Nasty Gal offers incredible deals (they’re 50% off as of writing) and huge discounts for students. They also have a $5.99 shipping promotion and a pretty lenient 28-day return policy.
Showpo

$14.95 same-day or next-day shipping
Afterpay: Yes
You can get literally everything from jumpsuits to even wedding dresses on Showpo! In addition to having a ridiculous range of styles for you to choose from, Showpo is a proudly Australian-based brand whose main goal is to provide affordable and trendy outfits to women.
Even better, Showpo is one of the few brands that allow you to exchange an item just because you weren’t feeling it. They also have same-day and next-day shipping for super cheap, putting the FAST in fast fashion.
Boohoo
Shipping:
$6.99 standard shipping (up to 7 business days)
$14.99 express shipping (up to 5 business days)
Afterpay: Yes
At this point, Boohoo is an online shopping staple. Constant sales and an ever-changing wardrobe selection make this boutique one of Pretty Little Thing’s biggest competitors. They even have collections that are dedicated entirely to both petite and plus size women, which makes shopping for different body types even easier.
Even with their low, low prices, Boohoo still finds ways to make them even lower. They offer student discounts and crazy promotions that slash up to 50 or even 70%. You can also return Boohoo items for a refund within 30 days, for any reason at all.
Missguided
Shipping:
$6 standard delivery (4-7 working days)
$11 express delivery (2-4 working days)
Afterpay: No
Missguided is perfect for women with sassier, edgier, and darker styles! This brand is unapologetically bold and fierce, and you’ll find awesome styles in every size. Although they target ladies who want to stand out, they also have more “toned-down” pieces for those who want to blend in.
Missguided doesn’t have Afterpay, but it does have a similar “pay later” option via Klarna. And like the other stores on this list, they also have huge sales that see 50% (or more) getting slashed off on the regular.
Conclusion
Pretty Little Thing is a great online shop, and it will always have a special place in our hearts. But if PLT just isn’t cutting it for you anymore (or you just want a wider selection), then check out the shops on this list – we promise you won’t be disappointed.
