Theory

Very rude saleswoman, unbelievable, maybe she thinks I’m a tourist so it doesn’t matter. I live in Boston and come by often, she really stands out as a jerk. Hard to believe Theory hires her, or actually anyone will hire to deal with customers.

Wow, Stephanie is a STAR sales associate. I came here in August 2014 with my sister on the way back from Cape Cod, and Stephanie was nice enough to outfit her in over 1k of clothes and they all looked AMAZING!
I came back myself in October 2014 to hopefully have Stephanie working and was lucky enough for her to be there. Same deal: she put me head to toe in blouses, jackets, dresses, and slacks and I could not be more thankful for her honest, professional opinion. She should be promoted and be director of training for the company as she has the most excellent eye and ability to work with clients.
A+ for Stephanie! Thank you!

This outlet sells the exact same Theory clothes that you would find at their regular Theory stores and high end department stores, only at a discount. They carry their basics here regularly and have end of season items, but there have also been occasions where I’ve noticed that the outlet stocks discounted items that were selling for full price on their website and their regular stores. AAA members currently get an additional 15% off discount on an order of $ 450 or more. Everything about the clothes is very high quality, from the beautiful fabric to the consistent sizing season to season to a fit and cut that makes people look modern and svelte. Especially for someone that despises shopping but loves luxury, it’s a no brainer for me to stop in for a low hassle shopping experience.

Theory makes the best suits for the young, sleek, hip-​pish professional lady working in a business formal environment. The cut of their pants manages to flatter everyone’s behind and make you look a million feet tall. Normally, Theory charges about $ 250 for the pleasure of dressing your lower half but this outlet shop cuts that down to under $ 100.
Unlike many other outlets in Wrentham, Theory’s doesn’t seem to have any clothes that are lower quality ‘made for outlet’ merchandise (e.g., the three diamonds on J Crew outlet labels). It’s the same stuff you’d get at Neiman’s and Nordstrom but maybe was an overstock or return. That doesn’t mean it’s all quilted marigold skirtsuits; you can get basic black and navy suiting pieces year-​round.
The shop itself is well above average niceness for Wrentham and actually feels like a trendy boutique with a clean, minimalist layout and salesgirls who don’t hate you.
Knocking off one star because sizes are hit or miss. Lots of 00 and 0 but it gets iffier in the 6÷8÷10 range. Don’t forget that Theory’s sizes tend to be one up from your ‘normal’ (JCrew, BR, etc) size. Call them before you go to check the inventory in your size.

Oooh, very excited there’s a Theory outlet at Wrentham. And one that actually offers good deals!
I grabbed a top originally priced at $ 150 (I’d consider it, on a good week), marked down to $ 90 (I was thinking about it, despite my sad poor state), which actually, in this warped outlet universe, cost $ 41.25 (I’ll take it, no questions asked!).
One of the few stores that carries clothes I’ve seen in the actual stores, and with friendly sales people who didn’t look at us cross-​eyed.

My bf and I were discussing what items we’d take with us in the event that our apt was burning down, and sadly I would grab my theory wardrobe in one hand and my build-​a-​bear in the other. Whenever at Wrentham I always make a beeline (literally, bf will attest to this as he has been knocked over) for the Theory outlet. The racks of heavenly soft cashmere sweaters, silk dresses, beautifully cut suits… Theory has showed me that business formal doesn’t mean a wardrobe doomed to basic black suits and waiter white button-​ups.
It is incredibly hard to find work apparel in my size and God knows I’ve had to resort to children’s Easter suiting in my younger days, but Theory has saved me with its 00 sizing that fits perfectly in several cuts.
The store is expensive for an outlet ($ 100 and up for pants, $ 150 and up for blazers (though sometimes there’s a rack of em for $ 99), $ 80 and up for tops) but still much cheaper than retail. One qualm I had this time was that a bunch of cotton summer dresses which were on the clearance rack for $ 39 the last few times I visited were suddenly refreshed and sold with all other dresses for three times that price during the Thanksgiving sale. Overall though, still a great store. Sign up for the mailing list to know exactly when the sales are!
