Fashion fan mortified after learning the hard way exactly why you shouldn’t work out in Shein leggings
A FASHION fan was left mortified after learning the hard way why she shouldn’t wear cheap Shein leggings to the gym.
Nordis took to her TikTok page to share a video of herself pumping iron in the gym, in a pair of pink leggings she’d picked up from the fast fashion site.
But as she squatted with a weight bar on her shoulders, her leggings burst open right on the bum.
Once she realised what had happened, she stood up as quickly as she could, before putting the bar back onto the stand.
She then turned to examine the damage in the mirror.
“Yet another reason why we need to stop buying cheap tights from Shein,” she wrote over the video.
Before adding in the caption: “Stop buying SHEIN!”
People quickly took to the comments section, with some insisting the leggings had ripped because they were too small.
But others claimed it was because the leggings had the viral scrunch detail on the bottom that they’d split open.
“All the people saying the right size didn’t pass the vibe check,” one wrote.
“I think it’s the scrunch thing. I’ve had some rip like that even when not squatting.”
“This have happened to my more expensive scrunch leggings as well,” another added.
“So I never squat in my scrunch leggings!”
“It’s just the scrunch !!” a third commented.
And others insisted Nordis shouldn’t rule out Shein entirely just because of the issue she’d experienced.
“Idk, the best leggings I ever owned come from Shein,” one wrote.
“Wearing some right now, they are 100% squat proof and the comfiest I ever had.”
“Nah I buy all my gym shorts from there and I love them,” another added.
As a third commented: “I don’t get people that say don’t buy shein.
“Shein is fast fashion for a reason, you can’t be expecting Gucci quality.”
“Did it actually rip a hole or just the scrunch seam?!” someone else asked.
To which Nordis replied: “Like 10 small holes all the way up the seam.”
