Cheap
I've been shopping at Forever 21 since high school. It's a decent fast-fashion store. I would definitely not recommend buying basics/staples here; just opt for the trendy pieces that you probably don't want to invest a lot of money in, just in case trend dies. They have clothes for literally every person's sense of style, so you really can't go wrong. Just be warned that these clothes are VERY low quality; they aren't meant to last you a long time, and that's reflected in the low price-point.
love-hate relationship
Forever 21 is always a hit or miss for me. I've really seen the company grow and the prices fluctuate as well. A majority of my clothing is from Forever21, however I will say that shopping in the stores are extremely hectic. At least in the malls in my are.As far as the quality of the clothing goes, I will say it's a hit or miss. I don't think the quality of the clothing is A+, however, I think it's worth the price most of the time. It's a fairly affordable store with some exceptions and they have a good variety of clothing. Their jewelry is a little on the cheap side, but $3 for earrings and necklaces, you can't expect much from the quality with that price.
Cheap Clothes
It's a little overwhelming at times but Forever 21 is one of my favourite stores. They have really cheap basics and sometimes there are some really good finds. In the summer they have really cute dresses.
good stuff sometimes
once in a while i will walk into a forever 21 and catch great clothing for an awesome price. it also has really pretty and cute merchandise for decent prices even though most things i find over priced.
This is a youth store, not adult
As I've grown over the years my opinion of Forever21 has changed a lot. I used to LOVE the store and brand but have grown critical of where I shop.
What I like: The clothes are cute, trendy, there's always something new, and the prices are very low especially on sale items. There's accessories, shoes, and bags, so you can get your outfit from head to toe in once place.
What I don't like: Most of the time, what the display mannequin is wearing is already sold out or on another floor in the store and you won't find it without assistance. I've never met one friendly staff person in any of the stores that I have visited. Whether it's New York or Ottawa, they will try to run you over with the clothing rack. The clothing itself is meant to be bought often, meaning a lot of it is tossed out after one season and tons of waste is created. This issue is known as "fast fashion". They company has also gone under fire multiple times for stealing the designs of other artists and small businesses.
And lastly, I call this a "youth" store, and not an adult store because of the sizing. The difference between S-M-L is maybe half an inch to an inch. I'm 5'7 and I weigh about 100lbs with clothes and shoes on. I'm unfortunately underweight and a size 0. I'm damn thin and it's visible. In this store, I usually buy S, but I will often also fit into an M. A size 0. In a size medium. Are you as confused as I am? I always thought medium meant average, and I'm pretty sure an average woman doesn't have the body of a 12 year old boy. I feel like this is giving a lot of woman a false idea that they are larger than they are and forces them to shop the "plus" size section of the store. This is concerning as I feel like it can cause self-esteem issues from giving someone a false idea about their size. I joke with my friends that I look like a 13 year old, and that's how you should treat the sizing in this store, as if it was for pre-teens.

Forever 21 has a great selection of clothing and their clearance sections are amazing, they also have great prices and comfortable seasonal clothing. Recommend
Going into the physical store gives me nightmares
I hate going into this store because it is uber chaotic, you can never find what you're looking for. The prices are great but the sizes run very small. It's definitely not the first place I will go to shop
I like popping in this store mostly for accessories. It has amazing racks of clothing at great prices but the quality sometimes lacks. They do have unreal sales, I bought a top for 4.99 amazing. The store is massive and sometimes disorganized. I shop online often, free ship over 50$
Love their stores !
So much merchandise in so many colors, sizes and styles
You can find a variety of items of all different monetary value
only downside is that the fitting rooms are ALWAYS full :(
I am always blown away by the amount of merchanise they have in store and have found myself slightly overwhelmed at times. Yes a great selection but its hard to find what you're looking for with so many racks of clothes. I enjoy my online experience much more.
