Smack Clothing

I’m totally late on this review but, I had to resist the temptation of buying the whole damn store when I was here about 2 weeks ago! They have some of the cutest dresses and accessories. I was a good girl and walked away with a skirt and dress… for under $ 25! Friendly staff as well!

Checked this place out for the first time today. I love the exterior of the building and the inside is pretty rad as well. The shop had a good vibe and I saw a lot of neat things. Sadly, I didn’t find anything I couldn’t live without, but I like to admire fashion from a far sometimes more than really dive into it anyhow.
They had a lot of neat jewelry in the cases, though I wish I could have seen the prices. I hate having to ask because it makes me feel pressured. I’m kind of awkward, but maybe next time I’ll just go ahead and ask because I’m still thinking about the cute necklace I saw haha
The downstairs was lush with clothing and accessories. A fun place to go with a friend or while out on a bit of an adventure/​date, which I was, with my guy. When we got upstairs we loved the fancy seating area and struck a few poses on the couch. We danced around the dress racks a bit… We were feeling it haha. There was a good overall vibe.
Even though we didn’t purchase anything, I’m sure we’ll be back. I wasn’t exactly in the market for anything specific today. Now that I know what kind of items this shop carries, I can come back when I need a cool dress… or that necklace… Heh.

I have been shopping at Smack Clothing for over ten years… They constantly reinvent themselves to stay on the cutting edge of high fashion! Smack has such a vast variety of clothing, to accessories. It is my GO TO store for high fashion, however I will stumble upon a great piece for everyday work wear!!! I strongly recommend you check Smack out, as you will find yourself satisfied every visit!!!

I needed to dress for my conterence party because i wasn’t happy what i brought with me. The Hotel concierge recommended Smack Clothing nearby. I walked in and saw the giant discoball and the style of the store, i knew i was in the right place! The jewelry was beautiful and fits perfect to the clothes. I chose something special after i found out about the second floor! Too many beautiful dresses to chose from!
Clothing stores in Holland i usually can chose from are much smaller and have less choises in individuall fabrics. I love my new outfit and had the best night out ever!
Thanks to Smack and im definitly coming back if i return for the next years conference!

I’m kind of a Brooks Brothers guy, but I’ve been trying to step out of my box so a lady friend took me to Smack on Elliston. I’d never even seen the place, but apparently it’s been around forever, so I guess they’re doing something right. I don’t remember his name, but this little gay guy helped us from the second we walked in the store. We sent the poor guy back and forth as I waited in the dressing room, he was super helpful and friendly. I wound up with a few new outfits. The stuff isn’t cheap, but it’s affordable and it’s really good stuff, I’d always assume pay a tad more for something that’s better and hopefully not make in a sweat shop. I still feel more comfortable in my Brooks Brother suit, but I’m progressing!

I have passed the store in the past but being a curvy girl I’ve never stopped in because I assume their clotes are for smaller inviduals. Well they had a dress in the window that made me stop in and I’ve been back twice now to find chic clothing for my smaller younger sister and accessories for me! Their sale racks are wonderful and the staff is the same. The sales lady went out of her way to help me find a birthday dress for my sister and «Papa Smack» was ready for me when I checked out! They have definitely been added to my goal stores list.

Ladies… Want trend setting clothes… want everyone to stare and drool over your outfit… go to SMACK! Prices are comparable to paying full price at a department store but believe me the clothes are absolutely beautiful and you can definitely find some deals. Whatever the event go to SMACK.

