For Y2K-inspired looks.
The world has been embracing the return of Y2K fashion for a while now, bringing back iconic trends from low-rise bottoms to bell-sleeve tops. For a little blast from the past, Cheetor has everything you need. Their Y2K pieces cover all the essentials, from tops to skirts and pants, making it easy to capture the nostalgic vibe with a modern twist.
Unfortunately, most of their tops are one-size-fits-most and their bottoms only fit up to a UK8, so they may not be the most plus-size-friendly store. Most items are priced between 39 CNY (~S$7) and 213 CNY (~S$40) and they also have a variety of belts at an affordable 19 CNY (~S$3) for you to fully embrace the Y2K vibe!
