Urban Outfitters

Oh, Urban Outfitters. How you make my wallet cry.
This place has everything you need to look like that girl from Tumblr, or that guy from the PacSun ad. For real. It’s basically all of the clothes you’ve seen on the internet, in store. The catch? It’s like $ 50 for a sock.
I love everything here — the clothes, the décor, the sale rack, etc. It’s a great place to go if you have some extra cash to spend. If not, don’t torture yourself.

I’m writing this review out of sheer disappointment. I’ve been researching colors, brand and textures in effort to find the perfect duvet cover and accessories for my soon-​to-​be revamped bedroom. I finally found the perfect look at UO after 4 days of searching. I love Urban and their products are delicious. I received a coupon code to use online only to find that it was no longer valid. I was beyond disappointed. I contact UO and the sale rep told me that there was nothing they could do to help me. If I wanted it, I would need to buy without a code. $ 260 and they cannot afford me the amount to discount. Seriously? UO is not cheap and for many families, it’s a treat to shop there. We save up to buy products there, over other places that are cheaper. Why? Brand loyalty and product satisfaction. But when customer service doesn’t back the customer, it stings. I’m really disappointed. I’m sharing my disappointment here for starters.

I come here very often, so I think its finally time to write a review. I always get welcomed, always get help when needed and I enjoy almost all the employees. For a long time every store I walked into my purse would beep. One day I walked into urban and my purse went off I talked to one of the employees and he told me dont worry about it. After shopping and buying my things as I was leaving my purse beeped again. (Embarrassing) the same guy that told me not to worry about it smiled and help me figure out why the hell my purse would make the alarms go off. He patiently took each item out of my purse and tested them all. Finally found this pack of locks I bought a week ago still had one of those censor things on them. He was so sweet and nice about it and it made my awkward feeling go away .
This one has better stuff then the capitol hill one and the employees there aren’t the best.

I love UO! I mean hello they have so many random items, its a great place to spend sometime just looking around!
They have great unique house hold items and other great gift ideas. I enjoy the jewelry and makeup section.
I have noticed their clothes are either hit or miss. Sometimes being way to hipster to be functional or every day wear. Also seem a bit pricey for the quality. But they do have a good clearance section, if you take the time to look.
Staff has always been helpful.

I heart urban outfitters :) I always find something on the sale racks. Without walls athletic line is awesomeness. Yoga pants, sports bras, leotards, running shorts… you name it. Without walls brand designs it. Great fit. Quality material. Unique, one-​of-​a-​kind prints. Channel your inner spirit and express yourself through the Without walls line. Even scored some running hats for only $ 5! How can you go wrong?!

I’ve been to UO Seattle many times, but rarely buy anything. I can never find things that fit right for my petite body type. But that doesn’t stop me from perusing.
However, now that they have a Without Walls section, dedicated to active lifestyles, I will be here more often! I found some cute shorts and leggings here that I am in love with. Their without walls section is pretty big and carry lots of brands I love (many that I have been IG stalking for a while now and I get to see in real life). Without Walls really bumped up my rating. Otherwise, UO typically seems to me to be very overpriced and not always the greatest quality of clothing. Actually, my favorite undies are from UO and they’ve lasted a long time (handwash vs. machine) and I don’t think they carry them anymore. When I went back they had similar undies, but slightly slightly different cut :(
Friendly, helpful staff. Love their random household products, sunglasses, jewelry and body care products as well.

my wife got me a a few cool t-​shirts from them. i had to exchange them for a different size. i swapped 2 out of 3 of them here.
best. t-​shirts. ever.

This Urban Outfitters is quite large and you can spend some time exploring this store for sure. It is in the heart of the downtown shopping district so don’t be surprised if there are lots of people shopping here.
They have a lot of cute knick knacks here, like Domo stuffed animals, joke books, marijuana/​beer lovers’ items, monkey keychains, creative USB hubs, etc. If you are looking for a gag or cute gift you can come here and hopefully find something cool.
Their clothing is hit or miss. Styles can be crazy or cute — this company caters to young adults (high school/​college kids, mostly). I think most of the regular priced items are kind of expensive given their quality, so unless you need something in an emergency (or you are loaded and money is not an issue, etc.) I would actually go somewhere else for clothing. Now, the sale prices make the clothing much more affordable. But I do have issues with their quality of clothing (not the best), so I usually have to dig awhile before I find clothes that are the right price and right quality.

I’m shocked you need to read a review to figure out whether you’ll like this place (it’s a chain… seen one, seen ‘em all), but lucky for you I’ve made this handy flow-​chart:
I am a hipster…
– no way man.
Yes you are, get over yourself. Buy their clothes — just say you got them at a thrift store!
– yeah!
Well, you’re not hip, but you probably think you will be if you shop here. And who knows… you might be right! Go for it.
– what’s a hipster?
Go home grandma. You’re gonna freak out if you check the price tags or skirt lengths.

Massive store.
The fitting rooms are downstairs, and are plentiful, well compared to the sole UO in Vancouver. Shoe section was a bit messy but I managed to find a pretty pair of flats. I personally find much of their clothing is not worth it, at all, but if you check the sale section you can find some great items – you need time to look though!
But it’s very easy to spend more time than you really need in here.

