Necessary Clothing

The attitude of the staff is as if you’re bothering them when asking for help. I do not like the whole taking your debit/​credit card and swiping for you because if the cashier swipes too hard and it goes twice we will have a problem, is this a policy ??? I am grown woman I don’t need some cashier swiping for me as if my hand is pinned on backwards.

I did not want to leave a negative feedback to this store as I was a long time customer for the past 10 years. But this one experience really had me on the foot.
I was on the line for the fitting room, and my friend was waiting a few people ahead of me. She was on the line for the past 30 minutes and I got on 10 minutes after her. 1 or 2 woman ahead of my friend had 10 friends in the store shopping and they saw how long the line was, so they decided to skip everyone and join their friends in the front of the line. I usually do not mind if it is 1 or 2 girls. But a horde of girls with 10+ items in hand was not flying with me when I had already waited for 30 minutes and there were other people on line.
I went up to the staff managing the fitting room and told her 10 people just skipped the line because their friends were in the front while everyone else had waited 30+ minutes. The staff said «I am sorry. I do not know what to tell you. I only manage the fitting room and not the line.» I asked her «you are in charge of the fitting room right? So are you telling me maintaining the order of the fitting room including the fitting room line is not part of your responsibility? She said «No. and if you have a problem, you can talk to the manager»
So, I went and talk to the manager. The manager stepped in and fixed the problem. I am not trying to get the girl in trouble, but clearly this girl had no idea what her responsibility entails. I am trying to fix how the fitting room order was managed. It was not fair.

I love this stores clothing SO much! The price & the style is awesome!
The floor workers need a lot more training on how to talk to the customers & just maintain a better attitude at work in general, I guess they had no training…
Another thing that I don’t really like is that you can’t try on bodysuits. I will never buy one if I don’t know if it doesn’t fit well on me & if I can’t try it on I guess I’ll never buy one from this store, so that sucks

I love this place also buying & returning the managers are so sweet to me always. So understanding. Trendy fun clothes & great quality. Love this place everything in it. They also offer discounts with bundle purchases which is great. Love necessary

If I can give 0 stars for customer service I would. I came in today about 30 mins prior to closing time. Inside were still a great amount of customers shopping. I found a pair of jeans and wanted to try it on before I purchased it. Walking towards the fitting room another young lady in front of me wanted to try on 2 items as well. But as soon as we reached the fitting room the owner told us we could not try on anything because they were closing and needed to count the register soon. Granted customers do need to leave if a store is closing, but if we were inside prior to closing already shopping and only had a few items to try on really quick I don’t see why they couldn’t let us do so. They said the store closes at 8:30 pm and it was 8:18 when I wanted to try on my ONE item. Most stores just locks the door and let customers already inside hurry up. But they wanted us out by 8:30. I couldn’t believe it when the owner screamed at the rest of the customers to get out. The owner also argued with the lady about trying on her items. She said «how do you expect me to purchase if I don’t know if it fits». And she claimed he would lose business with his nasty attitude which I agree. His reply was «that’s okay». Nice clothing for a decent price but worse customer service I experienced.

I am changing the rating from the original 1 star to 5 stars because of the great follow up. Necessary Clothing reached out to me on facebook regarding my experience.
I work in a very trendy hotel and honest mistakes happen all the time, but how a situation is handled determines says a lot about the company.
I would definitely return as a customer.

This store front might have inexpensive items but you get what you pay for… I bought some tote bags online and when I received them. I was disappointed with the quality of the totes; they were cheap looking, sent them back within the 14 day period and they deducted a restocking fee. Won’t ever buy or bother with this place again. You’d probably get better items if you went dumpster diving. A second hand store would also be a better place to shop for clothing that looks and feels luxurious at a real bargain. Terrible customer service and products.

It’s a good store to find inexpensive clothes. The Unilocaler Renee was right even she said you have to help yourself, because the associate won’t. They could use sine more training and enthusiasm. However, on a brighter not I find my birthday dress.

