Discovery Clothing

Cute cheap merch .it’s like a Rue 21 for Albany Park. It’s in walking distance of other shops, doesn’t have a dressing room but has 20 days return policy. I always walk out with bags. +shoes for little people feet (size6 fits like 5). Bonus.

This place is literally two (2) blocks away from my apartment. Nevertheless, I seldom go there to check it what they have. Tonight, I passed by and decided to stop by to refresh my knowledge in junior fashion.
You really get what you pay for. If you don’t mind the quality of clothing you’re purchasing, you should be pretty content shopping at the Discovery Clothing.
They appeared to have enough number of sales associates working on the floor. Please understand that they don’t offer dressing rooms for customers. Don’t complain about this; watching shoplifters is a difficult task and a store like this needs to pay attention on the issues in loss prevention so they can stay in business.
I used to manage a competitor store, and boy, I was SO exhausted everyday. I now have lots of appreciation to those who work in the junior-​fashion industry.
There were some fashionable and cute items that didn’t «look» cheap (unless you touch the fabrics and the truth would be revealed). If I needed clothes, shoes, and accessories, I would probably pick out some items and happily take them home. However, with four (4) plus year working in the fashion retail, I’m eagerly getting rid of what I have in my closet because I’ve had a lot.
For those who have some stereotypes about the Discovery Clothing store, there shouldn’t be any concerns. They have clientele with different diversities and ethnicities. With that being said, anyone should be comfortable walking into one of these stores.

If you are a woman don’t go in this store wearing a skirt or dress. Most of the clothing racks are mirrored on the bottom, so they can catch you shoplifting by stuffing things up your clothes… I guess? The only other reason I can think of for that, is that the person who designed them is a pervert of some sort… They have men working there who are probably not straight men, but still, who wants anyone looking up their skirt for any reason.
Adding to the problem is that they tail you and make you feel like a criminal. I finally left today in frustration because they were following me, and as soon as I put something on a bench they would run off with it. I was going to buy some shoes, although I was hesitant because they are made of really cheap materials and are definitely not even worth the price of $ 30. I thought of using them as part of some costuming, so I figured it didn’t matter so much if they weren’t meant to last long.
They don’t have dressing rooms, but have a real liberal return policy so I am giving them an extra star for that.

I am not a fan of any of the Discovery stores or most of its clothing. When I do happen to make a bad call and buy something I’m only going to complain and whine about, they are very happy to welcome my exchange/​return, even I misplaced some tags to the shoes I bought. Friendly staff too.

Ok, first off, I’d like to start off that I came here on the hunt for last minute Halloween gear. I needed a cheap wife beater to cut up for my Pretty Woman outfit, which I found for $ 1.99. Woot. And my costume rocked, if I can say so myself. :)
But, what I forgot was that they have loads of budget clothing that is good to stock up on w/​o paying a hefty amount. I got a few more beaters, some yoga pants and plain white (and some colored) tees for all under $ 5 bucks each. Not bad.
So, while this is not quality clothing really, it’s a pretty good deal when getting those everyday items and such for a good price that def won’t break the piggy bank. It’s kind of like a forever 21 — I mean just cuz you’re not on a high school budget anymore doesn’t mean you have to pay triple the price for undershirts and stuff, right?! And I even found cute scarves that I can rock this winter — rather than spending $ 30 for a Juicy tee with no logo, get one here and save those dollars for some Louboutins… or whatever high fashion nonsense you’re into… hahah. And you can find trendy stuff that’s good for a few wears… dare I say, I shall be back.

I shop here quite often. You can always find something in style for cheap prices. Albeit, the quality isn’t as good but you get for what you pay. They especially have really cute ‘clubbing’ clothes and several locations in the city. There is a 14 days return policy and the tag must still be on the item.

Oh no no no no no. Can’t recommend this place at all! Th eprices are affordable, but there are so many other places to go to in this city that are comparable price-​wise. You will not leave this place with any quality whatsoever! The clothes are sometime kinda cute, but when I bought home those three items, I knew I would instantly regret it! Plus there’s no return policy. Bummer.

I used to be a huge fan of discovery Clothing when I lived back in the suburbs. Now I feel like their clothing line has become very trashy. I rarely find tops that I like to wear. The disappointing fact of this clothing store is they don’t have any fitting rooms. They are very sneaky because obviously you like something and you will buy it without trying it on. But once you take that tag off, you can’t exchange/​return it. So be careful! Their accessories are nice. I’ve gotten a bunch of things from here. Can’t beat their prices for sure!

I love, love, love Discovery. I swear by it. Being a bartender and having to wear all black, it is so much easier to buy a whole bunch of different tops for under $ 50. That way, if you ruin one, you just go on to the next one!

I’ve been a Discovery shopper throughout the past few years. The prices are what have me returning. They typically carry the latest fashion trends at a fraction of what you would pay at the department stores or local mall.
However, at times, the quality of the clothes isn’t the best. Some tend to shrink and at times you wonder, why in the world would anybody consider buying that? But, there are some great deals. They have a huge selection of jeans, with most being no more than $ 20. The same brands you would find in your typical juniors’ store. I also like scoping out the accessories. This past fall, I picked up some strands of beaded necklaces to see how I could incorporate them into my wardrobe.
The other big downside to this store is that they don’t have fitting rooms. At times, you can get away with trying on a jacket or what not over your shirt, however be weary, some employees try to enforce the no trying on rule strictly. Their return policy is decent. I buy things that appeal to me, go home and try them on. If I don’t like it, I just make sure to come back within two weeks to return it for a full refund.
This store is definitely worth a visit if you want to update your closet with the newest trends but without making a huge dent in your wallet!
