Urban Outfitters

Friendly staff, usually helpful — this is one of the better UO locations. There are always interesting things to browse through and I can easily spend an hour in here. A lot of novelty items and fun brands.
Beware of the changing rooms; they are almost already very dirty and grimy. I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes to try something on or check-​out (I hear this is a one off)
I usually try to pop by if I’m in the area.

Came in to look around on the men’s floor, interested in their Zanerobe selection. A young, red haired teen employee was busy reading one of the books they had for sale there. I asked him where that brand was kept as the floor is a bit scattered with everything, he didn’t know, said he’d find out, walked away, after 15 minutes I left, he didn’t come back. Awful customer service, would rather shop at Get Fresh or H&M if that’s how they treat ‘valued’ customers.

I always love to wander in here and see what’s the latest fashion, but sometimes i feel like the mom of someone who would shop here.lol. I think I can pull it off… but mostly it’s in my head
While I love to look, I rarely buy anything b/​c I find for their prices it’s just not worth it unless it’s on sale.
I find it difficult to tell who works here and who is just a shopper so if you’re looking for assistance it could take awhile, although when you do all the staff here are pretty friendly.
They have a great selection of sunglasses which are actually reasonably priced, along with some unique jewelry, accessories which would make great gifts.
They have a mens section but I’ve yet to venture to that side of the store

Ah. Urban Outfitters, nothing more than an expensive novelty store targeting the hipster demographic and admirers of poorly made clothes and «in your face» graphic t-​shirts. Located in the heart of downtown, it’s the perfect place to shop for a Cookie Monster using a crack pipe graphic tee at a fair price of $ 25

Being here a lot of times still one of my fav stores! The whole store vibe is amazing friendly staff and fast service

Definitely HIT and MISS… I generally go during the SALES, otherwise I find most regular price EXPENSIVE. Happy the city has a few URBAN OUTFITTERS, it’s a great company, with good selection. Staff is usually pretty helpful at this location, plus a nice layout.

Best return/​exchange policy ever!
Their regular sale item has similar return policy as regular price item. You can do one time adjustment within 7 days.
I returned a dress bought in US without receipt, it allowed me to return as a store credit in toronto with current canadian price.
its really awsome!!!

It seems as of late that Urban’s clothing inspiration has been from senior citizens who have migrated to Miami, and that mildly insane cat-​sweater wearing character Bea from Grandmas Boy.
If dressing like a senior citizen is your style, no shame on that, but you could find everything in this store at Value Village (yes, even the over picked ones) for 75% cheaper, or just raid your grandparents closet.
Somehow my mother always gets mysterious deals when shopping here. The $ 30.00 10×12 carpet is unmarked and magically on sale for $ 1.99 with another 50% off.
If you insist on shopping here, maybe change your shopping partner to your mother to discover hidden deals.

Love UO but still very expensive, got a good selection of Levi’s 511 and 510 for about $ 80, I can get the same pair of jeans for half that in the States! Graphic tees are nice recently bought the Kelly Kapowski tee $ 25, its good quality and has a nice fit, there’s some graphics that were decent but not for $ 25, good selection but overall very expensive

This store is really a hit or miss for me. Everytime I am in this store only a handful of staff have been attentive or even recognized I was in the store. The rest of them walk around with snotty looks on their faces. Maybe its just because its the location and the hustle and bustle of the location, but as a member of staff at a bar I understand how you can feel tired and just want people out of the establishment but at the same time– its a job. Everything is clearly overpriced and can be found for much cheaper (and sometimes better quality) online or at another store. The only times I ever buy anything from any Urban is if its on sale (in which case I love it). Overall its all about customer service and selling the product.

I only buy their stuff if it’s on sale. Paying $ 30 for a cotton Tee just is not my style. Although I have bought denim shorts from here and they’re great quality and a really flattering fit.
I find it’s hard to not be taken in by how cool the store is. Whenever I’m in here, I find myself trying on the most ridiculous pieces and deluding myself into thinking that I can pull them off. And then I realize that when coupled with the rest of my wardrobe, I will look like a hobo.
Maybe because I’m fairly conservative with my style and just not-​so-​cool, but I don’t think I could walk down the street with most of the clothes. And I feel like if you want to look broke and cool, shop at a consignment store, don’t just pretend like you do.

Nice fashions. But high end prices for bummy /​casual /​bohemian clothing, doesn’t work — and every time I go there, the prices catch me off guard. Prices aren’t changing, and they’ve been around for several years now.
I guess I can accept Anthropologie more, since they’re purportedly marketing themselves to women who earn an annual income of $ 150-​$ 200 K (google «anthropologie marketing strategy» for more); their quality also tends to be higher. Their style is similar to that of Urban Outfitters, of which the latter seems more geared to affluent and trendy 20-​low 30 somethings.
Have I ever bought anything there? Um, yes. In my ten+ years of being in the City, I’ve bought 1 – 3 or 4 items in total there.
I’m willing to pay more $$ if it’s for a classic piece that I can use for a while. Otherwise, I’ll tend to go elsewhere for classic pieces, and for cheaper bummy (to bum around the home) or bohemian items.

