Forever XXI

Despite being huge and displaying an overwhelming collection of clothing, this place is surprisingly very organized and clean. It’s been an awfully long time since my 21^st birthday (!), but I feel very comfortable shopping at this particular store because of its more mature selection of clothing and therefore, clientele. They seem to have a better collection of dresses and work blouses here.

I don’t understand the hype about forever21. I don’t know why everyone freaks out over it. It’s all just low quality, sweatshop made trendy items that most of the time aren’t going to have a nice fit. You wear the products a couple times & they literarily fall apart. The companies return policy is really strict so you’re just out the money.
As for this location, the staff is very moody. Typical for a store like this. The store is most of the time messy & no one knows anything. It’s frustrating. I’m not a big fan. The only good thing about this location is they carry so much stuff, if you have the time to dig & you want something you’ll only need once or so you might find it here.

I’ve never been in this store before, thinking that the styles on the mannequins were too teenagerish. The Hubster convinced me by saying «Wow, $ 30 for dresses.»
I went in and found some great fashions for adults. I picked up a few of good dresses (party and work) while the Hubster tried on a couple of jeans. The change room line was long, but the person managing it had everything under control and it went by pretty quickly. Two of the dresses fit really great and came to $ 33 each. The Hubster was out of luck with the jeans since he doesn’t think he can pull off the tight tight «Hey everyone, this is EXACTLY what my junk looks like!» styles that the kids are wearing these days.
While checking out, I noted that none of the dresses had belts in them on the rack, but they all had belt loops. The checkout person showed me to a drawer full of belts and let me pick one for my dress. I liked that.
I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the market for clothes, but I probably won’t be back on a weekday.

I just was at Forever 21 I have heard many good things about this store. Its amazing. I love the clothes. They fit haha… thats important. However I dont always find the workers very friendly. They are helpful but not friendly sometimes you can smile. I bought a dress there after waiting in the line up for a while. Go in the mornings

Wow.
I was overwhelmed by this store. On a weekend trip to Toronto for a family wedding, I was dropped off at Fairview Mall for a few hours to find some accessories. I had heard about Forever 21 and had perused online but never ordered. Once I stepped foot inside, I was immediately in heaven!
I ransacked the plus size section and the accessories and couldnt believe the low prices. Great for disposable clothing, which I dont mind mixing int with classic, longer lasting pieces in my wardrobe.
Some of the staff were wonderful, others were snarky. I couldnt tell if it was different because of it being Toronto or if they were just unhappy, haha!
Anyways, I’m back in Halifax now and my dear mama who is still there is going back to get more pieces for me.
Viva Forever21!

This is my fav forever XXI in the city and my dirty fashionista secret. What F21 lacks in quality they make up in price and style. This is what Le Château used to be in the early 90’s, amazing disposable clothing meant to last a season or two at minimal prices.
I am a size 14 which means I have problems finding clothing in regular sizes because they are too tight, or plus stores because they are cut too big (and I don’t want to look like a cougar!) This place carries a plus line which is more like an extension of their regular sizes.
My super thin friends can’t find jeans under $ 40 anywhere and I pay $ 14 for mine! Cute summer dresses, cocktail dresses, denim skirts… this place knows how to make cute stuff.

