Fit

I was on my way to meet my husband for dinner on College Ave and had a few minutes to spare, so I decided to walk into Fit to browse around. When I entered, I was on my cell phone saying goodbye to my husband after quickly telling him where I was while also making eye contact to the two sales women in the store. I was promptly greeted with a «Hello» and «We don’t allow cell phones in here». I asked them to repeat what they said and they did. Their attitude and tone were so rude, abrupt, and condescending that I just turned around and walked right out the door. I hate to break it to you Fit sales ladies, but 90% of the population has cell phones… so get over it. I will never patronize this store ever again.

Still love FIT after all these years. Classic, high quality clothing that will look great for years. I really appreciate small neighborhood boutiques like FIT that buy with their customer in mind. Go!

This is my go-​to place to buy clothes for everyday or for special occasions. I’ve been going to this store for years and have never been disappointed with the clothes that I purchase. You can find pieces that reflect a range of prices although the prices are always fair.
I can always trust Joyce and Denise’s opinion on what looks good and what doesn’t.
I love this place!

I have a love hate relationship with this place. I love the clothes. Classic, tailored, nice range of brands (although a little heavy on the DVF.) As much as I want to wear funkier clothes, tailored just looks better on me so it’s a great place for fancy outfits and work stuff.
However, whenever I walk in the place I feel like the ladies behind the counter just see me as a walking dollar sign. One or two are good, and actually give you helpful feedback. But the owner in particular is a whole other level of pushy. It’s almost funny except it gets annoying really quickly when she’s trying to convince you to buy something because it’s classic even though it doesn’t looks great on me and is $ 300.
I’ll probably go there again — they have great sales and I’ve gotten some fabulous stuff. But I will still be annoyed.

Had a «Pretty Woman» moment at this boutique. I was silently admiring a slip on a mannequin and the sales woman piped up from her perch to inform me that it’s not a dress, but a slip, and asked me with a haughty cut on her jib what exactly do I use slips for.
For the rest of my perusal she sat like a popsicle with a cold awareness on the periphery. I was looking dressed down and a little disheveled, so I wasn’t exactly letting on that I had been nesting some $ 2000 to dish out for some new closet additions.
That’s okay. I wasn’t blown away by their selection.
Contrary to the photos used on Unilocal,their in-​stock styles have neither allure nor whimsy, but rather invoke «stuffy, frigid, desexualized housewife;»
boomer fashion for the torpid, functionally married.
The store made me ponder the less desirable effects of menopause, and the vacant grimace of the sales lady, the notion that we all must die alone… but some of us are already quite alone and dead to the world.

Love that place!!!
I walk in with a vague idea what I need and come out with a great outfit that lasts forever. Great quality and great fit. yes, items are expensive but of high quality and I have had them for years.
The other day I walked in with a bunch of boots and 5 skirts — I had no matching tops. I walked out with a 3 new tops perfectly fitting my existing wardrobe (and mix and match options too). Talking about recycling my old/​existing wardrobe …

Would give them more stars for their selection of cute dresses and tops. Bought a stylish dress here a couple of years ago, but I won’t shop here again. Been there twice now, and the sales ladies are rather snobby with their fake smiles while they follow you around, quickly refolding whatever you picked up to look at. And if you are a mom who happens to have a toddler with you while shopping, don’t go in there. They don’t like them.

I’m a sucker for boutiques. They got the «high end» stuff at Fit. They have a few fashionable pieces… Despite the high end clothing and prices… I was really shocked that I was spoken to and asked if I needed any assistance. I didn’t buy anything, but I appreciated the fact that I still got customer service and everything in that store was of good quality.

I’ve recently come to the conclusion that I’d rather save up for a high quality item of clothing that I will be able to wear for years rather than spend money on flash-​in-​the-​pan fashions that will scream «I think the best years of my life are behind me, so I’m going to cling to my youth by shopping at Forever 21 well into my late 20’s.»
This is the reason that I love FIT. Their clothing is classic and beautiful, and the sales staff are friendly without making you feel bad if you don’t end up buying something. They’ve given me their honest opinion on several dresses (That one’s pretty, but too formal for you to wear to work. You’ll get more wear out of the other one, etc).
Is there clothing expensive? YES. Is it worth the investment? I think so. I’ve gotten compliments on the few (but cherished) items that I’ve purchased there, and I’m always happy with the way I feel wearing their clothing.

I ain’t saying their dresses aren’t pretty, or that the picture of Diane Von Fürstenberg outside isn’t cool. I’m just saying that I don’t *look* like I can shell out $ 400 for a dress or $ 225 for a sweater, and that’s probably why the sales staff have snubbed me on two occasions. Their loss! I went to another shop.

its the best. go there.

Beautiful, tasteful and elegant clothes — everything I have from there works for me all the time. Go for the tailored pants, fun and funky t-​shirts, beautiful leather bags and great dresses!

I really enjoy shopping here. I would agree with the one reviewer about lack of girly items. Lucky for me, I’m not a girly girl and my job requires more conservative business professional clothing. (shocking, I know, in CA). I always end up with great service and really unique items. I say end up, b/​c often in the beginning of my browsing, service is a little slow. I think that’s because they’re busy helping other gals already in the dressing room.
However, once you’re in a dressing room, they start pulling items and before you know it, I have a stack of new clothing that I just have to have! They receive regular shipments and carry many high end brands that I enjoy. They give honest opinions and tried to talk me out of a $ 700 pantsuit last time, which they liked on me but didn’t love. I still liked it and bought it anyway. I’m never rushed and have been known to try on 40 items and spend at least 1 hour in the dressing room. If only they could create space for more dressing rooms.
So while I spend more money here than I ever intend to, I end up LOVING the item and get more use out of it than some plain, non unique garment from the box stores. I encourage you to give it a whirl.

the best customer service… you never feel obligated to buy something you just want to because of you natural women instincts

I’m a sucker for boutiques, especially those that line College Ave. I wandered into Fit one Saturday afternoon in search of a dual purpose dress to wear to both a girlfriend’s wedding and to my own post-​marriage ceremony dinner.
I was only in the shop for a minute or two when a women came out from behind the counter to ask me what I was looking for and to help me with my dress selection. I’m used to going into these types of stores and being completely ignored, so the helpful service was quite welcome.
In less than a half hour, I tried on three dresses, fell in love with one of them and was given jewelery, shoe and purse options to help complete the outfit. I left with only the dress, but was grateful for the dress/​jewelery/​purse pairings to give me some good ideas.
Both ladies were super helpful and seemed genuinely interested in my marriage ceremony plans. Oh, did I mention that I’m also a sucker for great customer service?

i was really bored one saturday afternoon and to kill some time i decided to stroll down college ave to see if i could find a new dress or some other unnecessary item of clothing.
FIT has a great selection from lines such as DVF, clu, robert rodriguez, cop copine, and they’re one of the few boutiques around the area that i’ve seen carry bettye muller shoes. but the pieces are a bit too grownup for me… i prefer much girler, frillier pieces (think rebecca taylor, catherine malandrino, tracy reese). maybe someday when i decide to trade in my ruffly white dresses and empire waisted smocks for real seperates and sophisticated dresses i’ll be able to find something here.
plus one star for friendly staff who really earnestly tried to help me find something :)
