Urban Outfitters

one of the salesman at the cashier is just so rude, I dont know how the company still lets HIM work there. Fall 2012, I went into the store to shop and wanted to ask a question, since there were shelves lined up with space in the middle, I thought that in between each space was a separate line to your own cashier (like in an ordinary h&m store) but apparently it wasn’t and I cut the line with one person in queue just to ask a question (my bad). Instead of telling me to walk around to enter the line he instead was talking shit about me to the other customer that was previously in line.
Winter 2014, My girlfriend wanted to return an item she had bought a while ago, unused and with a receipt. we got a different person and they gave us store credit. Meanwhile the same guy was also standing around the cashier and made a «pfffftt» sound and shook his head. If you cant be service minded in a job that you have to interact with customers, I suggest you find a different one.
I live close to the evanston branch and my wardrobe is 70% from UO. Now I just get my UO clothes from the lincoln park branch or online.

Staff are incredibly rude, waited in line for 15 minutes, and there were two people in front of me. When I was next up one of the awful workers told me the line forms over that way. I look over and there now were five or six people who were not there when I first got in line. I mentioned that there were previously two people in front of me where I was standing, and nobody where the line was apparently supposed to be. They served them, and I was next. The exceptionally rude one started throwing a fit and acting as if I had insulted his entire way of thinking. The guy that did ring me up wasn’t much better.
I will not be back until someone knocks the chips off their collective shoulders.

What do you expect. Obviously there won’t be an extensive selection here in Evanston. Also, Sales and clearance? Forget it. They are definitely keeping their prices high for students who do not have time to venture into the city but just needs to grab something fast.
For such a large store, two stories, you think they’d put a little more in here. This seems more like a hangout spot than coming here to buy clothes. They set up a wifi station by the entrance of the store. Not sure why. Maybe just to make people download their app. I don’t see who would want to bring their computer in and study or do anything here.
The only reason this is a 3 star review and not 2 is because the second floor has an amazing view into the city. But I guess so does barnes and noble a couple blocks up.

This Urban Outfitters has huge and has a great variety of clothing and accessories. I generally come here for greeting cards, the ones they have are absolutely hilarious. I wish they had more cards, but the cards are frequently on sale and are reasonably priced.

There isn’t much I can buy from this store besides the books, records, sunglasses, hat and gadgets.
I think you get the point… lol If you are not super model thin the clothes won’t really fit you but I enjoyed walking around the store checking out there clearance racks from clothes to gadgets.
The staff seemed friendly and one young lady smiled the entire time we were there.
The ambiance is more geared toward the young crowd. Although, I won’t be a frequent customer of this place I was glad I went in and got a chance to experience this cool hip store (I think I’m showing my age) lol
I have to also say that this place is pretty pricey unless you get lucky to see something on the clearance racks or tables.
The clothes are also more trendy so for me the price point and the way fashion changes it wouldn’t be worth it to pay full price even if I could fit the clothes.
All in All this is a clean, friendly and unique store!
Enjoy!

This is a store for teenie bopper and hipsters but still fun to go and look around in. They have books and pretty cool antique toys.

Winter Sale going on now
Up to 70 percent off!
I had walked past Urban Outfitters many times and I would stop to
look in the windows because this store always has/​had the greatest visual
displays, but yet I always seemed to just look through the window without
going in.
But this past Saturday I finally bit the bullet and walked in, and was I happy
I did!
This store is a great combination of eclectic /​novelty type items and it also
has some really great looking clothing, comfy looking sweaters, shirts, jeans
and such like items.
The novelty type items are at the front of the store as you enter, and the clothing
is more towards the middle/​back of the store, and they have a nice assortment
of clothing available for both men and women, nice casual stuff, but I was
looking some of it over and the quality looks/​looked top notch!
Now, honestly, what drew me into the store on Saturday was a Grumpy Cat
Snowglobe that I saw in the window, and since I identify with Grumpy Cat
even on my good days I had to buy this snowglobe!
And it was worth every penny of the $ 16.00 I spent for it, Thank You very much!
I also really wanted the Gund Stuffed Grumpy Cat but it was $ 24.00, and it
was so cute, I loved it but didn’t love it enough to shell out another $ 24.00 for it!
Oh who am I kidding? I’ll be back real soon to buy that sucker…
Love all the novelty type items in the store, lots of drinking games, pint glasses with
witty sayings, lots of flasks.
Lots of great books, there is one that I definitely will be back for because sometimes
Bugonia and Trouble give me dirty looks.
Name of book. «How to tell if your cat is plotting to kill you».
Okay, I will seriously end this now by saying I Love Urban Outfitters, truly I do!
It’s such a great, fun store.
So, if you are in Downtown Evanston make it a point to stop in here.
Because I’m sure glad I did…

