Singles’ Day 2020: A guide to the best fashion deals, and all the trendy finds we’re adding to cart

November 11 is fast approaching, and you know what that means—it’s time to gear up for Singles’ Day sales. Kick-started by Alibaba back in 2009, the date has now become the biggest online shopping event of the year. Want proof? The Chinese online retailer recorded more than US $38.4 billion (RM159.8 billion) in sales last year—all in just 24 hours. Insane, but that has led to more and more retailers hopping on the bandwagon, be it fashion, beauty, or lifestyle e-stores.

If you’re unsure of what to expect or where to start shopping, we’ve got your back. From the specific deals each online site has started offering, down to the best fashion finds you should add to cart, here’s how you can start shopping to your heart’s content.
