Urban Outfitters

Super helpful staff, convenient hours, quick in and out… exactly what your looking for when ya need a fashion fix quick. Excellent array of sizes on the floor.

The men’s fashion selection is terrible and outdated, i have been seeing the same clothes for the past year, needs way more variety and NEW stuff.

I normally could care less when a cashier who makes $ 10/​hr is rude because I just believe they are upset with themselves, however, today was a different story. While shopping and picking out a Christmas gift for my mother I was basically emotionally slapped by a cashier named Brian at this location. Not only was he bitchy but he was less than remorseful when I told him how he was acting. He is extremely cocky, very flamboyant and simply RUDE.
This is less than desirable when you’re working in the public adding the fact that online shopping allows you to skip the pushy, angry sales associate (assuming you have a daily goal to make).I’d think you’d be a bit more humble and normal. Check your attitude at the door, Brian. Best of luck to you once you get into the real work force.
Sincerely,
Willing to go to great length to avoid your location
Lincoln Park, Chicago 60 614

Just stopped by after my workout to look for Christmas gifts and hostesses gifts. I also needed a black tank.
Not one hello. Not one may I help you? Place was empty and two sales people on floor. Vibe was just rude.
I needed the black tank asap so purchased. The rest of the items I needed there are way too many other places to shop. Will not return.

Update your hours on Unilocal!I just stopped at your store after work to get a last minute birthday gift for a friend, and the doors were locked at 7:58 pm. The guy inside saw me trying to come in, but blatantly ignored me. So disappointing, and a lazy oversight on your end.

«EVERYTHING I WANT TO NEVER FORGET (& SOME THINGS I DO)»
When I saw this emblazoned in gold foil on aquamarine on the cover of a photo album, I knew I had to have it. I’m not crafty, so I loathe scrapbooking, but I love taking photos and printing out all 300 poses of my dog and vacation on Shutterfly — so I need something to store them in. Every once in awhile I find something really unique at Urban Outfitters.
My rule of thumb when shopping in Chicago is «don’t go to retailers if they have a convenient location in the suburbs,» because sales tax in Chicago is a whopping 10% compared to the 7−8% in the suburbs. I could save myself a whole DOLLAR! Besides, I love shopping at small, independent boutiques when I can. However… I could not resist Urban Outfitters, and I’m glad I didn’t fight it!

I called to speak to a manager and Samantha answered the phone. She didn’t tell me she was even a manager after I asked for one, so I was confused as to whether or not I should have been talking to her in the first place. Her tone was awful; very condescending and made me feel like my request for information was futile. She should go over how to speak to customers again, seriously.
Other than that, the staff is great and the merchandise is well-​presented.

It’s Urban Outfitters… you get what you get. I must have gone when all the hipsters were still sleeping off their ironic hangovers, because it was nice and empty and I didn’t feel like a total loser for not shopping while wearing a unicorn shirt and leggings.

Just your standard Urban. Nothing too crazy.

I’m a pretty small-​framed person… so, it’s always a challenge finding pants that actually fit my waist AND are relatively stylish. This location generally seems to have exactly what I need… at reasonable prices.

There’s something about this location that draws you in. Great staff, clean store, and a nice variety of merchandise.
I will be back soon and I hope to see you there!

This store has lots of clothes, but don’t come here looking for anything to decorate your home with unless it’s a coffee table or silly records. They mostly just have men’s and women’s things. Staff is nice, though! Sale is in the way back also, by the fitting rooms.
Again, only come here for small gifts, clothing, or shoes.

I like this urban location. Even though it’s small, they always have what I want and I always find something good. They have a separate room for sale and it’s always filled with different options.
The staff is helpful and nice. It’s convenient for me as well

Not crazy about the layout in this store. The back room sale section makes me a little nervous. I have only been there when it was dead and it looks like it is a recipie for chick fight disaster. But maybe you are into that.