This is a fun store to browse in. Right when you walk in, they have a great collection of funny books and items that are good for gifting. Then, the first floor has men’s items and some womens, and upstairs are the fitting rooms, women’s, home furnishing, and clearance. They have an amazing sale section. It’s always packed with a variety of stuff, and they frequently have additional % off sales. If they have an additional 50% off sale, you should definitely check it out. I’ve gotten toms for 15, dresses for 10, and shirts and sweaters for 5. This is also the only store in the chicago area that sells home furnishings. They have furniture, bedding, pillows, decorations, you name it!
Staff is generally friendly. The fittong room line is never too long, and they usually let you take in as many items as you want. Nice!
Overall, this is a good place to shop if you’re petite or if you really like trendy stuff.

For whatever reason, the style of clothing UO carries doesn’t look too good on me, but they have a decent selection and it’s always fun to browse.
Go upstairs to the back corner for the clearance items. Sometimes they’ll have an additional 50% off and that means you’re paying a tiny fraction of the original price. Also love browsing the eclectic items at the front of the store… from quirky books to creative and bizarre items.

I like how unexpectedly big this Urban is and how the staff leave you alone to just kind of do your own thing. I’ve gotten some pretty good deals here — I come here to buy cute books for my boyfriend’s care packages or to check out their sales section. I picked up some $ 15 peep toes and $ 10 oxfords down from $ 60 and $ 50 the other day, which was pretty nice. It’s worth returning to now and then.

I really don’t like this UO — I just think the selection is really bad, and the sale selection isn’t usually that great, and still pretty pricy, even with fairly regular extra 50% off sales.
HOWEVER. If you’re looking for nail polish, they frequently have them on sale for $ 0.99 (sometimes with the extra 50% off). Also, they’re really great about taking returns — I order stuff online at UO all the time and return anything that doesn’t fit to the store!
I have also gotten some of the best deals of my life at this location, and that’s the reason that I pop in whenever I get the chance. About a month ago, I found cut-​out booties originally priced $ 350 for $ 10. Obviously snatched those up immediately.

EXPENSIVE!
Except for the $ 10 pair of sunglasses I got. But, the t-​shirts I was looking at were all $ 30 and up. Everything in there is pricey. Cool, but pricey.
Staff is pleasant, and it’s a neat store to browse, but I don’t see purchasing too much clothing here.

First, I love this location. It is always plentiful and organized, so it’s easy to shop at. Maybe I come on odd days and times when I shop here (like around noon on a weekday), but then again, I like to avoid the crowds.
Second, the employees are friendly and helpful. Just today, I initially went in to try on a pair of jeans that I found on the UO website. Luckily they had the color AND size I was looking for. And they fit! Unfortunately the store price was $ 58 which wasn’t the same as the online price at $ 29.99. The guy working the fitting rooms upstairs asked if all worked out after I tried on the jeans. I explained the price difference and showed him on my phone. He double checked the number and all was good. I was able to purchase my lovely mint green BDG jeans at the online price without the hassle of ordering and waiting for them to arrive in the mail!
And to give props to the guy working the register — he was also very cordial and nice too. Today was a good day.

This Urban Outfitters has a great selection of women’s clothes, but if you’re not shopping in the sales rack, almost everything else is way overpriced for the quality of their products. A lot of their clothes are made from very cheap fabrics. Instead of spending so much money for a shirt, you should just buy it from Forever 21 and stores of the like who carry the same product quality at much lower prices.
On the upside, like all other UOs I enjoy their selection of novelty products ranging from hilarious books to unique shot glasses. The staff at this store is very friendly and not rude at all. I also like that they have a section of TOMS, and sometimes those go on sale too for $ 30-​$ 40 which is not bad at all.
Overall, this store gets a three star rating because I mainly go in to browse, and I usually leave empty-​handed because I can’t find things in certain sizes, or that some of their stuff is too expensive. This UO doesn’t get a horrible rating because the staff is friendly and helpful, and because they have a nice large sales section.

