TIKTOK Shop is a very dangerous place for me - it's somewhere I find myself endlessly scrolling until silly o'clock in the morning numerous nights a week.
There's endless options of things you definitely (don't) need to buy - from cute phone cases and jewellery, to homeware and even handy cleaning gadgets.

But that's not all, as there's also clothes galore and if you're a shopaholic like me, it soon becomes incredibly hard to resist.
While many have previously shared concerns on the safety of TikTok Shop as a result of the remarkably cheap prices, I can safely say that thankfully, it's not too good to be true and I have never had an issue - and you don't even want to see how huge my order history is.
Around 2.8 million UK consumers made a purchase through TikTok's e-commerce feature back in 2023, the year of its official launch in the UK.
And not only is everything really affordable, but it arrives pretty quickly too.
While delivery tends to be much quicker than that of Shein and Temu, it's often somewhere I spent money on stuff that's further clogging up my drawers.
But with summer finally here and the weather heating up, rather than adding another new bag or a fifth necklace to my collection, I decided to order myself a weeks' worth of clothes.
I spent £74.38 on seven items, which works out at just £10.62 each.
Abby
Not only did I get my hands on a dress that's perfect for brunch with the girls, but I even nabbed a frock that's great for summer.
But that's not all, as I also got a pair of trousers that are super comfy and a T-shirt that looks so much more expensive than it actually was.
So if you fancy giving your wardrobe an upgrade but are on a budget and don't have loads of cash to splash, you'll need to take notes and listen to my honest reviews...
6 Essential Safety Tips for Online Shoppers
Loving leopard
With a brunch booked in the diary with the girls, I was desperate to find a dress that was not only flattering, but bloat friendly.

And thankfully, TikTok Shop answered my prayers with this Leopard Print Ruched Bodycon Dress, which cost me just £14.05.
Not only was I overjoyed with the price tag, but when it arrived, I was thrilled to know that it's perfect for bloated days.
Thanks to the ruched material and loud print, this frock is great at hiding my belly after guzzling numerous glasses of Prosecco and quickly scoffing a burger and fries.
To top it off, I got numerous compliments on this dress and for under £15, I think it's a real bargain.
Colour of the season
After Pantone labelled Mocha Mousse the trending color for 2025, I was eager to find a brown dress that would be great for warm days.

And while this Plain Deep V Neck Sleeveless Dress might not be the best quality, for just £11.04, beggars can't be choosers.
I'd seen numerous influencers rave about this dress, which is available in multiple colours, and now it's sure to be a staple in my wardrobe this summer.
For hot days when you need something to throw on and feel cool, this is a real winner
Abby Wilson
I'll admit it's made using quite a cheap material and it's also very short, so I can't say I'll be bending down in it any time soon.
But for hot days when you need something to throw on and feel cool, this is a real winner.
Colour coordinated
Shoppers are sure to have spotted co-ords in countless high street stores, so it's no surprise that TikTok Shop has also jumped on the trend.

For a chic co-ord, you'll need to check out TikTok Shop

I've spent ages searching for a co-ord that's not only smart, but affordable too, and luckily, I won't need to look any further.
For only £15.94, I nabbed this Tank Top and Wide Leg Shorts Two-Piece Set, which is super reasonable for the style of this look.

The top is slightly too big for me, so I may get it altered, but the tailored shorts are super cute.
This look is spot on for a day in the office (if shorts are acceptable in your workplace) when styled with pumps or slingbacks, or even for a boozy day in a pub garden with a pair of wedges.
Style in sync
And while the smart co-ord is a winner for me, this Contrast Binding Tank Top and Wide Leg Pants Set left me with mixed reviews.

These trousers left me with mixed reviews

It was only £10.57, so thankfully it didn't break the bank, but the trousers have left me scratching my head.
The top is super flattering and will be great when paired with shorts on a warm day, but the trousers make my bum look even flatter than it already is.
Yes, they're really comfy, so will be good for chilling around the house, but the on-trend contrast binding makes it look as though I'm wearing a nappy.
They'll be fine when paired with an oversized tee, but I'll definitely have to wear a shirt over the top of these trousers to wear them to work.
Stripe hype
I'm a huge fan of stripes and this Striped Print Side Split Hem Tank Dress didn't let me down.

But this dress had me beaming

It's super flattering and was only £7.30 which is a real steal.
Not only does it make my bum look bigger than it is, but it's versatile too.
I'll be wearing it to the office, to the shops and probably even for days to the beach.
Whilst it'll look great paired with trainers for a cool, casual look, it's also sure to impress with sandals too.
Get graphic
The early noughties were arguably the golden age of graphic tees, but it appears that this year, they are proving to be a real hit.

Graphic tees are super cheap on TikTok Shop

Celebrities and designers alike are capitalising on the trend, with bold T-shirts available not only in the likes of H&M and Primark, but also in Tesco and Sainsbury's too.
And this Lemon Print Round Neck Tee is a real winner - and that's not just because of its impressive £5.86 price tag.
Hottest fashion trends of 2025
Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street.
The East/West Bag
Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber.
In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder.
They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too.
Powder pink
Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025.
Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own.
If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour.
The shell jacket
The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025.
We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket.
Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'.
Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion!
The turn-up jeans
While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different.
This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups.
For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold.
Peep-toe shoe
Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event.
After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style.
From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street.
Sheer blouses
See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now.
Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season.
Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks.
I absolutely love the oversized fit and super (unbelievably) soft material, which came at a huge surprise considering how price-friendly it is.
The vibrant colours are sure to turn heads and it's quickly going down a huge treat, as I've already worn it twice in just one week.
Vest dressed
Thankfully, celebrities such as Cara Delevingne and Kate Middleton made sweater vests cool again and while they're typically worn in autumn months, this Button Sweater Vest is a new staple in my summer wardrobe.

It's perfect for days in the office and is great quality.
Not only is it versatile and perfect for layering on overcast days, but at just £9.62, it's great value for money.
Lots of brands and retailers do flash deals or sales that are exclusive to TikTok in the hope of attracting customers and going viral
Which? Spokesperson
I've already got plans to wear it on balmy nights in the garden with shorts or a denim skirt and my work colleagues can also expect to see it super soon.
And with very similar styles available from Reiss for £98, I'm pleased to have saved myself an impressive £88.38 with this TikTok buy.
So…why are products on TikTok Shop so cheap?
But if you're sitting there wondering why products on TikTok Shop come at a decent price, here's the deal.
The bargain prices are largely due to customers often being offered discount codes on purchases, which is particularly the case with new shoppers.
It has also been reported that TikTok charges a smaller commission rate than other sites which some sellers pass onto their customers.
TikTok also charges a lower commission rate than Amazon and eBay and some sellers pass this saving onto their customers
Which? Spokesperson
A spokesperson from Which? said: "This is partly because the social media app funds promotions to lure in customers and boost new sellers' sales.
"New customers are offered special deals, coupons and free delivery on their first order. It's also a marketing tactic: users often post videos about their amazing bargains.
"TikTok also charges a lower commission rate than Amazon and eBay and some sellers pass this saving onto their customers.
"Lots of brands and retailers do flash deals or sales that are exclusive to TikTok in the hope of attracting customers and going viral."
