Urban Outfitters

Great selection but got walked on in the dressing room by a customer and employee. Do something to PREVENT THAT from happening. I’m never coming back.

Come on folks. When I went here in the middle the day with no one else in the store, the sales people were so sluggish and almost useless. I don’t know whether they’re just trying to be cool or whether they’re just the lazy crew. I went in for a belt and the salesperson had a hard time explaining which one I should choose. The person of the dressing room was also very lassez faire on providing guidance about the style. Their selection of belts was not that great. And it was very «meh» overall. Improvement point: Listen to the customer and make a recommendation that you can defend with fashion principles.

I typically like walking into Urban Outfitters to see what cute little gift ideas I might find. They’ve become really hipster, so I feel old whenever I go in, but that’s ok… haha. If the stars are aligned, they’ll have some super good sales going on. Their sale section usually has something fun and cute. They have a good selection of fun t-​shirts. The sales staff can be a bit off, but other than that, its a good place to kill some time.

I love this urban outfitters location! It can be difficult to find parking sometimes, but they have an awesome sale rack. Also, it’s more organized than the North Park location and the staff are always friendly and helpful.

If I had to pick one store that carried everything that’s in my style, and was affordable, it would be Urban Out. Pat Baby hates going in here because it’s practically a store for hipsters (he is in denial that he’s actually dating one).
The clothing here are like street styles you won’t see on the cat walk, but is everywhere on fashion blogs like Tumblr. Think high waisted cut off shorts and cropped tops, definitely lots of flannel and Jeffrey Campbell’s. I love the undergarment section here because it’s not your typical VS styles. They have a good selection of lace vintage looking bralettes to choose from that look incredible for the smaller sized gals. Watch out for deals like 4 for $ 19 underwear or $ 39 BDG jeans!
Then there is a section with pretty cool knick knacks and fun books that are really meant for the coffee table. I guess people still buy records and record players made for the modern world, so there are plenty of those too here. In the middle of the women’s section is an entire table of Tony Moly beauty products which I completely love, like lip balms and hand creams! Unfortunately, there is a huge markup on them since it’s a South Korean brand. Still, UO has a lot of things you can get as gifts for your off-​beat quirky friend.
The main difference about this store from the other locations in Dallas, besides being very spacious and fairly organized, is that they carry some home products. You almost always have to buy their home/​apartment goods online, but they carry some pillows, quilts, glass containers for terraniums, and even footstools in this store.
I know the styles here may not be for everyone, but for those that like it, this is definitely the best UO store in town!

Clothes are just ok for my taste, but cute jewelry and tons of great books. They also have records and players, which is hard to find at a good price. The home good (sheets, pics, pillows) are so vibrant and would fit into many different styles. This location was clean and staff was friendly.

I came here with high hopes. I like the clothes and saw plenty of men’s grooming products online. I figure with that kind of inventory they must have plenty in store to browse.
Nope. That would be a no. No grooming for men, especially not for beards. Ok, so next question — shoes. I wear a 14. Nope. A few go to 13 but that’s it. Pants? No. Average to skinny only, certainly no one big and/​or tall. As a consolation I found a shirt I liked. And sure enough, it was only available in a Large or smaller. Guess who wears XL?
On the way out (empty handed), I asked if they at least had a restroom. But nuh-​uh. No public restrooms either. Try the Starbucks next door.
I feel like a Democratic president with a Republican congress. No matter what I ask here, the answer is no. Basically, unless you’re perfectly average in every way, then Urban Outfitters’s message to you is F*** YOU! Take your money elsewhere, we don’t want your kind in here. And so it shall be. Never again, UO. Never again.

Great place to pick up last minute gifts. Everything bought here was a big hit at Christmas. Seriously, you don’t know you need Pac Man shot glasses until you hold them in your hand. Tons of fun books, vinyl and of course clothes and home items. I love this store.

TERRIBLE! Literraly me and a friend were in there for less than five minutes before being accused of stealing! My friend told the sales associate SEVERAL times that she went off because of her dart pass. she claimed it was impossible. she’s had passes before. after embarrassing her and making her empty out everything she had. THEN did she realize it was the DART passes. why wouldn’t you check first! She gave a bulls**t ass apology and walked off. my friend was checked for stealing longer than we was searching in the store. I just don’t understand!

