Temu + Shein · Women's search kit

Buy the fabric, not the photo.

Product photos are interchangeable. Fibre content, fabric weight and construction terms are not — sellers who meet a spec put it in the title so search can find them. Tap any label to copy the search, or hit ↗ to run it straight in Temu or Shein.

No matches — try a shorter word like “cotton”, “lined” or “925”.

Reality check

A keyword gets honest products into your results. It doesn't guarantee the one you tapped is honest. Six habits that do most of the filtering:

Measure, never trust the letter

Ignore S/M/L entirely. Lay a garment you love flat, measure bust / waist / hip / length in cm, and compare against the listing's size chart. Asia-fit items commonly run 1–2 sizes small; the chart doesn't lie, the letter does.

Composition tab > title

Titles are marketing; the fabric composition field is closer to binding. If the title says linen but composition says 100% polyester, believe the composition — and skip it.

Sort by orders, read 1★ first

Sort by most orders, not lowest price. Then read the 1–2★ reviews before the 5★: "runs small", "sheer", "smells chemical", "nothing like photo" show up there first and fast.

Customer photos only

Gallery images are often stolen from other brands. Judge colour, drape and thickness from review photos taken in bad lighting on real bodies — that's what will arrive.

Know the price floors

Real materials have a minimum cost. 100% cashmere at $15, 19-momme silk at $4, or a chunky "925" chain at $2 is mislabeled. Small silver studs and freshwater pearls, though, genuinely can be cheap.

Keywords narrow, reviews verify

Every search here is a filter, not a certificate. Sellers stuff titles with specs they don't meet. Treat a matching title as a candidate, then run the four checks above before paying.

The decoder

The numbers in these searches are real units. Once you know three of them — GSM, momme, denier — you can judge thickness from a listing without touching the fabric.

GSM — knit fabric weight (g/m²)
GarmentFlimsyGood
T-shirts / tanks< 160180–220
Leggings< 200 (sheer)230–280
Sweatshirts / hoodies< 280320–420

Momme — silk weight · Denier — tights opacity

viscose / rayon — plant-based fibre that drapes and breathes like the photo suggests; the honest budget upgrade over polyester.
modal · tencel / lyocell — upgraded viscose family; softer, stronger when wet, resists pilling.
ponte — thick double-knit that holds structure; the difference between a bodycon dress and a nightgown.
cotton gusset — cotton panel in underwear and leggings; a hygiene spec worth searching explicitly.
top grain / full grain — actual quality grades of leather. Bare "genuine leather" is technically the lowest grade that still counts.
microfiber leather — the best synthetic leather; outperforms cheap PU by years. An honest keyword, not a fake-out.
fill power (550/700/800) — down fluffiness; with fill % ("90% duck down") it separates real down from "down cotton" polyfill.
s925 / 925 stamped — sterling silver hallmark; ask reviews for photos of the stamp. "Silver plated" and "silver color" are not silver.
titanium / surgical steel — honestly cheap metals that don't tarnish or turn skin green; the smart budget jewellery search.
remy (hair) — human hair with cuticles aligned one way; tangles far less than non-remy.
YKK / SBS zipper — brand-name hardware; the single spec that best predicts a bag or boot's lifespan.
double lined — two fabric layers; ends the sheer-top and underwear-outline problem at the search stage.
