Forever21

Well, I would tell you about my shopping experience but unless I become a cross dresser soon, I will never really be able to tell you about the clothes I buy/​wear from there. Now, they’re labeled «Women’s Clothing» but they did once upon a time have a Men’s section. Why they decided to get rid of it, I’m not sure, but H&M seems to do fairly well with their Men’s section so it can’t be solely from a lack of guys looking for clothes. Their store is very neat and clean and well organized, (which I’ll happily give them credit for) but the demographic they seem to solely cater toward now is 13 year old girls with Daddy’s credit card.
Plus, I’m all for good customer service but being constantly bombarded from several different employee’s about sales while trying to peacefully shop, is a bit of a nuisance. They act more as annoying pop-​up ads trying to shill me into buying products I have absolutely no interest in, rather than helpful associates who are actually interested in what I’m looking for. I used to like some of their Men’s selections but now that I have none to purchase, my main gripe is from a lack of what to buy from there rather than quality and price.

Ok, so I’m not a big «Forever 21» fan. I find their clothes trendy but poorly made, and they seem to cater to an under-​20 yrs old demographic. That said, this is probably the nicest Forever 21 store I’ve been to. It’s light and bright, thanks to a glass wall (the store is on the mall perimeter, so it benefits from a lot of natural light), well organized and more easily navigated than other F21 stores. My kid and I liked how the accessories were all neatly organized in a section by the store entrance into the mall. It’s not as large as the downtown Seattle store, or even the Bellevue Square Mall store, but it’s cleaner and less cluttered, and it had no clothes strewn about on the floors or draped over display racks, and none that I saw placed in incorrect areas.
As in their other stores, the prices of clothing here is super inexpensive. Granted, there’s no expectation that the clothes will last more than a year with regular wear and tear, but it’s still a good value if you want a trendy wardrobe and don’t want to sell the farm to get it, and you are aware you will have to replace items in a year or so, max.
I think if you’re a younger person (for sure 25 or younger) in the market for fashionable clothes that won’t break the bank, this would be a great place to go.

I love forever 21. Everything in there resembles what Blair W on Gossip Girl would wear. Only problem is that I am not Blair and nor do I have her body, therefore, everything looks better on the Manican than it does on me. I am not fan nor I am skinny. I have well porportioned curves in the right places. I fear that I am going to rip the blouse apart or the pants will rip at the butt seems. I did find a really nice blue sport blazer for work. I was disappointed that I couldn’t get a matching blouse to go with. The lady who was assesting me was super sweet, friendly and she was joking with me about my curves to make me feel better. The prices are hit and miss depending on the item of clothing. Not everything in their is meant to built to last, however, because they seem to be very current with the fashions you’re more likely not going to be wearing certain items next season.

Some of their clothes are cute, but if you’re not a preppy-​ish 13 year old girl you’re not likely to find much. The clothes are cheap, but they feel cheap too. Of the two items I’ve bought, they both started to fray and unravel extremely fast. I’m also on the tall side, but they have «small» sizes. I think they only recently introduced an XL to their inventory, but «Long”/“Short» is still a foreign concept.
I would suggest for tweens and teens… not for adults looking for actual clothes.

Not only do they sell the CHEAPEST clothing, but they have the worst return policies. I would rather donate the too large shorts than wait in that slow slow line for my 6.99 back.
