New day, new post! With summer ending and fall soon beginning, many anime fans are looking forward to Halloween. Halloween is loved by many anime fans because it lets them dress up as their favorite characters. It's easier than ever to find cosplay clothes, which further encourages anime fans. However, two of the most well-known websites are also some of the most criticized; this being Temu and AliExpress. Temu and AliExpress have much cheaper clothes and accessories, and they even have cosplay items on there. But despite them being cheaper and more popular, a lot of people don't like them, or don't trust them. Personally, I think it's fine to get things from them as long as you check the item reviews first. There are a lot of fake cosplay websites out there, and at least with these websites you know what you're getting. There's also nothing wrong with getting the cheaper option if that's all you can afford. A lot of people act like if you're going to cosplay, then you need to buy the most expensive and authentic outfits out there. But, life just doesn't work that way. Hardly anyone has the budget to drop hundreds of dollars on outfits, and it's perfectly fine to get the cheaper ones if you're having fun. Cosplay is all about fun and community, so you shouldn't have to worry about the price of things. As long as it looks good, that's what matters. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. I do recommend checking the item reviews if you order from these websites, but Temu and AliExpress have been getting better with their customer service. As always, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!
