Forever 21

Geoff Gander · Jun 15, 2011

Hi all,

Forever 21 is coming to town (August/Sept, Rideau Centre), and from what I've learned it's basically a US-based competitor to H&M. IYO, will it be worth visiting?

I could be wrong, but isn't it all girl's clothes?

Mr.K · Jun 15, 2011

All the US stores I ahve seen are only for the women and never had mens clothing.

Geoff Gander · Jun 15, 2011

OK - thanks. The article I read said they would be carrying some men's clothing in their 2-floor store.

The one around these parts does have a tiny "men's" department. The only time I've entered the store, which was about 2+ years ago, it catered to the late teens early 20s young hipster/ faddish guys, and the stuff was badly cheap and crappy.

^ Fantastic Reddit.

I've been in a couple of forever 21's while shopping with a woman, and I scoped out their men's (or rather boy's) department. Everything was cheap looking and terrible quality. There were a few accessories that seemed decent enough for purchase, and when it came to it was a good value considering they were all less than $20. I picked up a fair isle knit tie for $6. All in all, the store is not worth visiting, but if you're there by chance with a lady, then it might be worth finding something small to pick up.

Thanks for the advice, guys (and the reddit comic strip). I'll give it a miss, then.

Never heard about Forever 21 until a week ago... When a huge ad campaign started around here doing a lot of noise about the new opening of a store in the city.

Though I had imagined, because of the name and pics, that the target market are young brats...

wtf, I have never seen a F21 with mens. Now that is weird. I have been in a couple of them with my girl, but even she wont shop there anymore.

edit. I just txted her that some of them sell mens clothing, and she said "duhhhh". Ok, I am stupid I guess.

Some of their stores do have a mens Department, which usually consists of just a few racks and tables of clothing (maybe 10% floorspace compared to the women's department).

Tried a couple tees and such on and realized that you have to size up in order for things to fit. Overall, not impressed.

And.... my 1k-th post is done in a thread about Forever 21.

I never heard of Forever21 until I saw their huge billboard in NYC's Times Square. I assumed it was a girls only retail store until I went onto their website. The quality is probably worst than H&M as another user said.

Thank you Saturdays for that hilarious comic
