Style Guide

11 Brands Like Cherry Kitten for Loud, Affordable Y2K Style

Spencer Lanoue·9 min readUpdated August 15, 2026

The cart fills up in about four minutes. Baby tee with a joke on it, a mini skirt, a jersey shirt with something rude across the chest, and the total still hasn't cleared forty dollars. Then you go looking for the next shop that does the same thing and everything you find is either twice the price or a completely different mood.

Cherry Kitten (the store styles itself Cherrykitten) sells loud printed womenswear starting at $6.90 for a pack of face gems and topping out around $39.90 for a knitted bunny-ear hat, with most of the clothing landing between $20 and $29. Its Halloween Black Angels Y2K Sport Jersey Shirt ($28.90) is the shape of the whole catalogue: Y2K graphics, cropped cuts, a price that doesn't make you think twice.

Below are 11 brands like Cherry Kitten selling that same kind of clothing, checked against their own storefronts in August 2026. Seven of them price in pounds and four in dollars, so each entry says which. And none of the lingerie labels that used to sit on this list survived the check, because Cherry Kitten sells clothes you wear out of the house.

Quick comparison: Closest on price and attitude, Blackcraft Cult ($35 tees) and Hot Topic ($23.90 tees). Cheapest way in, Edikted (from $4.50) and Motel Rocks (from £10). Biggest wardrobe behind the graphics, Killstar and Dolls Kill. Specialists worth the extra spend, The Ragged Priest and Jaded London for denim, Minga London for rhinestones, Lazy Oaf for cartoon colour, Disturbia for knitwear.

Dolls Kill

Dolls Kill

Dolls Kill is the closest thing to a Cherry Kitten upgrade, selling alt party clothes from $29 to $149 across tops, bottoms, dresses and outerwear. It calls itself an "Online Boutique for the Misfits & Miss Legits", and the catalogue reads that way, with rave, goth and Y2K sitting on the same page.

The overlap with Cherry Kitten is the graphic, going-out end. The difference is scale and season: on the day we checked, 126 of the first 250 products were costumes, so the site swings hard into Halloween and festival territory in a way Cherry Kitten's everyday tees don't.

The Harper Lace Trim Cami ($29) is the cheapest way in, and the Lizzie Button Front Denim Mini Skirt ($59) covers the mini-skirt slot Cherry Kitten fills at half that.

Best for: one loud outfit you'll photograph, rather than a week of tees.

Hot Topic

Hot Topic prices its graphic tees at $23.90, which puts it within a dollar of Cherry Kitten's own jersey shirts. The My Chemical Romance Black Parade T-Shirt ($23.90) sits at the same price as the Nintendo and Jurassic World tees we checked, so the number holds across licences.

What you get here that Cherry Kitten doesn't sell is licensed art. Marvel, DC, Disney, anime and music franchises run into the hundreds, alongside house labels including Social Collision and Her Universe.

The trade-off is that the joke on the shirt belongs to someone else. Cherry Kitten writes its own slogans. Hot Topic prints a band you already love, which is a different kind of shopping.

Best for: filling a drawer with $23.90 tees instead of buying one statement piece.

Killstar

Killstar sells goth clothing from £11 to £135 on its own site, and it's the pick on this list with the deepest wardrobe behind the graphics. Tops, trousers, midi dresses, maxi dresses and coats all sit in the same catalogue, with 231 of the first 250 products in stock when we looked.

The Nocturne Eye Top (£30) and the Twilight Waltz Midi Dress (£50) show where the money goes, and the Eternal Coffin Coat (£135) is the ceiling.

Killstar reads darker than Cherry Kitten. There's no Y2K pink or slogan humour here, so treat it as the black half of the wardrobe rather than a straight swap. Prices are in pounds even with a US address selected, so budget for the conversion your bank applies.

Best for: building out the goth end without paying designer prices.

Disturbia

Disturbia runs from £8 to £98, which is the widest cheap-to-mid spread on this list. Jewellery starts at £8, printed tops land around £32, and the coats cap the range at £98.

The knitwear is what separates it. The Tantra Skull Embroidered Cardigan (£48) puts the graphic into the knit rather than printing it on jersey, which is a texture Cherry Kitten doesn't stock. For something closer to home, the Beneath The Thistles Slouchy Top (£32) is a printed tee by another name.

Its catalogue leans dresses, 85 of the first 250, so the balance sits further towards going-out than Cherry Kitten's tee-and-skirt rhythm. Prices show in pounds.

Best for: the £8 to £15 jewellery, which is hard to beat.

Blackcraft Cult

Blackcraft Cult sells slogan-first clothing from $25 to $80, and its tees hold a flat $35. The Midnight Goat T-Shirt ($35) and the Satan Is My Daddy Snapback Hat ($35) sit at the same number, so you can plan a basket without checking each page.

This is the tightest match on the list for Cherry Kitten's actual proposition: a printed statement on a black cotton body, priced so the joke doesn't have to last. Of the first 167 products, 166 were in stock, so the size you want tends to be there.

