Jasmine Sola

Going out of business may be the best thing this store has going for it. I have bought a few items here over the years, but they were always on sale because their regular prices are RIDICULOUS! Case in point – I found a fun cocktail ring in there today and it was marked $ 98. For plastic costume jewelry??? Give me a break.
Their selection is typical: Free People, Seven and True Religion jeans, Sweet Pea and (gag) Juicy Couture. Honestly, you can find a better selection and more original choices at much cuter boutiques in the area.
Right now everything is 40−60% off due to their closing, so if high prices kept you at bay, now is the time to check it out.

I think they screen out friendly people when hiring at Jasmine Sola.
I generally go in here only during sale time on my way home from work, so I stopped in yesterday afternoon. I was browsing a rack of (overpriced, ugly) shirts and a sales associate just kept doing her thing like I wasn’t even there. I was getting pissier by the minute, so I decided to just stand where I was and pretend to be taking my time looking at shirts and she practically walked through me, sliding shirts along and shoving the flimsy rack so hard it was swaying. I made a sassy little noise and gave her a dirty look. Seriously?

I have to agree about the window display pulling me in… colorful well put together outfits that were no where to be seen inside the store.
I went into Jasmine’s in hopes of finding something that wasn’t black and didn’t have stripes on it. I envisioned the store to be a tasteful environment with good quality clothing,. I thought wrong. I walked in to a store PACKED with stuff. They had so much crap everywhere that it seemed more like a bargain basement looking to get rid of it’s merchandise than an establishment that cared about what they brought in.
If they had anything worth buying, I couldn’t find it. Just because they have a few designer jeans lying around doesn’t make them a good store.
Oh, and their staff seems to be as unselected as the clothing itself.

Nope, Unh huh, can’t do it.
This store is waaaaaaaaaaaay overpriced and has the most stuck up girls working there. $ 100 for a T-​shirt? Yes I’ve seen and it was the cheapest material you could imagine and poor quality to boot.
It’s too bad too, because the only nice thing I can say about this place is it’s extremely fashionable. But do yourself a favor, walk in take a peep b/​c the merchandising is fantastic. But wait because there are enough stores in Boston you’ll find the same brands for alot less.
I wish I could say the other Jasmine Solas had nice employees, but everyone I’ve been too — Burlington Mall, Harvard Square, Newbury St have the same breed. Oh well. Can’t win them all. :(

Decent boutique. Reminiscent of boutiques in San Francisco’s Marina District. A little trendy for my taste but I saw some cute pieces. Many items were overpriced. There was a fair selection of jeans, tops, skirts, dresses, shoes, etc. There was also a big sale going on when I stopped in — 50% off for several racks in the store. I left empty handed but enjoyed browsing.

Don’t blink or you might miss the 50% off sale here right now. It looks like everything in the store is 50% off any previously marked price — which could mean huge savings for you.
Now if I had the time, and not carrying a little army of stuff in both hands, I might have had more patience to sort through the racks. It seems like everyone found something to try on but not necessarily something to buy. I was in that category. Oh well.

I hardly ever find anything here that I’m interested in… I’m always drawn in by the mannequins for some reason… but then I can rarely find what they are dressed in on the racks… and if I do it looks like it’s falling apart and costs $ 150.
JS gets 3 stars tho because I recently stopped in for the ridiculous sale that they’ve been having for a couple weeks now, and actually found 3 things I was willing to wait in line behind 35 other girls for… including an amazing pair of pink and green Sauconys for $ 20!

If you are 15 years old or in need for basics (jeans, etc) then i guess this place is OK but i would much rather go to Saks.
The sales help is all young and in my opinion not as fashionable as i would hope them to be but normally nice to deal with.
The selection is large but very low quality merchandise marked up for high prices (other then a few random high-​end pieces).
If you are going to buy cheap… go to forever 21
If you are going to buy a leather bag and new J-​brand jeans, go to a dept. store like niemans or Saks… at least you can return for money back.
If you need some fashion/​shopping recommendations, ask me, I’m a pro at this stuff (:

I happen to enjoy Jasmine Sola… mostly for their acessories (sometimes I find a cute top or a dress) I find that the Brattle St location is the best of the lot as its largest and you get the shoe store as a bonus. (Which often has them same acessories so if you can’t find it in the main store walk down two doors) Sure its waaay over priced. Sure some of the same stuff can be found at Urban Outfitters across the street. But you can find some good pieces here now and again and it’s a fun place to escape to on my lunch break!

How do they get away with it?

My girlfriend loves this place but I guess I just don’t get it… the prices for the clothes are borderline ridiculous. No one should pay 90 bones for a thermal. That is the true fashion faux pas. There I said it.

The quality is lacking and the prices are way too high. Enough said I think.

I used to love this place when there were few better options… I rarely ever fins anything here and i agree that the clothes are low quality, trendy and over-​priced.

This is a huge store with friendly help. Pretty girls at a place like Jasmine Sola can often seem intimidating but they were all extremely nice the last time I was there with a friend. Guys don’t be shy, they have a considerable amount of stuff for us in there, mostly jeans but also some shoes and shirts, check it out.

I hate to admit it, but I like Jasmine Sola.
I agree — they’re pretentious, sometimes trashy, always overly-​trendy, and WAY too expensive… and yet they sell shoes and brands that you really can’t find anywhere else without taking a trip to Newbury St. or out to Bloomy’s in Chestnut Hill.
Dear Jasmine Sola —
Thank you for my aquamarine Pumas. I now own comfortable footwear that isn’t white and isn’t made by New Balance.
Muchismas Gracias,
Erinita

So trendy it hurts. Long time residents of the Square will remember when Jasmine Sola carried clothes that you didn’t need to be a skinny 18 year old to wear. Sadly, it gets more trendy/​skanky every year.
But, I’ll give it two stars because I occasionally go in to scoff, I’ll admit, and end up falling in love with something. Chances are good I can’t fit in it (as a size 10 I’m at the very top of their range), but sometimes I get lucky.

Sorry, I think most of the clothing in this place are tackapoo crap. And the stuff that’s cute is pretty overpriced, especially when you consider quality. Besides, if you want trendy, not-​made-​to-​last fashion, why not save lots of money and hit H&M instead?
Also, the salesgirls are generally unfriendly. I feel uncomfortable shopping here.

One of the few places in the Bean where you can pick up styles and brands from NYC without going to the city. They FINALLY have Miss Mooz shoes to go along with the Irregular Choice and other trendy brands. It can be expensive, but when you catch a sale, there are great deals. I find that the outlet near BU is not any cheaper than this location in Harvard Sq.

The space cadet salesgirls and limited quantities of the goods are a drag. And the skimpy tees with slogans boasting spoiled attitudes or shopping addictions could make even the most tolerant among us queasy. But when it comes to party jewelry, fun shoes, and hard to find denim labels, Jasmine Sola is pretty dependable.

Tends to be a bit pricey, but I snagged a purple lace tank top for $ 10, so you never know. Other locations include Newbury St. and Com Ave.
