are consistent in size so be sure to check the measurements for every piece you\u2019re planning to put into your cart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Review the reviews<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Always look at their reviews. This was probably the most common piece of advice across the board. This would help you squelch worries about quality, iffy materials, sizing and colour in real life. Brownie points for reviews that have actual photos of the item being worn out and about.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.

You\u2019re paying S$4.40 for that top \u2014 it\u2019s probably not going to last very long or withstand many washes. Thus, many recommend shopping for trendy items on SHEIN and getting your wardrobe staples elsewhere. This means steering clear of jewellery and bags, because they tend to fall apart easily, and going for items where bad fit would not be an issue i.e. loose blouses, skirts, dresses, cardigans and chunky sweaters.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"overview\"><strong>\u2694\ufe0f SHEIN Singapore vs Taobao Singapore: AT A GLANCE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, you\u2019re probably thinking that SHEIN sounds like another really famous e-commerce giant from China \u2014 and you\u2019re right, it\u2019s Taobao!
