I ordered my dream coat from Shein – I thought it was cute but people say I look like I’ve stepped out the shower
ORDERING clothes online is always going to be a bit of a risk.
From the sizing being wrong to the quality not being as good as you expect, there are a whole host of problems that can cause disappointment.
But one fashion fan encountered a whole different issue altogether when her order arrived…
TikTok user @khlom0ney shared a video where she can be seen trying on the £9.49 ‘patch pocket belted fuzzy coat’ which she purchased from online retailer, Shein.
In the clip, she explains: “Bought a fluffy coat from Shein and everyone keeps asking me if I just got out the shower.”
The brown long-sleeved coat features a large collar and long belt – very similar to the ones found on dressing gowns.

She captioned the post: “I thought it was cute and warm but people think it’s a bathrobe.”
Many social media users were so convinced the item in question wasn’t a coat, they accused the fashion enthusiast of not realising she’d ordered a dressing gown by mistake.