Smack is one of those establishments you wish the world didn’t know about but it’s just so fabulous you can’t keep it to yourself.
The price range is moderate, its not the cheapest place you could venture to, but it is far from expensive. They have a broad selection of clothing that is modern and in line with today’s and yesterday’s fashion styles. You can find it all here, clothing, accessories, shoes, and a great staff.
I venture here EVERY TIME i want something unique. They have amazing jewelry that i’ve yet to see anywhere else. I love their dresses and jackets. Not to mention that when they have a SALE they truly have a sale. I recently visited the store and the staff was welcoming and helpful as they are each time i visit. I often wish i was dating because i see so many great men’s items nestled behind its doors. I have to say «upstairs» is my favorite spot.
So if you’ve had your fill of chain, and franchise stores, and your looking for something unique at a great price then SMACK is the spot for you. It’s just one of those places that you have to experience for yourself, you won’t be disappointed.

This place is tragic. You are able to find much more «fashionable» items at a local TJ Maxx (I love me some TJ’s) I used to shop here a lot in 2007-​08 (mostly for dresses and such) and I have no idea what has happened. The walls are covered in Affliction type t-​shirts and dresses that looked like they were unable to be sold off of a Wet Seal sale rack. The handbags all looked like knock-​off designer bags.
Imagine the horror as I brought a girlfriend here the other day that had never been. We left laughing and were still laughing about it later in the evening.
No parking available but there are plenty of meters on the street.

Awesome style for Nashville w/​out having to go out to Greenhills or Opry mall. They have unique, trendy, knock off high fashion, items. I would buy TONS from there if the prices were about 10% lower. The sales racks are always nice, though.

I love Smack Clothing’s clothing store. Although pricy, you are really finding one of a kind clothing that no department store is going to carry or if they do, you are really going to have to dig. I feel like Smack is a hit or miss depending on their seasons-​sometimes I go in and leave with four bags, but other times I find nothing. Upstairs they have a more frugal clearance section which is where I reside. But my favorite shirt for summer time i bought their for nine bucks and it is soooo cute!!!

For all you wannabe rock stars out there (again, I mean this in the best way possible), follow the lights to Smack. I always wondered where all the country rocker types walking around Nashville got their clothes, and then I walked into Smack. With rhinestoned crosses and skulls galore, this place must call out to someone, not me, but I have seen you walking around with leather bracelets, tight jeans, snakeskin dress shoes, and Ed Hardy like button downs. Clearly, this place is not my bag of chips, but I will say that if you head upstairs you will find some good deals on going out dresses and even some great shoes on sale. The guy who was working upstairs was really nice and helpful, the woman downstairs not so much. Again I say, RHINESTONES!

Smack is all about rock ‘n roll and glamour: Mexican art-​influenced rhinestones T-​shirts and tanktops, risqué halter dresses, tops with holes cut in the shoulders, designer jeans, But there are a lot of interesting dresses and tops here for people with a subtler, less flashy look who still like to wear edgy or unusual clothes. Smack is a big store, so they manage to offer a good selection of various youthful styles. I thought the eclecticism of the store was a really neat feature, because it allows shoppers who enjoy different looks to mingle and try new styles.
While I was looking around Smack, I saw as many men shoppers as women, which struck me as kind of unusual. But their selection of men’s clothes is about as wide as the women’s section, so I guess that makes sense. Although the new, in-​season items at Smack are pretty expensive ($ 30-​$ 40 tops, etc.), they have some really good sales: $ 12 skirts, $ 30 dresses… I got a high-​quality linen retro print dress there on sale for just $ 17. The staff here is really nice — I saw a staff member patiently bringing another customer dress after dress, and chatted with the woman at the register about the Sesame St. video she had on. My only complaints about Smack are logistical — they only have three dressing rooms, which means that in the middle of the afternoon during the week I had to wait for one to open (I don’t even want to know what the wait is like on the weekends!), and they don’t have a scanner, so check-​out takes longer than usual because the cashier has to record the code for each item you’re purchasing by hand. Overall though, possibly my favorite clothing store in Nashville thanks to the interesting and varied selection and the great sales.