Black silk short-​shorts smothered in intricate patterns of teeny-​tiny gold beads?
It’s Vargas pin-​up girl meets Cleopatra chic! I can’t live without them!
Oh, this is dangerous.
So I go in to the sale room in the back, because from time to time you can find quite the deal for an impulse price point. Problem is that sometimes you fall in love with a piece that you didn’t even know existed before you browsed the racks… and it is not only not your size… it is a size you couldn’t even realistically dream your bum will ever squeeze into!
Okay, I admit I squeezed into the very last pair left in a measly size 2– but it wasn’t pretty… precisely like the ubiquitous fat guy on any beach who has defied physics by stretching that thong speedo far beyond any rationality and can somehow still waddle far enough to blind all present and a few beyond immediate vision…
So Noticing my pathetic distress Ariel (looks like Jesus and can perform retail apparel miracles!) kindly took the time to check on where these shorts in a reasonable size 6 may be waiting me. Turns out they reside in… Canada. No joke. So he called the corporate location where a brand new pair was waiting to go home with me and mingle amongst my wardrobe– it was PHENOMENAL– he the precise sale price point, scored free shipping, delivery to my desk at work and the perfect size 6.

First I have to say I’m a huge UO fan so when I know they were going to open one down the street from me, I had trouble sleeping at night.
That being said, I have not been able to spend lots of money here due to various reasons. (1) I feel like this place have slightly less stuff than the UO down on State st, or Wicker Park, or the one on Clark. It only takes me 10 minutes to walk around and I get upset that I don’t have anything on my arms to try on. (2) It really bothered me that they had their doors opened during the winter, well, at least for the times I was there. (3) their sales selection is a bit of a disappointment. If you want UO sales, make it to Wicker Park or State St.
Still, I am a strict follower of UO and I make it here every other week or so. It helps that they always have funky stuffs and books for my boyfriend to entertain himself when I walk around. The employees are nice, and it’s definitely clean and well organized. Will definitely come back regularly.

I like this UO location, since it’s still sparkly and clean and really looks brand-​new. I found two beautiful dresses there, but out of the nine I tried on, those were the only two that worked for me. That’s how UO always is for me — for every great item of clothing, there’s two or three that are ridiculous in some way… like they’re a really odd length, or totally sheer, or wouldn’t match anything I own. They had some good clearance deals on makeup and accessories, so I also snagged two cool nail polishes and a cheap black headband. Salespeople weren’t especially helpful, more of the «let me know if you need anything» variety, and not the «how can I help you?» variety, but that’s okay. The dresses were pricier than they’re worth, but I had a gift card that I needed to spend, so that made it a lot more affordable. It’s a fun store, but hard to afford on my sad social worker salary.

I’m still dumbfounded as to why you’d want to pay a lot of money on something I’m 90% sure you could have found at a Salvation Army store… maybe it’s a «germs of owners’ past» thing. *shrugs* Anywho, I still like UO, and I have no problem with this particular store. I only noticed two employees when I went in, both were courteous and helpful. Much smaller than the downtown UO, so if you want more variety, then hop on the red line. Sale section is über small and in some sort of back room, but I picked up a great handbag, so all wasn’t lost. They also carry glitter eyeshadow that made my inner disco diva squee in delight. I’d go back there.

I’m writing this review mostly to provide proof that you can still snag an FTR in Chicago proper. This was brought to my attention when I couldn’t check-​in on my Android. Wild, huh?
So, this Urban Outfitters outpost opened back in December of 2010. A few months in, the space has yet to lose its new car smell. The store is all-​out sparkly clean and even more organized than my condo immediately post-​Anna (that’s my hired domestic goddess). I really don’t shop UO for summerific spaghetti-​strap sundresses the way I used to (they’re overpriced here), but I do dabble in the shoes and accessories areas. The throw-​away chic retailer does inexpensive aviator sunglasses well, and I adore their collection of patterned sexy stockings (I picked up a marked-​down pair for only $ 5. Seriously, they’re painted-​on sex for the gams).
Also worth checking out is the stand-​alone sales section. I found a few printed long-​sleeved thermals for $ 10 (with a close-​fitting, feminine cut). Welcome to the closet, new weapons and essentials!