I’ve really only been here maybe once or twice before,
But after each bad experience I’ve decided «NO MORE!»
The clothes are simple and the prices are always outrageously high
The «sale» racks aren’t your typical; they make me gasp then sigh.
Who wants to pay twice as much for the same exact junk?!
That Northpark has, you can get there in a hop, skip and a jump.
But this last time I went there particularly annoyed me,
I was there to buy shoes and some pants, no biggie.
I asked for some help with a size (I wear a size ten)
And was distraught when I was ignored again and again.
I asked the cashier and the dressing room attendant
And each one blurted out «give me a minute»
The store was quite empty and no one was busy,
It’s not like the employees were running around till they were dizzy
After three times of asking and waiting a while,
I was approached by a guy (we will call him «Kyle»)
He asked what size? What shoe? And left very quickly
But kept me waiting long enough to make anyone sickly.
After what seems like hours and after almost losing my head
He returned empty handed and this is what he said…
«We’re out»
Can we try that again, except with a lot less attitude
I’m not the one responsible for everyone’s bad mood.
Well thanks for keeping me waiting for what seemed like an eternity
I will definitely not be back. You won’t be hearing anymore from me.

The pros: my daughter will actually wear the pants that she gets from this store. They have a lot of gag gifts.
The cons: Firstly, most merchandise is overpriced and poorly constructed. My daughter found a pair of skinny jeans — $ 98! Got them home, washed them once and the side seam came unstitched. She got some earrings — $ 15 — the backing fell off when she took them off the cardboard holder they came on. Secondly, do not ask if there is a restroom you can use. You will be directed to the Starbucks down the sidewalk like some kind of homeless bum, not the money-​spending customer you aspire to be. I mentioned this to the manager and his response was that they can’t let customers use the restroom in the store because the restroom is in the back where merchandise and cash are kept. My daughter is free to spend her money there, but as for me, I can think of many other places where I will be spending mine.

I’d vote going to this UO compared to the unorganized/​cramped version at North Park. This location is definitely more spacious and has more of everything to choose from. Plus, if you don’t find anything here, you can just spend half of your day perusing the other shops in the area or getting a bite to eat. This UO allows me to actually spend time looking at the knick-​knacks, books, and vinyl records they carry, which can be quite extensive. I always applaud UO for their surplus supply of awkward books (except Boo the dog), gifts, and mustaches! Their clearance section is pretty extensive, and you don’t have to worry so much about finding your sizes as much as you do at the North Park location. Parking on the main lot can be a pain sometimes during peak hours, but they do have plenty of garage parking.

So a store that has as much junk as it has clothes! I’m a lover of all things that my Mom would well consider crap, like a bathroom sign in book, yeah you can get one of those there, along with a purse and some cute undies.
I work across the way from this particular store and find myself wondering over sometimes to check out the sales or just look at all the fabulous knick knacks. The employees aren’t overly nice, nor are they surly. They just do their job and if you need something they will help.
I like it, it can be a fun waste of time if you need it, and trust me you’ll find some $ 5 item that you can’t live without because it’s cute, or has puppies on it, or has your favorite childhood cartoon character on it.

This place is not organized. Their sale stuff is randomly placed EVERYwhere and the clothing is not categorized very well either. Why 3 stars even after the negativity? Because I love Urban Outfitters haha. They don’t have public restrooms and yet expect you to be able to see all of their stuff without a potty break??? Don’t get me wrong, I still love Urban! These guys just need to be more friendly and organized, that’s all.

