Forever 21

Huge store with multiple levels but there are very staff working so the place is left very messy and clothes are all over the place. If you’re okay looking through piles of clothing, then this place is probably okay. But having gone through many immaculate Hong Kong stores, this Forever 21 store was a huge disappointment. Their prices are not necessarily that much more competitive and their quality is pretty subpar.

Forever 21! surely makes you feel like you could be 21 again!
I see clothing as an investment. If I want to invest in something that’s timeless, then I won’t come here. If I want to invest in something, that’s just for ONE season, or 2 — 5 wears, then I come to Forever21!
This place is good if you don’t want to spend too much on clothing. But, at the same time, you could get something better (for quality and price) if you spend maybe $ 100 more at Zara.
Quality? Not the best. It will look worn and torn after 3 — 5 washes.
Trendy? Yes, very trendy and fashion forward.
Worth it? In the short term, YES. In the long term, No.

Okay, you can’t really go wrong with Forever 21, can you? It is the ultimate paradise for shopping on a budget… wait. not just shopping on a budget but if you like to try out new looks as well.
This location is quite big — especially hk standards. It’s 5 floors including the basement. Bottom floor are sale items and mens. Poor guys, you only have half a floor and you’re in the basement. Lucky for us girls, the selection is never-​ending.
The accessories and lingerie are on the top floor. Aside from those, everything else are for girls.
They have such a good selection of the season’s trendiest looks. So for me, i usually come to forever 21 to try out a new look. if i end up liking the look i’m trying to rock, I usually then go buy a better quality version of that look.
One of the things about this store that annoys me however, is the traffic flow. Oh man! It frustrates the heck out of me every time. The escalators all go in one direction. So say that I wanted to go buy something on the accessories floor, I am forced to walk around and around and around and around 4 times until I reach it. Worst part is… I have to walk around and around and around… to get back to the ground floor.
It sometimes puts me off. I mean there are way too many people in the jam packed store already, don’t really need to make it more difficult for people.
In terms of quality-​wise, don’t expect your clothes to last for more than 3 months, if it does, it’s a bonus. It’s really for fashion-​sake. So if you wanna try out a new look, on a budget, this is your place!

When Forever 21 first arrived in HK a few years ago, it was huge, both in terms of the size of the store (which still stands, of course) and also its hype. I remember going there the week it opened and it was so crowded, it was practically impossible to get a good look at the clothes because there would just be people nudging past you or blocking your view. Now, the novelty has died down and F21, even on a weekend, isn’t that crowded.
I just want to put it out there that I am not a huge F21 shopper. For some reason, I can be adding item after item to my shopping cart on the online store (but never checking out, because online shopping usually results in a bunch of clothes that looked good in a picture, but not on me), but I rarely see anything I like in the physical store. I don’t think I have more than four items in my wardrobe that are from F21, but if I’m in the area I’ll still pop in because it’s convenient, cheap, and I’m hoping that on the off chance, I’ll see something I like.
Recently, I’ve been coming to F21 less because shopping here has become increasingly frustrating. First of all, F21 has always been kind of messy — I can find the same top on the first floor and see it again in two different places on the third floor. There’s no obvious way of organization, but at least the basics, like solid colored tops and tanks, were all on the basement and the third floor had more formal and business-​y clothes. But a few months ago, they changed everything. Now, the basement floor is just a cluster of random items, some of the basics are on the third floor, and the store has just become messier than it ever was. That’s what makes it really hard to find what you want — you never know where it might be, and because the store is so big, you probably won’t yield any luck asking the salespeople.
Another thing that irks me is that there are changing rooms on every floor, but about half of them are being used as a storage space so they’re not actually changing rooms anymore. This results in the two or three changing rooms that ARE still changing rooms having ridiculously long lines that never seem to move. I don’t recall it being like that until the recent months — I remember I always used to go to the changing rooms at the basement because it has the least people, but it’s out of bounds now.
All this makes shopping at F21 a less than pleasant experience — yes, the clothes are cheap, and there’s no harm in just walking around in the store, but I think I’d rather do some proper shopping at a place that’s slightly pricier but that has a system in terms of where the clothes are placed and changing rooms that aren’t blocked out!

I was super excited to see this huge fashion building right in front of me, when walking out from Causeway Bay MTR station. Forever 21 is a famous American brand selling girls’ fashion, they have everything include shirts, skirts, swimsuits, jackets, jeans, high heels, sunnies, necklaces and many many, all in LOW price.
Here is the heaven of girls, I can easily shop and spend over a thousand dollar. It’s great to find a shop similar to Ardene in Canada or Country Road in Australia. Style of Cotton On in Hong Kong is too causal, is hard to find something formal, but on the other way H&M is a bit too mature to me, whereas Forever 21 is just right.
The flagship store in Causeway Bay is actually bigger than you saw, they have six levels in total including the ground floor and basement. It is such a big building selling almost everything a girl need: leisure, work or party. The top floor is my favorite, mainly for shoes and accessories. There are many choices of sandals that you can take and try easily, most of them are chic and easy to carry.
Moreover, the location is perfect to shop, the only thing is never go in weekend. You can’t even squeeze into the shop! I reckon go shopping after dinner is the best time, here is a good place to release your stomach and also your wallet!