Having been to several Forever XXI stores around the US, I have to say that this location is a really nice one. It’s big, spacious, well organized and has a huge selection of stock. It is infinitely better organized than the Yonge & Dundas store in downtown Toronto. It’s about half the size of the Vaughn Mills location (and therefore doesn’t carry everything that XXI makes) but it’s really close to where I live so I come here most often.
It’s is a very big space, and they use it well to showcase the different lines that XXI makes like Heritage and Faith. Most times I’ve come in the store is clean and organized (not counting Boxing Day, but all bets are off on that day!). There are tons of fitting rooms in the back (just beyond the cash register desk) so you’re never waiting too long to try things on.
The accessories are located in the back of store, in front of the cash desk — it’s a good move. Easier to keep an eye on the «little things» from a loss prevention point of view (yes, I do think this way after working in retail for many years) but a great selling point since customers see something sparkly as they are waiting in line and add it to their purchase — and this has happened to me a few times here!
I’ll be honest — I don’t own any clothes from here other than a few graphic t-​shirts. Their sizing is just too small for me, which is a shame since I consider myself average sized — I’m just not a rail thin 14 year old. I love their dresses and skirts but they just don’t work on me. I’ve looked at the Faith line (plus size) but why is it that all plus size clothes look like draped tunics and muumuu’s? It’s not flattering to ANY body shape.
I come here to look at the accessories — they are very inexpensive and a great way to update my wardrobe from season to season. My sister recently bought a handbag at this store for about $ 29 that is a dead look-​alike for a Steve Madden bag, and I’ve found really adorable necklaces and necklace stands that would be 8x the price at Anthropologie.
The exchange policy here is strict since their items has such a fast turnover and are inexpensive — no returns, exchange ONLY, with receipt, within 21 days.

Forever 21 I used to walk by all the time and think who in the world would shop there, umm me!
This place is always very organized and there is clothes all still neatly sitting around that looks like a hundred million people haven’t touched yet!
This store is big and they keep it well organized and together even when they have cheap prices and decent looking clothing, you would think there would be clothes all over the place and crazy Chic’s in here digging around looking for the prefect outfit.
The dressing rooms are big, too, and you can bring everything you wanna try on in with you, instead of only being allowed a couple items.
They have clothes for everybody if you ask me, why does it matter who you are to be able to wear clothes from here, if you like it and you look good in it, wear it, buy it!
The shopping experience is so relaxing when everything is where it should be and you don’t have to hunt around for your size because it is hanging in another location where it shouldn’t be, very well organized indeed!

I know that’s I’m growing out of that bopper phase, but how can you walk away from those prices? I tell you… I cannot.
I couldn’t believe how organized this place is. It’s 7pm… and the clothes are still stacked?! the hangers aren’t all tangled?! This store is pretty big and they are managing it very well. Even the dressing rooms are big, too, and they actually let you go over the 6 garment limit. I probably feel most bad for the girl that has to organize all the unwanted clothes coming out of the dressing rooms. She was workin’ like a mad woman yesterday. Props to her.
This location also carries «Faith» for plus sizes. Cute, inexpensive, quality plus sizes. Definitely deserving of a star there.
The fact that this place is so well kept makes shopping that much more enjoyable.

The clothes are relatively inexpensive & always trendy… but you should already know that. This review is more about the actual store. Compared to the yonge and dundas location, this one is heaven. The clothes are kept organized and tidy, and the store is huge. The shopping experience is just so much more relaxing compared to downtown & they carry more sizes and more designs.

Forever 21 is one of my favourite stores because it really offers a huge variety fun clothing and accessories that are very different from other items I have purchased from other places.
Also, my little joke about the store is that it makes you feel FOREVER 21 and that it is called Forever 21 because all clothing is usual FOREVER 21 DOLLARS!!!
I admit that I used to feel iffy about this store but then they opened up a HUGE and bright Forever 21 in Fairview Mall and it melted my heart.
I only had my first visit at this new location last week and I am already in love.
For the Spring and Summer seasons, this store is stocked full with plenty of bright colours, adorable prints and fun and flashy metallics.
One thing they are definitely not lacking are summer dresses for us ladies! From what I counted, they have at least 25 different styles you can buy, in either bright jewelled tones to cute floral or polka dot patterns.
Most of the dresses are great to wear on a hot summer’s day or as a sexy dress to wear out, dressed up with sexy sandals and jewelery.
I bought a bright, aqua blue summer dress in a light cotton and it was only $ 21.50!
On top of that, they have tons of unique looking tops, both work appropriate and clubbing appropriate.
They also have a cool line, which has light sweaters and tops that look vintage. I was thinking trendy 1950s when I saw these fashions.
Some people may think this store is too cheap and too young for their tastes, but I urge you to think again! I promise you will grab some fun wear in Forever 21.