The range is narrower, though. Hoodies top out at $70 with the Witch House Zip-Up Hoodie, and you won't find skirts or dresses.

Best for: $35 tees with an occult slogan, in US dollars.

Edikted

Edikted charges between $4.50 and $76, and that range is what the store takes at checkout. Worth knowing before you shop: every one of the 997 available variants we sampled carried a struck-through price at exactly double the selling price, so the "50% off" badge is the permanent state of the catalogue rather than an event.

Read past that and the clothes are a close cousin to Cherry Kitten's. The Roonie Shredded Tank Top ($25) and the Rhinestone Graphic Low Rise Baggy Jeans ($60) are the same Y2K vocabulary, cut for going out.

Tops dominate the catalogue, so it's stronger on the upper half of an outfit than on skirts. We go deeper on the brand in our guide to brands like Edikted.

Best for: low-rise denim and cut-out tops under $60.

Motel Rocks

Motel Rocks prices from £10 to £72, and the £10 to £38 band is where it competes hardest with Cherry Kitten. Earrings start at £10, basic tops sit around £35, and the Cutie Halterneck Top in Plisse Brown (£38) is the kind of piece Cherry Kitten would print a slogan across instead.

Its strength is stock depth. Of the first 250 products, 236 had something available, which is unusually healthy for a fast-moving trend label.

The catalogue is plainer than Cherry Kitten's. Fewer graphics, more texture and colour, with the Low Rise Parallel Jeans in Heritage Indigo (£70) as the biggest single spend. Motel Rocks does serve US dollars to a US address, so the pound figures here are its UK site.

Best for: the halter tops and mini skirts you build a night around.

Jaded London

Jaded London starts at £32 and runs to £95, and the money sits in denim. The 2K13 Moto Panelled Colossus Jeans (£90) are the shape the brand is known for, oversized and panelled, and there's nothing like them in Cherry Kitten's range.

At the cheap end, the Purple Mist V Neck Top (£32) is the entry point, which is roughly where Cherry Kitten's ceiling is. That's the honest gap: this is a step up in price, not a sideways move.

Stock was thinner than the rest of the list on the day we checked, with 102 of the first 250 products showing anything available, so sizes go. Like Motel Rocks, it prices in dollars for US shoppers.

Best for: baggy jeans and jorts, once you've got the tees sorted.

Minga London

Minga London covers £21 to £120 and does the rhinestone-graphic thing better than anyone else here. The Elysium Sigil Rhinestone Graphic T-Shirt (£56) is exactly the crystal-and-print combination Cherry Kitten sells, just built heavier.

Baby tees, tank tops, jorts and zip-up hoodies fill out the catalogue, which maps almost item-for-item onto Cherry Kitten's categories. Accessories start at £21 for thigh highs, so there's a cheap way to test it.

Where it parts company is the price of a graphic tee: £56 against Cherry Kitten's $20 to $29. You're paying for a chunkier body and denser stones, and you should decide whether that matters to you before you fill a basket. The Dash Distressed Flared Jeans (£120) mark the top of the range.

Best for: one rhinestone tee you'll wear for years.

The Ragged Priest

The Ragged Priest sells from £35 to £95, and its baby tees are the direct Cherry Kitten equivalent. The Worship Skull Graphic Baby T-Shirt (£35) is a cropped graphic tee at the bottom of the range, and it sets the floor for the whole catalogue.

Denim is the reason to come here. The Shrapnel Dirty Wash Studded Baggy Jeans (£95) carry hardware down the leg, and the jorts run £65.

Of the 176 products on its first page, 155 had stock. The catalogue is smaller than the others on this list, so it works better as a place you check for one piece than as a full basket.

Best for: studded denim you can't find on the high street.

Lazy Oaf

Lazy Oaf runs £14 to £150 and takes the print in a brighter, funnier direction than the goth end of this list. Socks start at £14, and the Oaf DIY T-Shirt (£45) is the cheapest way into the graphics.

Cartoon drawings, gingham, clashing colour and collaborations run through the catalogue, which is closer to Cherry Kitten's playful side than to its sexier one. The Girls Day Out Skirt (£70) shows how the house style handles a mini.

It's the most expensive per printed tee of anything here, and the pieces are cut looser and longer, so the silhouette is different too. That's the trade: you're buying an illustration, not a slogan.

Best for: colour and cartoons when black graphics start feeling samey.

Where to Start Depending on What You Buy Most

If Cherry Kitten's tees are what you refill, go to Blackcraft Cult at $35 or Hot Topic at $23.90 and skip the pound-priced labels, because a £56 Minga London tee is a different purchase entirely. If it's the minis and going-out tops, Motel Rocks between £10 and £38 and Edikted between $4.50 and $76 get you closest for the money.

Denim is the one thing Cherry Kitten doesn't do, and it's where the British labels earn their prices. Jaded London and The Ragged Priest both top out around £90 to £95 for jeans with real detailing on them.

For more in this direction, we've written up brands like Punkandyo for streetwear, brands like Shein for the cheapest end of trend-led clothing, and brands like Princess Polly if you want the going-out half without the graphics.
