^ You're lucky you liked their sunglasses! None of them looked right on me.

oh..and I thought I'd mention how much I hate their stores, though! I was in a crowded one with a lot of young girls and their mothers and young boyfriends, etc. I was in the dressing room trying on something, and this really misbehaved boy singing and yelling just walked through the curtain, starting dancing around, and I was half-naked. His mother didn't really do anything, didn't apologize to me..I just felt really disgusted, everyone was pushing me throughout the store as well, & it was very noisy. The girls who worked there were also young, and rather rude. Has anyone else had a similar experience in the store?

I actually work at Forever 21 as a visual merchandiser. A lot of the girls I work with are not rude but then, of course, there are some that are rude (and shouldn't be working there haha)


There are sooo many rude customers too ya know

Just don't go there on the weekend because that's when it's really crazy. Thats why the visual team works in the morning on weekdays when it's not as busy at all.

^ yes there are PLENTY of rude customers. I work at Banana Republic and feel the pain of jerks who think it's cool to act like I'm stupid simply because I love working in retail. Pretty much all of the girls who work at the F21 at my mall are all nice.

 

[jadedskies]

Ok, I've worked retail before, so I completely understand. Sorry.

eek, I found one of the corset dresses in size XS from "twelve by twelve" and am super excited to wear it! It was only $26.

Does anyone know if their underwear panties run true to size? From the sizing chart it says I would probably be a medium (27 inch waist) but I tend to wear Smalls for underwear (La Senza and Victoria's Secret) and my clothes in general run in the 3/4 - 5/6 category-- never more.

I'd appreciate the help!

I don't know about their panties but their bras definitely do not. They're a lot smaller than said size. Maybe it's the same for panties?

They've been getting a lot of cute stuff lately. I snagged a maxi dress and another short gray tube top dress. Together they were both under $60 and really cute and comfy.

I like Forever21. As a college student, it's cheap to buy tops and basic things there, like a dress shirt. I've never tried there pants because it seems like they only have skinny jeans or wide legs styles, but I have several shirts and some underwear from there. I like how a lot of their shirts in fitted in at the waist. They actually look good on me. I bought a pair of jean shorts their for $22 and they don't even have the gap in the back, which is usually a problem for me.

F21 are extremely hit and miss for me. But I gonna admit, their prices are attractive, and I love picking up random tees and accessories from there.

dec 25th, their undies run small in my experience.

 

[livingsign]

^ I agree, I think the undies run a little small.

As for me I love F21! I'm a broke college student, and their basics are really cute and cheap.

[whatisasofe]

I'm on the website and there is soooo much cute stuff this time around! Definitely hit or miss.

 

[nyc_art_style]

regardless of all their ridiculous rip offs, forever21 has had some nice bags and wallets lately.

I like these cardigans... they seem to be the only decent, "normal" ones I can find especially at an affordable price!

^Wish this came in other colors besides teal...

Has anyone seen them in stores yet? I'm planning to check them out to see if they are this weekend, but if they're not there I might just order them online, which I really don't want to do.

I was there last week and saw the second one, in multiple colors. I just didn't buy it because it didn't have pockets. I have the first one in grey, but I ordered it online a few weeks ago. It's really comfortable though.

 

[chaneladdict]

reminds me of AA a bit. I was in there recently and noticed that prices had gone up. It didn't seem so reasonable to me, but I guess everyone's prices are going up!

Great to know, thank you! Hopefully the other colors in the first cardigan were just sold out online or something so there's a chance there might be a chance there's other color options in store.

Do they have any dresses that aren't maxi, but sit over the middle of the thigh? lol. I would love some cheap & comfortable dresses for summer, but from what I've seen, most of their dresses are quite short...

i read somewhere that the messy, cramped layout of the stores is part of the chain's philosophy. to make it more of a bazaar-type atmosphere where you have to hunt for treasures.

i did notice that with the new, open-layout store that debuted down the road, I don't enjoy shopping there quite as much.

A convenient philosophy so they don't have to spend payroll having people who clean it up!
