Boohoo's core products include dresses and tops, with a selection of over 27,000 styles of clothing. Boohoo has been criticised for promoting fast-fashion which critics claim comes at a cost to those making the clothes and the environment. More than half of Boohoo's garments are produced in the UK, especially Leicester, London, and Manchester. Boohoo buys 75%–80% of the clothing produced in Leicester. This was made possible when other retailers such as ASOS reduced the amount they sourced from Leicester over concerns about working conditions.

In 2017, the Channel 4 television documentary series Dispatches found that factories in Leicester supplying Boohoo (along with New Look, River Island, and Missguided) were paying workers less than the national minimum wage. Boohoo stated that the work had been subcontracted without their knowledge. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Boohoo reported an increase in sales.In late June, workers' rights group Labour Behind the Label produced a report that stated factories supplying Boohoo were not following to social distancing and forcing employees to work even if sick, claims that Boohoo denied. This was followed by an investigative report by The Sunday Times which claimed to have found that workers producing clothes for BooHoo were paid £3.50 an hour, less than half the UK minimum wage for over 25s.
