I compared basically identical Zara & Shein looks to see which were best… people say there’s a standout that’s elite
A FASHIONISTA has left social media users stunned after comparing identical Zara and Shein garments – and there’s one they prefer.
We all love a good Zara haul – but what if you could achieve the same look without the hefty price tag?
Well, one fashion fan, TikTok user Adelaida M. (@adelaidamcg), accepted the challenge – and here’s how it went.
The style enthusiast took to TikTok to compare similar and almost identical outfits purchased from Zara and fast fashion rival, Shein.
First up in the now-viral video was the ultimate go-to for a boozy night-out – a pair of jeans and a white corset-style top without sleeves.
Apart from a slightly different wash, Shein’s outfit appeared almost identical to its more pricey twin.
Next, Adelaida jumped into a slinky black top with eye-catching cut-out detailing under the bust.
She decided to pair it with high-waist black denim bottoms, a black faux leather purse and stylish sunnies with a golden frame.
To top it off, the shopper had bagged a faux leather blazer and heeled sandals.
Seeing just how good both versions looked, social media users were shocked, concluding there was barely any visible difference between both options.
One fashionista noted: ”only the blazer is a no fr [for] shein. the rest are almost identical.”
Someone else agreed, adding: ”Zara only beats shein with their leather quality.

”Other than that, shein is elite.”
However, not everyone was impressed with some of the garments, with one critic insisting: ”SHEIN looks always cheap to me.”
”Quality is not the same!” a fourth exclaimed.
But if you’re thinking of heading to the retailer’s website for footwear, best keep on reading, as one shopper had a mortifying experience with her Shein heels.
Using low-quality materials and underpaid labour, Shein’s products are often know to lose their shape and colour, and nobody knows this better than Hannah Foley, 23.
The nightclub hostess, who also works at Ryanair, was on a night-out rocking a figure-hugging minidress and a pair of pink Shein heeled boots when suddenly both of them snapped off.
Left in hysterics, Hannah shared the hilarious incident on TikTok, where it’s gone viral.
At the start of the video, the 23-year-old could be seen posing in her outfit for the night… before things went horribly wrong.
After both heels had snapped off her knee-high boots, Hannah rushed to the toilet, revealing the tragic aftermath.
With the pointy toes now in an upwards angle, the stunner said she was left looking like an elf.
With more than 910k views in just one day, the clip has taken the social media platform by storm, leaving TikTok users in hysterics.
One person chuckled: ”What I’m the Rumplestilskin.”
Someone else joked: ”it’s giving Barbie Elf.”
”Paint em green and you have some Christmas elf shoes,” a person suggested.
To those who said this was their ”biggest fear”, one fashion lover recommended: ”Always carry those foldable ballerina flats. They fit even the smallest bags!”
