Start a fashion dropshipping store
Short answer
In fashion, accessories beat clothing: jewelry, bags and caps have no sizes, so returns stay low. Clothing return rates often run 30 to 50%, which eats the margin fast. Start with 5 to 10 accessories in one style and test them with small budgets on Instagram and TikTok.

FAQ
Is clothing good for dropshipping?
Only with care. Because of sizing and fit, clothing returns often exceed 30%. Accessories without sizes are much easier to start with.
How long does shipping take?
From EU or US warehouses usually 2 to 5 business days, from Asia 7 to 15. Fashion buyers expect fast delivery, so local stock pays off.
What margin is realistic in fashion?
For accessories 50 to 65% on the net price, for clothing more like 35 to 50%. Current numbers per product are in the list above.