Necessary clothing was amazing! It felt like a candy store. I will say that I gave Necessary Clothing a rating of 4 because the staff needs to make sure that the customers are okay finding everything. Also when I was checking out they just threw the clothes in the bag. Over all though, it was amazing to be in the actual store!

I generally have an okay time visiting the Necessary Clothing stores — there’s so many of them down Broadway, in SoHo and NoHo, and even on Canal Street now, that it doesn’t even matter. The employees don’t really bother me, and I don’t mind that — I like shopping quietly.
I hope I’m writing this review for the right store — it’s the one on Broadway, across from the bigger Necessary Clothing. First of all, is it really «necessary» to have two of the same stores directly across from each other, lol.
Anyway, so I was looking for a particular dress that I had been eyeing for a while in the larger Necessary Clothing, but alas, it didn’t have my size, so hey, I go to the one across the street, and voila! They had my size. *happy camper* I guess it’s good to have multiple stores, just in case one doesn’t have certain sizes in stock…
I make my way to buy this lovely dress, so I wait on line. «Next!» shouts the cashier’s assistant (?). I place my dress down, and the actual cashier tells me my total, and I hand her my credit card. She asks for my ID, blahblah, protocol stuff, I pay. The assistant folds my dress, throws it in a bag, and tosses it on the counter in front of my face, and «Next!» she shouts again.
Definitely not a very friendly environment, and even though I understand that it’s the holidays, but that shouldn’t be any reason for why you treat your customers like cattle. It didn’t make me feel like I would want to come back for future shopping.

The people that work here are rude and unhelpful. They seem to be young and probably just need shopping money lol. This is my 2^nd visit to the store and i basically have to help myself. We walked in right before 8.30 and i saw an outfit on a mannequin. I asked one of the girls where it was and she said she’s not sure.
Her: i think its the last one
Me: Ok could i please try the one on the Mannequin?
Her: I think there’s more over there *points vaguely somewhere*
Me: Where? ok ill just take it off the mannequin myself.
My friend found it before I walked over to the mannequin. I was going to the dressing room and she yelled out the dressing rooms are closed.
Me: oh ok
Her: we’re closed
it was kinda early for a saturday but whatever. I tried it out right outside the dressing rooms over my clothes (lol) purchased with the girl at the counter and left. I understand that i guess she had checked out early for the day so i bet she was pissed to see us. Oh well, i got my banging dress though!

Super fashionable and cheap!
I went there twice in two days in a row and bought 10 items !
Definitely, a must in SoHo, if you can’t afford designer clothes!

I freaking hate this place! I mean, okay, look you can get some pretty inexpensive and flattering looking pieces here, but in reality, the quality is cheap as shit and odds are after two washes it’ll be destroyed. Come to think of it, almost everything I’ve boughten here has ended torn or destroyed somehow. Anyway, what drives me crazy about this place is the that the fitting rooms take FOREVER! You’d think they’d figure out a way to accommodate the large selection and massive amounts of people that walk in, but no, they don’t and it sucks, bc you’ll probably end up standing in live for 30 mins on avg. Now what really drove me up the wall tonight was this. It was raining, right, and you have to leave ur umbrellas at the front. Well me and my friend were leaving and ready to get our umbrellas to go back outside and guess what? some hoodlum tramps stole our pretty pink and red umbrellas. Goes to show you that these are the types of animals that shop at this place. No decency, no class, no MONEY! Get the heck outta here. I’m never coming here again. BYE BYE.

Un bon plan shopping pour les femmes sur Broadway. Si vous n’avez pas beaucoup de temps pour faire la grande avenue la plus connue de Manhattan pour votre shopping, je vous conseille ce magasin! Il faut fouiller pour trouver la perle rare car parfois c’est de mauvais goût mais je vous garanti que vous serez très contente de votre achat. Petits prix assurés !

i didn’t find anything at H&M, forever21. the quality of the clothes at those places is not-​so good. major hit or miss.
NYC is an expensive city. that’s why i LOVE necessary objects.
you can find affordable clothing, today’s fashions while not breaking the bank. many cute dresses for under $ 30. if you need a top for a night out, their selection is pretty good.
necessary objects is a definite gem!