Oh Urban Outfitters, how I love thee, how I hate thee.
I’ll be fair and say what they do well, they do really well. So let’s take a look at a fun and easy pro & con list, hmmm?
Pros:
As others have said (and nearly everyone knows) their books, nick knacks and other random fun ‘junk’ are decently priced and awesome. Stocking stuffers galore.
CLEARANCE SECTION!!! The stuff dreams are made of. It’s pretty dang huge. A lot of the stuff is off-​season, but not always. And let’s be real — we live in Texas people. We don’t have normal seasons. You’ll be alright. Sure you have to dig a bit sometimes but I’ve found some great deals on stuff. Because come on…(to be continued below)
Cons:
…95% of the stuff in that store is way overpriced. Is it cute? Yep. Am I EVER going to pay $ 38 for a t-​shirt? No. Hell no. Seriously? Imma smack you real quick. Stop it.
For some reason, hardly anything there fits me. Now I’m not a ‘big’ girl, but I’m also not a toothpick. Finding a pair of jeans that doesn’t make my ass flat is impossible. As in, it does not exist. No really, I’ve tried them all. What you got against a little booty Urban Outfitters? For shame.
But, because I’ve scored more than a few cute, reasonably priced things there at the beloved clearance section (including a few pairs of AWESOME shoes for less than $ 20), they are A-​OK in my book.

I love Urban Outfitters and their willingness to sell a host of different products for a fairly reasonable price. I was looking for a gift that wasn’t going to be expected and found just what I was looking for and then some more. I was also impresses that they still had Christmas gift boxes available and their back is a cute reusable bag, how green!
Parking at Mockingbird station is awful so I always like to go with an agenda to stay for a bit to make the parking worth it.

This is usually my go to store for quirky gifts. They have cute stuff at Christmas. I bought a small completely red tree with mini balls (giggle) that is just too cute in my apartment. Got some white elephant gifts including a Santa coozie and a pooping reindeer. In the past I’ve bought silly board games, books, glassware, cards. They also have some cool home accessories like wall art and pillows. It’s not all silly. I haven’t looked at the clothes in a really long time as most of it never fits my chunky figure, but I do see cute stuff.
This place is definitely worth checking out if you are having problems coming up with gift ideas. Bonus thing I thought was nice is they will email you the receipt after you check out. Saving paper, ftw!

UO is where I can get my wacky knick-​knack fix. Best books for coffee tables, hands down! Funky pillows and stuff to hang on your wall like paper mache deer antlers, or cut tin letters to sit on your shelf. They have some cool curtains — run about the same prices as World Market or Pier One. A small selection of rugs — the rag rugs are always fun. You can also go to their website and see a much larger selection of all of the above plus furniture!
Oh yeah, they also sell clothes.

I am not one to dote on a national store notoriously known for their jacked-​up prices for not so quality clothes, but gosh-​darnit, I am a sucker for fun prints and flare. You must admit, they do a fantastic job of luring the foot traffic in with their superbly-​curated window display and floor design. Their store designers have such a knack for being ahead of the curve when it comes to urban art design, fashion, music, and just overall lifestyle of ‘the kids these days’ This initiative truly makes you want to be young again. I know I am not receiving medicare yet, but I am talking teenage young.
Admittedly, still shopping like a teeny-​bopper, I enjoy avoiding the hustle and bustle of the mall, and shop at the Mockingbird Station location. It’s always cleaner, less spastic, and not as disheveled as the North Park spot. More importantly, I was greeted by every one of the staff that were vigorously working to keep the store in prime, perusing condition. The young man at the check-​out was no lovely and kept apologizing for taking too long. I didn’t event notice, but his concern did not go unnoticed. It’s funny, you don’t notice when a store has sub-​par customer service until you are reminded of effective good customer service can really be.

This has always been my favorite Urban Outfitters no matter how many new stores keep opening all over the place. I have fond memories of decorating my first apartment in college with knick-​knackery and eclectic tchotchkes from that specific portion of this store. I have fond memories of buying a few books from the book portion of this store to take centre-​stage on the coffee table as the essential coffeetablebook-​like substitute.
I just don’t get the clothes — me and my Armani tie avoided that portion of the store entirely yesterday.
Employees over the years have always been good and friendly. Helpful if help is required, otherwise they generally let you go about your business.
Plus its a short ten foot walk to Trinity Hall and Margarita Ranch. Which is useful in case you get a little thirsty from all that shopping. I know I did.
