Top 28 Online Shopping Sites You Probably Never Heard Of

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I believe that the best thing that has ever happened to fashion is the rise of online shopping.

Online shopping allows you to get hard-to-find clothes that would otherwise never be visible. It allows you to find statement pieces that will turn heads, often at prices that would make jaws drop. It even allows you to clear out your wardrobe and make some cash.

No matter what angle you look at, online retail has made a massive difference in how trends are made. The e-commerce world has launched a number of indie fashion brands to stardom, launched major trends, and even helped models gain fame.

Finding new online shopping sites is the easiest way to make your wardrobe look better than ever. That being said, finding them isn't always easy.

Looking for a new pair of shoes, or a new online store to love? This list of up-and-coming sites can help you get exactly what you are looking for.

Matches Fashion is one of those online shopping sites that's geared towards the kind of person who reads WhoWhatWear religiously. This site has a lot of fashion news involving runway-ready gear, and honestly, the stuff they sell is not far off.

The gear here features goodies for fashionable dresses, shoes, jeans, and even home accessories. If you're looking for a place to give a serious splurge, this might be a better go-to than your typical ASOS pitstop.

For individuals who really insist on getting the best, it's hard to beat La Garconne. This e-tailer has an absolutely massive collection of high-end designer clothing in just about every single niche imaginable. Their activewear, though, is really top notch.

Clean lines, minimalist designs, and hypermodern pieces are what make this a must-see for anyone who loves highly elegant gear with a serious emphasis on quality.

Yoox has long been my go-to for designer deals at the fraction of your typical retail price. To a point, it's actually kind of surprising that this remains one of the lesser-known online shopping sites for designer shoes and purses.

This site has some pretty near pop-up store ties, and once in a while, will feature some ultra high-end shoes for a fraction of their price. If you're looking for investment pieces, this place is a must.

Remember that one store that always seemed to be next to a Claire's Accessories? The Icing? Yep, they have an online store, too! Cheap accessories can be brought right to your door, all without a trip to the mall. 'Nuff said.

Ultra-feminine and super affordable Newchic is one of the better online shopping sites for fast fashion and affordable wardrobe staples. They offer a great blogger program, cute beachwear, and some pretty awesome outfits on sale.

You don't need to be a fashionista to love Newchic. Their housewares section would make anyone who wants to improve their apartment fall in love with the site.

Love boho bracelets that look festival ready, beach-appropriate, and yet at the same time, ideal for daily wear? You'll love Pura Vida Bracelets. This bracelet store offers up cute accessories that are stackable, multicolored, and just plain adorable.

That being said, this brand also offers up one of the most curve-friendly online shopping stores out there. If you're a plus-size lady, you need to check out their online storefront.

Another plus size store that you might want to check out is Loralette, and like other stores on this list, this is one of those unsung heroes of fashion. Beautiful designs, plenty of body positivity, and surprisingly affordable clothing is what makes this a must-see for any lady who is over a size 12.

With a name as old school as Dorothy Perkins, it's easy to expect a shopping site that would be devoted to granny gear. However, names are definitely misleading here. Dorothy Perkins is about as modern as it gets and so are the clothes.