I appreciate Smack’s attempt to be a bit hipper and trendier than a lot of the clothing stores in the area, even if it means they often err on the way too out there side. The price range is what keeps me from being a regular browser, but as Sharon mentioned there are great deals to be had if you’re willing to comb through the sale section.
Another good place to find lower prices is in the accessories. They occasionally mix in some jewelry or bags that are in a much more accessible price range while still maintaining all the fun of their overall collection. On one of my first trips in there I found a great pair of silver star dangle earring for under $ 20, and they’re one of the most-​complimented pieces of my wardrobe.

Smack is a clothing shop for the country style rocker! They sell plaid button down shirts by the dozen, they had rude boy checkered hats, and even girlie rocker plaid shirts. The look of this store is distinctly western rock dude or girly. So if that is your look, you will love it. The staff is pretty hands off, and somehow manages to say hello as you walk through the store. Smack has a lot of denim and even some faux leather jackets.
The thing to do is go straight to the second floor which they call the «sale room.» Here you can find all the same brands for a huge discount. They sell a lot of clothing by the «Miss Me» brand. I saw several pairs of jeans marked down to about $ 20 upstairs. They also have some cute party dresses, and upstairs you can get them for under $ 60.

People certainly seem to think this is the place to go if you want some hip, trendy attire. I have to tell you, I only ventured into this establishment once, and the nearest salesman looked at empathetically, as if to say, «Oh, friend. This store is not for you.»
I’ve read reviews saying Smack carries edgy «rock» clothes, but I’m not sure exactly what type of «rock» that would be. Maybe open-​collared, frosted-​tip Bön Jovi types like it, but it certainly isn’t the place for guys who listen to the Stones, play guitar all day and just want to spend a few bucks on an old t-​shirt. In fact, it seems like their men’s attire caters toward dudes who shave and oil their chests regularly.
I didn’t really hang around Smack long enough to get a true sense of what prices were like, but I get the impression most of their garb runs a bit expensive. They seem to have a pretty good selection of men’s and women’s clothes, and the staff was certainly friendly, but this place is just not my scene. If you’re an actual rock guy (i.e. can barely make rent, have a pretty intense beard, like the Stooges, The Beatles, or The Kinks, et cetera), hit up Flashback across the street or Hip Zipper on the East Side. If you want to look like Keith Urban, go get your Smack on.

Very cool store. Probably way too hip for someone like me, who tends to err on the more preppy side! But, as I’ve said before, I can dream can’t I?!
It’s a small space, but chock full of funky «rock» clothes. Once, fresh from attending a «fake Bön Jovi» (Slippery When Wet) show, stopped in here the next day and bought myself two very rock star-​ish t-​shirts. And wore them proudly. Only to be laughed at by my friends, since it’s totally not my style! Again, pipe dreams!!!
Seriously though, Smack does have some crazy, funky, cool attire for sale. Stop in here… if you want to feel like a rock groupie too! I’ll be back, probably after the next time I attend a Bön Jovi or Led Zepplin tribute band!

I LOVE THIS STORE!
I am shocked to be the first reviewer, as this store is actually very popular among fashion stylists for the music industry in Nashville from country to rock. Unlike most of the fashion boutiques in Nashville which carry mostly preppy casual, Smack carries very unique clothing as well as brands though some better known I have seen are Monarchy, Salvage and some popular jeans brands. I would call them sort of «rockstar cool» brands. They have also like Triple Five Soul, etc. They do carry some of the more common boutique brands too, though most of the stuff looks very unique for Nashville.
The small two floor store was very stylishly designed by the owner personally. The owner himself can often be seen working in the store personally.
The store is tucked in a small but fashionable area called Elliston Place which is on the other side of Vanderbilt from Hillsboro Village, another street with a few boutique stores. Elliston Place is sometimes called Nashville’s «Rock Block» because there are several live music bars nearby. Down the street there is a day spa, a couple of cool restaurants, and Nashville’s only privately owned 24/​hr café called Café Coco (on a side street) that is popular with the Vanderbilt students and young club crowd (on weekends).
