Forever 21

Is it foolish to write a 4 star review for Forever 21? Maybe, but here we are. Me, writing the review and you, reading the review. Forever 21 is my guilty pleasure. The sales are amazing, super cheap and the full price is often not too expensive either. Quality is meh, but these days, I find, most clothing stores offer the same quality in their clothing. Hmmm. I wonder why? Probably because everything is made in the same factory over seas. The only difference is they slap on different labels, but that’s none of my business.
Currently, I’m loving Forever 21’s jewellery. It’s all affordable, and that’s saying a lot coming from someone who never pays full retail price for anything. Like, ever. Aside from hella affordable, it’s so cute and trendy. It’s as if they’ve created pieces I didn’t even know I’d like or wanted until I saw them in the store. Yes to the jewellery.
The clothing also gets a yes from me. This is a great store to hit up if you’re thinking of trying any trend for the season. They probably have one of everything since this store is the size of an outlet location. It’s massive. Come prepared to shop, and maybe leave your boyfriend/​sig other at home. Mine hates when I go in here because he knows deep down in his man heart that I’ll be in here for at least at hour.

My girlfriend spends an obscene amount of money at this store, but always looks ballin and dressed to the nines. I would recommend, but only if your girlfriend is as banging as mine.
In all seriousness, their guy’s clothing is nice, but not very sturdy. I got a nice jacket there, but it ripped already.

I have mixed feelings about Forever 21. I love the store and the items it offers, but there’s just something about this location. First of all, it is HUGE! And while this is a good thing it also means I have a hard time finding things and if I try something on to discover I need a new size there’s almost no chance at remembering where I picked it up. Usually in cases like this I’m more likely to give up and walk away empty handed. The staff don’t even know where things are located! Understandably… but still.
Another thing about it being so big is everything is ALWAYS a mess. It just adds to making things difficult to find. It’s way too big for the employees to keep it neat and tidy with the amount of people going through everything.
The employees are very nice and try to help the best they can, I’ve never had a problem there.
All in all I love this store… but it exhausts me!

Not bad, Forever 21, not bad. I was interested to visit Forever 21 since I heard it was opening, because my friends in the states told me what a great selection of clothes, including plus sized clothes, they had.
I’ve been here a few times now, and found something about 50 per cent of the time. Which is pretty good — you can’t expect to find something every time — but I wasn’t super impressed. They do have some great items — I’ve bought two or three dresses from the plus section — they’re great for work and another is perfect for a wedding this summer, but it takes AGES to find the right fit, length, style, etc. The store isn’t laid out very well… or maybe it is, because you have to search the WHOLE store to find what you want. Luckily, the plus section is located in it’s usual section at the back. Once you’re there it’s not exactly organized though. Dresses are scattered in with t-​shirts and pants. There’s no rhyme or reason to why it’s merchandised that way — casual leather stuck in with more formal floor-​length dresses — makes it a search to find what you want.
Once you do find what you want, though, things go pretty smoothly. Unless you think your size is the same as usual. It’s not. I’m a 1X, sometimes 2X, at most stores. At Forever 21 I’m anywhere from an XL to a 4X (which was, in some dresses, still too small). WTF sizing? However, the girls in the change rooms are sweet, and very helpful. They’ll search sizes for you, if you’re stuck in a 1X and you might need a 3X and offer suggestions. Warning though — some of their dresses are VERY short. Like long t-​shirt length. Just know what you’re trying on, or you may be surprised!
So, I think my overall verdict on Forever 21 is this — if you have time, and you don’t mind trying everything and doing a little searching, it’s a good place to shop. I have some super cute dresses from there and I’m very excited to wear them to the office and the weddings I have this summer. Overall, not bad Forever 21. Not bad.

As my check-​in states… the girlfriend made me do it.
This American chain (Having just been to the Vegas store) is no different than it’s brothers and sisters in the states (except the prices are little higher I suppose). but for my purposes I don’t find it all that appealing.
I know the boyfriend dragged along is not really what they aim to impress. but turn down the damn music.
Erhem. I am an old man again…
and a chair to sit in while the girlfriend/​wife/​sister tries on her 10 things?
I know. too much to ask.
Excuse me while I try out canes.

I really love the clothes in this store… BUT the layout is HORRIBLE. Instead of grouping all the dresses and shorts and tops. It’s all scattered. I am so overwhelmed when I enter the store. I don’t even know where to go.

I had been to Forever 21 in Las Vegas before and wasn’t overly impressed with the style of clothing. You can find a few treasures here and there but most of the stuff is just not for me. It’s too 70’s and 80’s styled and really impractical. I just quickly walked through yesterday on New years eve and couldn’t stand the loud music and just how busy it still is after being opened for over a week. Prices are good depending on what you are looking for but most of the clothes are of poor quality and even with low prices aren’t worth it to me.

I visited Forever 21 this past Friday, the day before their opening day — apparently they were ready a day early and decided to open. First impressions/​comments went as follows: «holy this place is huge,» «o-​m-​g I think the 80s/​90s exploded in here,» «I feel like I am in an episode of Fresh Prince,» «the prices are so cheap!,» and «a lot of this clothing is not very practical.»
I have never been to a Forever 21 so I did not know what to expect, but I can gaurantee I was not the only one thinking that I stepped back in time due to the clothing options (sholdour pads, overalls, crop tops, mc hammer pants, one peice bottom/​tops, ugly sweaters, crazy shoes). There were also creepy mannequins everywhere displaying potential outfit ideas. The store seemed to be 85% for women (I would say teenager to early 30s range), 5% men, 5% little girls and 5% plus size — there were no options for little boys. There were employees everywhere, some spread out, others were in groups having conversations, and some seemed lost or confused.
I found quite a few cute dresses and some skirts so I decided to try them on. I am not a small person, but I am not ‘big’ either — I consider myself average and wear anywhere from M-​XL in other stores depending on the fit and style (L-​XL in shirts due to my chest area measurements haha) but oh my they make things some small here… the L items did not just not fit, they were no where close to fitting. If you need bigger then a L, you must go to the plus size section which seemed to only have sizes like 3XL, 2XL, and the options were in my opinion much much less appealing than the regular section. However, I was able to get some skirts from the regular section, and I also got an infinity scarf.
I honestly would wear a lot of what is in this store if I was not concerned that half the material is missing and/​or body parts are hanging out; the style of 80s/​90s is making a comeback after all. As I have been telling others, I will be back to buy more clothes once I lose 20 pounds and 2 bra sizes… haha
I would reccommend checking it out, if the style that they offer is not for you, go anyways as you will get some good laughs out of the experience like my brother and I did.