This is the second most fabulous UO, and street parking is much easier than in the city. The one thing I do NOT like about it, is that they never have Larges (for their tee’s which they usually put on sale 2 for 28) in stock. There was one time a staff member went out of her way to spend 15ish minutes looking for a large in the back (which they normally don’t have extra stock in the back I’ve been told) and found one for me. I was lucky to find a tee I was looking for at another UO days later.
I’ve bought bags from this UO before as well. Three in fact. One backpack and two purses. I must say that within a month or two all of these bags had some problem, or broke. I have safety pins on a leather hobo that I’ve been using after having stuck it in the closet because I was so bummed about it breaking. I’m not sure if it’s the stock at this location, or they tend to carry bags as a chain that are just crappily made, but I would not recommend purchasing bags from here. Like a lot of things at UO, they’re a tad overpriced, and for the quality, it’s not worth the pain of a broken item. I don’t carry a lot of things in any of my bags, for reference, which attests to the strength of the straps being so weak. Zippers have busted as well.
They normally have a great sale selection, but have recently downsized in that department.
Their jewelry selection is more extensive than the other 3 UO’s I’ve visited, but at least in store, there’s not much offered for sensitive ears if you’re looking for earrings. I also bought a cloth and metal necklace that was marked down about 90% once, and within a month it broke on me. Had I spent more than $ 10 dollars on it I would have been devastated. I really liked that necklace and it’s still a bummer.
Overall, it’s a great store with helpful staff that I don’t feel anxious talking to, and pretty good selection. I would say in this store that the female sections dominate the male one, in size as well as variety. However, if I were a man I would still come shopping here.

I like this UO. The sales section is pretty big relative to the UO at other locations — It takes up an entire section on the second floor, and there’s usually a few sales racks at the top of the staircase too. They have days when there’s an additional discount off the sales racks, and those are amazing.
Alas it’s still just too expensive for me – I’m never inclined to purchase anything here for full price, especially because the quality is not any better than F21, so half the time I just browse for five minutes and leave empty handed.

I’ve never liked Urban Outfitters — the quality of the clothing is mediocre, particularly for the prices you pay. I feel the same way about American Apparel. And those books? You can get them at Borders across the street for 33% off if you’re on the free rewards program, or probably on
for $ 5.
Simply put, skip this place and save your money — it’s better spent at the Asinamali boutique or the really trendy Crossroads secondhand store, both of which are a few blocks down on Sherman Ave.

OMG!
I remember very well when Urban opend… i think i was thirteen!
anyway…It really annoys me when ppl. are so agianst Urban. Let’s face it, if looking edgy and shit is in, and younger ppl. want to emulate that then so be it. They have the money to dress anyway or style they want… it is Evanston and what not. So lay off, sorry that your older and you aren’t cool anymore and it irrates you to see younger unlegit teens shopping there, i feel the same way, but who gives a fuck? Let them dress how they wish, you can’t judge a store soley based on who goes there, if you like what they have to offer who gives a shit if lame teens are in there, or your typical suburban.
And i freaking LOVE the music there, very tweak.

Man, remember when Urban Outfitters was cool for real? They had this dark, almost punk look to the inside of the store, and they actually sold vintage clothes along with the new stuff (omg, am i dating myself here or what).
Now, everything seems to be extremely formulaic and designed very carefully to maximize profits. This is why I believe the clothing and accessories are always heaped and piled on the display mannequins. On their own, the stuff isn’t all that spectacular, which is why you must buy the whole «look». And bingo, that $ 20 tee is now up to a $ 350 «outfit».
It’s a damn shame really. Now there will be this whole generation of people that think this store is so hip and edgy, when in fact they will end up looking just like everyone else.

Men’s trendy, logo and 80’s t-​shirts. Slacks, sweaters, etc.
They also have a lot of off-​the-​wall items for adding some spice to your home décor. And cool books on bizarre topics for your coffee table or deftly left at an angle on your bookshelf. If you need flair, this is the place to get some.
This store is better stocked and displayed than the Clark St. location in Chicago. Fun to browse with friends.
