Streetwear

What to know before you buy streetwear

Streetwear is what most people are looking for when they first start shopping Chinese marketplaces, and it is where the gap between price and quality is widest. A 400gsm loopback hoodie from a Guangzhou factory shop lands for a fraction of what a Western label charges for the same construction. The picks below are ranked by what the community actually keeps, measured by saves, repeat purchases and the quality scores left after parcels arrive.

Right now there are 400 live listings here. The median sits at ¥144, with ¥14 at the bottom and ¥630 at the top. The useful buying range is much narrower than those extremes suggest, and the ¥100-¥200 band holds more of the catalogue than any other. 0% of listings have been opened, ordered or link-checked by the Lantern team, and the community rates the category 0.00/5 overall, which we read as poor. The busiest branch is T-Shirts with 117 products at a ¥110 median.

How the grid above is ordered

Ranked by momentum by default. Community ratings come from people who received the item, not from the marketplace listing. Switch the sort to best rated when you want evidence depth rather than movement, to best evidence when you want photo coverage and link health, or to cheapest first when the budget is the constraint. Each of the 8 branches is its own page with a price distribution and the facets that matter for that branch.

What the Women, Men and Unisex control does

Chinese marketplaces put the audience in the listing title rather than in a field, so Lantern reads it from the title unless an editor has set it explicitly. Anything that names both, or names neither, counts as unisex and shows under both cuts, which is why the three counts do not add up to 400 products. Asking for unisex on its own is the one narrow reading: it returns only the pieces nothing has marked either way.