Okay, here’s the deal with Urban Outfitters. Buying their stuff at full price is a massive rip off and the clothes definitely aren’t worth it. FYI — they probably have something equally trendy/​stylish at forever 21/h&m across the street at half the price.
But still, I give Urban 4 stars. I can’t help it. It’s pretty fun to shop in and has some seriously good lookin’ stuff.
The best part about Urban Outfitters? The sales! Everything goes on sale. Then the dress you loved is under 30 bucks (down from 79) and is a total steal. Warning: generally the quality of the clothes from here is NOT great. But the stuff is really cute and scouring the sale racks can be pretty fun and rewarding.
I also love the apartment stuff. Got a great lamp (on sale) for 20 bucks. I’ve got my eye on a quilt from their home section at the moment — let’s hope for a good sale! They also have some cute/​funny stuff priced from 10 – 20 bucks, good for unique bday or xmas gifts!

I hate to admit, but Urban Outfitters is probably my favorite chain store to shop at. I’ve only been to this store twice and both times on Boxing Day. With that in mind, I must say that this place is a hectic zoo, but you can get some really really good deals if you want to get there early and search through the sale racks (the sale is usually 50% all sale items).
My sister, a more careful shopper than I, has gone out of the store with a blazer, shirt, dress, and two pairs of BDG pants for under $ 40.

Urban Outfitters is a fun store to peruse to get ideas but with the exception of some sale items, most everything here (or at least the men’s clothing and furniture) is over priced. Add in lines at the cash and trying to get a fitting room can eat up too much of your valuable Saturday, Urban Outfitters does just about everything possible to make your shopping experience unpleasant.

Anyone who really knows me understands my love and hate relationship with Urban Outfitters. Like Kat F., I love the website, but personally, I recoil with the thought of perusing the store for my item (s) of interest. Looking around when I’m not in search of anything is a hoot, however.
While a significant portion of my wardrobe comes from UO, not everything is made alike, many of their items are of dubious quality, and generally, yes, most items do go on sale. They’re not nearly as overpriced as Anthropologie, their sister store, though almost everything at UO is made of similar quality.
Some of their private lines are made much better than others, like Tula, Silence & Noise and Lyell. The lines I tend to stay away from because of history and bad experience are Kimchi and Lux.
It’s really fun to go looking at all parts of the store, even their guys section, since you have no idea what you’ll find; borderline racist t-​shirt slogans, hideously ‘ironic’ sweater stripes on pants, you name it.
This location is far more touristy than their store on Queen St, but this location seems to have a far greater selection and better hours.
These days I prefer to buy online because of their $ 10 flat rate shipping price on everything under $ 150. Plus, it gives me more time to spend sipping mocha in my couch.

I have a terrible addiction to this store. I probably drop at least $ 350 a week on clothing, nick nacks and crap for my apartment in here. And I mostly buy sale stuff.
Actually I dont reccomend buying the non sale stuff as most of it ends up on the sale rack in a month anyway. As someone who goes to UO at least 3x a week I am certain of this. That being said their stuff is amazing. You can get vinyl here for $ 4.99-$ 9.99 new on sale. You really need the patience for it but if you are a die hard like I am you can get really great stuff by going here often. This specific location is by far my favorite because their selection is far greater than the queen street store.
Yeah so hipsters shop here and work here, no biggie. I’d rather look at them than gina (insert garden tool name here) bags from Urban Behaviour.
Also amazing are the books. Basically do yourself a favor and spend 2 hours going through everything in the sale section and then tell me you cant afford their stuff. Trust me… you can if you have the patience.

Despite the naysaying of Urban Outfitters in general, I am a huge fan and use the store’s website to get outfit ideas and make a general shopping list for myself. I browse things on the site, make a note in my phone or in a list of some sort (go figure, I love lists — who knew??) and then head to the store to track down the items I want. I just can’t be bothered with the conventional method of picking through too many racks — I get bored fairly quickly and the organization of this location leaves something to be desired at most times (ie stuff on bottom shelves that’s not displayed anywhere else in the store, shirts in cubbyholes or forgotten hooks and piles, etc). So it’s just easier to describe/​point and ask.
Yes, most things are overpriced but you don’t have to buy EVERYTHING in your wardrobe at UO. I tend to buy unique pieces and jewellery only, and stick to cheaper stores for classic staples or fleeting trends. Some of the jewellery and accessories they have are stunning — really unique pieces
that you won’t find anywhere else and they’re usually nicely showcased on mannequins throughout the store.
The only downside to this location is that there are never enough cashes open and the lines are pretty long so I would recommend dragging someone (a work husband or otherwise platonic male friend will do) to the store with you and tasking them with waiting in line while you browse and gather all of your stuff. By the time you’re ready to pay they MIGHT have neared the front of the line.

Urban Outfitters seems to be one of those place that people pretend to hate but then magically those same people are seen wearing their clothes. How does this happen?
As for me, I think they’re clothes are crazy expensive, no matter how skinny the designers pants were that «created» them… but I DO like the clothes. I just don’t buy them because moths are not accepted currency in our country.
I do however most enjoy their selection of unorthodox books. Like a book called Penis Pokey where you can put your penis in a hole in the book and hilarity will ensue.
Yes.
I am a child.

Urban has grown from a cool kids clothing store, to a cool kids everything store. They still sell lots of clothing, (some of which I’m down with, and others that make me feel old and no longer with it) and they do a good job on constantly updating their styles. The prices on the clothing ranges from average to a bit pricey (not including sales) but I find that the quality here is very reliable.
In addition to clothing and accessories, they also sell books, novelty toys, shoes and they even have a sizable houseware department. The staff here is excellent. Everyone I’ve ever interacted with is friendly and helpful.