The clothes here are overall shitty quality & extremely overpriced. I hate the women’s clothes, they’re all cheap and tacky looking. However… I go here for the t-​shirts. The men’s section has many douchey graphic t’s, but some gems can be found in them. I have a NASA shirt from there, and have my eye on a t-​shirt printed with a glacier. They’re quite good quality. The rest of the store sucks.

2.5 Stars
Urban Outfitters has the maddening tendency to take something cute and ruin it with something ridiculous.
Sometimes the ridiculous feature is a weird back cutout in an otherwise normal sundress. Or a shirt that is wider than it is long. Many times the price is just plain out of whack — $ 100 for a 100% polyester dress, for example.
As I am too old and not hipster enough to be their target demographic it’s no surprise I find most of the clothes a little ridiculous. I should be shopping next door at Anthropologie (same company, catered to the slightly older and more sophisticated woman) but those prices are even more jaw droppingingly, laughably absurd. Decent prices can be found if you are willing to fight through the sales racks (at either store). It’s been a few years since I’ve purchased a piece of clothing at UO since I am usually turned off by the price, quality, or some weird design feature.
I mostly come to UO for gifts since the books, toys, décor and housewares selection is hard to beat. I should start calling it Urban Gifters.

Very average UO. Prefer the UO in Evanston (north Chicago) and Vegas. Uninspired selection and forgettable merchandising, felt like shopping in a deserted warehouse basement.

Totally a great store. Out of the UOs I’ve been to across the country this one seems to be pretty large. I tend to frequent the one a few blocks from my house but when I’m downtown I always make it a point to stop in here. As always, some of the clothes are hit or miss but there are some items I’ve had in my closet for years.
I love the cheap shoes, I love the funky home accessories and the winter sales and trinkets during the holiday season make for awesome gifts. Definitely an OK store… ESPECIALLY if you’re in your 20s. Talk about hipster heaven!

heard about the place by word of mouth
check them out on line, then I finely went in since I was in Seattle
I am not a fan. this is just like an old navy store but without the manikins .
Like I said not a fan .
there was not alot of clothing or home décor in the place
to me it seemed like a lot of open space.

This downtown UO is probably my favorite UO in Seattle. This store is huge and has an awesome sale section. They’ve also got nifty gadgets, books, appliances, and accessories.
There’s 2.5 levels of awesomeness:
The street level is mostly womens, accessories, and knick knacks. The intermediate level leading to the lower level has some men’s shirts and random items. Downstairs there’s men’s, women’s sale, men’s shoes, women’s shoes, and mod apartment flare.
The books, knick knacks, sale, and housewares are definitely worth checking out. In my days at the dorm, UO was my #1 dorm-​décor hotspot. UO carries a bunch of trendy and hipster décor and novelties that are pretty cool and unique. They’ve got cool shower curtains, toothbrush holders, kitchen appliances (cool ones, I might add), and other unpractical but neat products. In the sale racks, you’re bound to find a bunch of «urban» and trendy shirts with suggestive prints and funny sayings. I love their graphic tees; although, the trend has changed a bit over the years…
The next time I’m in WA, I will certainly pop in to this UO more than a few times.

At least there IS an Urban Outfitters downtown! But, I’m not a huge fan of this location.
Things have definitely changed about Urban Outfitters since just a few years ago. I used to love all their t-​shirts, trendy dresses and menswear, but everything’s a bit different now – probably due to this new generation coming in and me only getting older. LOL
I do love shopping in their Home-​wear and books because I can always find something!

Urban Outfitters is essentially a hipster version of Gap. The concept is a bit pretentious, but it also seems like just a retailer creating a concept that appeals to a specific audience, like Abercrombie & Fitch does.
There are four locations in the area with the Downtown Seattle location in my opinion to be the best of them. Two floors of shopping, with the women’s section on top and the men’s and housewares on the lower level.
Pricing is fairly moderate, though some items seem overpriced for the quality. They do carry a number of good brands like Levis here, but most I am not all that familiar with. They also seem to carry a decent selection of novelty shirts, though I do not know what makes these «urban».
On occasion, the sales racks have some good deals. Though it feels like shopping at a thrift store since the section is sometimes a mess and the arrangement of the racks is random as opposed to Macy’s file them by size method.
I have to say that I do like Urban Outfitters. They do carry trendy, city-​dweller apparel which helps to diversify my wardrobe. But it is one of those places that I only check out on occasion. It seems overpriced most of the time.

This is your standard Urban Outfitters. Nothing makes it stand out from any other I’ve been to, but I always do stop in whenever I’m shopping downtown.
Each time I step foot, I always think the same things:
— Cute clothes, but quality isn’t great
— I wish everything was $ 20 cheaper
— Most of the apparel look cuter on the rack than on me
I do enjoy looking through the clearance/​on-​sale items though. I usually find cute patterned tights for $ 5. :-)

UO is a hit or miss for me sometimes. Last time I went I bought two dresses, that definitely was a HIT. I wanted to buy more but of course, my wallet could not afford all those $ 70 dollar sundresses. Big sigh. But this store is so cute because they have a variety of accessories and clothing items. Their sale rack is a bit of a mess but most are anyway. I usually don’t bother going through them since I am lazy and they never have my sizes.
It’s stressful because we get UO’s catalog in the mail… but we can never afford the stuff we want. So depressing.
