Metropark

As mentioned in the previous reviews, the staff is really into up selling. I sure hope they get a commission out of it, at the very least! But aside from the mild sales pressure, I did manage to find a few good gifts here today during my lunch break. They have a large selection of grey and black basics for girls and guys, which work with just about anything. I may swing by next time to shop for myself. The sales rack with an extra 30% off the lowest marked price is your best bet.

Really nice selection of jeans, the tops and other clothes aren’t really my style, but if they were, the selection here would make me happy.
The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. He must have spent an hour helping me and another sales associate pulled a couple pairs of jeans she thought I might like. He must’ve pulled at least 20 pairs of jeans for me, I tried on about 10. He was very helpful, honest, and friendly.
I’d recommend Metropark for anyone looking for club clothes or designer jeans.

i have to say — metropark carries a LOT of cool jeans and they also have really nice, helpful sales associates. i would buy my jeans in here simply because they lack the unfriendly attitude that you get once in a while at the other lincoln park stores.
most of their tops and accessories aren’t my style (a little edgy, rocker-​chic) — so i say if you’re on the hunt for a new pair of awesome jeans, stop in here.

I really like this store. I’ve bought primarily tops from here, actually one of them– which has become one of my favorites, I’m wearing in one of my pics in my profile. They happen to carry designer labels, which isn’t what I’m actively after but if you’re a slave to the edgier labels out there right now, I think you’d really like it here. The staff here is laid back, leaves you alone but helps you when you need it. I glanced over at the sale section and it was all bleh. No wonder it’s on sale. I have better luck finding things I like that are regular priced here. Pricey, yes but worth it if you’re into it. omg. I’m so useful.

Metropark carries Mek jeans, which is my absolute favorite brand. They are less than $ 200 and fit perfectly. Other than Mek, I think Metropark has a decent selection (True Religion, Rock&Republic etc)… the only thing I don’t like is their top selection… I think it doesn’t really match their denim selection… so I go here just for jeans.

If I were my friend who I came in here with, I would probably give this place 5 stars. Her style is eclectic – she’ll wear a vintage boho top from the 70’s and then a studded skull sweatshirt the next. She loooooved this place. I’m admittedly way more boring in the clothing department. I like my solids, my stripes, my little accent pieces. I don’t like making too much of an unspoken statement (I’m working on it, ok? Sheesh). So most things with motorcycle sparkle make me gag. Enter Metropark.
The place is teeming with Ed Hardy, Betsey Johnson, stuff I can’t bring myself to think looks good on me. However, being someone who wears a lot of black and gray (I’m making a statement… errr…) there were a lot of basic pieces that struck my fancy. However, nothing was right about almost every single one that I tried on. Even the sweater dress and toggle sweatshirt that I felt pressured to buy by the salesgirls that seriously waited outside my friend’s and my dressing room. Eeeeek!
At least the stuff I picked was fairly cheap. I doubt I’ll come back, and I kind of regretted the purchase when I made it (I’m young, fabulous and broke) but hey. If you’ve got the whole LA style thing going on, this place might be more your speed.

I just put on the shirt i bought form Metro Park almost a month ago, the shirt was Great until 5 minutes ago when i saw this huuuuge oil stain on it. Pretty much sucks for me. The store is way to limited on brands, I would have liked to see more out of the ordinary brands that are not that common in the midwest. Beware of the staff there is hardcore on Upselling! remember to just say NO!

Love this store! I I found a pair of Rock & Republic jeans here that I’ve been searching for since foreeeever. The things they carry here are very au courant with the trends, but unique enough so that you won’t see anyone else in that top/​dress/​etc. They have a great selection of fun dresses to choose from, and the staff is very helpful. The ONE semi-​bad thing I have to say is that they keep a lot of amusing novelty items by the register that silently persuade my 10-​year old mind to go on an impulse buying binge.

This store is very edgy and trendy, and it’s the reason for drawing me in. They carry lots of brand name items here varying from True Religion, Rock & Republic, Harajuku, Frankie B’s, and much more. The staff is pretty laid back here. The sales associate who was helping me wasn’t very good though. He did try to help me find my size, and set me up with a fitting room and came by to ask me about it but told me he couldn’t find any other bigger sizes. So, I had to get out and find it myself. The Rock and Republic jeans was one size too big, but he tried to convince me that it was because of the sensor and that I could buy it and return it if it didn’t fit. I felt I was being pushed a bit. They have great sales deals here. I will come back again to check them out.

There’s a MetroPark in Los Angeles and now there’s one in Chicago! I just bought the loveliest dress (on the sale rack) for $ 35! Very funky, punk rock clothes and accessories for both boys and girls. Betsey Johnson, Lucky 13, just to name a few of the brands they carry.
The staff was trying to be nice, but when it was my turn after waiting for a fitting room for 5 minutes they let some other girl in that just claimed she needed to go in! Needless to say, I left only purchasing my dress, jerks!

This store is awesome! The clothes are a funky, city-​rocker style. Everything is interesting and hip. They have both men and women’s clothing, accessories, and jewelry. The prices range from affordable ($ 30 long-​sleeve t’s) to pricey ($ 98 sweatshirts), but the selection is so unusual it is worth the extra money.
The sales staff is also extremely helpful. One of the salesmen came over to free up some of the clothing in my arms and start a fitting room for me. As I shopped, he was always right there to grab the next thing of interest and add it to the fitting room. Although, I did find it weird that no one was around to help while I was actually trying on the clothes and needed different sizes… oh well… it’s still worth it.
