    1 out of 3 of my Holy Grail Stores

    One of the 3 stores in which I purchase clothes from on the regular. Honestly, the best quality. I have tops that I have worn for several years that still look great. Sizing is mostly true to size. I especially love their tops. Jeans are super comfortable as well. They always have sales on, so it is super easy to find something for a decent price. Have shopped online and in store in the past. Both are reputable, and great, with many options! Ladies in store are really helpful with giving recommendations.

    Specialty sizes, inviting decor. great quality

    While I agree with others that it can be intimidating to have sales associates immediately in your face upon entrance, I usually order online anyway because their specialty sizes are hard to find in-store. However, I do enjoy the in-store experience too; the decor is very inviting with the low lighting and comfortable furniture, and their change rooms are always amble and equipped with private mirrors.
    Since this store began carrying XXS, it has quickly became one of my favorites. The quality has never disappointed me, the sales discounts can be total steals, and their website offers free shipping over a reasonable threshold or free shipping to a store.

    Garage is Back!

    I haven't shopped at Garage clothing in quite a few years. They used to be my top choice for comfy clothing but the quality seemed to have gone down and I switched to Aritizia.

    BUT I have to ssay they are back! if you haven't checked out one in a while I highly recommend it!

    First thing I've noticed they've now opened their sizing to XL and XXS so if previously you couldn't wear them there is a bit more of a range. I am generally a L in most stores (i'm about a 12 in pants if that helps) and L fits me great in everything I bought. SO I would say most of their clothing runs pretty true to size.

    The second thing I loved is a lot of their newer leggings have the PERFECT waistband. The thicker one goes up close to your natural waist with thin elastic that isn't squeezing you to death. They also are thick enough you can't see through them and are nicely sewn with reinforced stitch. My thunder thighs are thanking them. They have many styles my favs were the ones with the lace up on the side and the velvet ones (great for winter ad 90s vibes).

    Finally, the absolute best part of this is how cheap it is! Got 4 pairs of leggings and a sweater for about 70 dollars before taxes! They had a sale buy 1 leggings get the second 50% off and then they also gave me an additional 10% for signing up on their app! (i think there is a deal online similar too)

    Great deals and I will definitely be back for more in the future!

    I have loved garage since my younger teen years and now probably more than ever. They always stay on top of trends and have some of the best crop tops and flannel shirts available at that price point.
    Carlingwood location has a great staff too, very helpful!

    I don't live in Ottawa, but the Garage store I go to is amazing! The service is great, whenever I ask for help there is always a very kind person to help me find exactly what I am looking for. I buy all of my leggins and tank tops from here, they are super inexpensive and great quality. I always find the sales to be really good as well, as far as I can say I haven't had a bad experience at all with this company.

    I have always found that their jeans fit me very well but they tend to shrink really easily in the dryer and are difficult to get on after they have been washed. Their tank tops and cami's are great and I find they are often on sale. I love that they always have sales going on and their sale racks in the store are always filled with great stuff at a low price. If you manage to find an outlet store you can get a lot of their clothes for a great price.

    Garage=love the prices!! One of the best things about Garage is how the items are rarely ever over-priced. And the quality is pretty good too.

    It's one of the trendiest stores out there and they always are having new arrivals come in. One of the outlets that I go to seem to always have a sale going on and I always walk out of there with a new bag of clothes and accessories. I've been buying their tees and tanks for ages and they stay in very good condition over the years.

    Closet essentials are a must to buy here, and I love their cardigans sooooo much! Warm and comfy and affordable. How much better could a store get?

    I always leave Garage with a ton of new items! This store is perfect for picking up plain tees and tanks, they come in a wide variety of colours and are a great price. I really like that all of their tees are also fairly long, so I don't have to worry about anything peeking out. I have tons of each, and love layering them for different looks. As well, they always have a cute and comfy selection of underwear, which you can get on sale for a great price.

    One thing I would suggest avoiding from Garage though is their pants (mainly the jeans, though excluding their super comfy sweat/yoga pants), while I've found a ton that look great, they never seem to last long. The material used just seems cheap and thin, and I always find that they rip far too easily.

    I only have a few things from Garage, but the prices are GREAT! You can definately pick up basic clothing items at a low price. I got a really cute bathing suit from Garage for only 20 bucks, while at other stores, some of the bathing suits are over $100 dollars. I also think their sleepwear is adorable. :)
