Uthman Baksh They had a shirt like that 😳....I never shopped there so Idk, I would always see there stores all over so I figured it was a popular store I just never shopped there. Is it like “Express” bc that was my favorites store as well as Zara, Banana republic (Sales rack of course unless I had money to blow bc you can catch a shirt on sale there for about $100 flat ☺️) and my all time favorite store was Atrium bc they had all the brands you could ever want but once I had kids I was in EVERY store that had cute clothes I liked bc my pockets said so 👌🏽

@@mehmeh7567 I just made up that slogan, but I won't be surprised if that was actually for sale in their stores. Women are lucky to have a whole tore just for them while us dudes have to go to H&M or Zara.

Uthman Baksh Zara has men clothes 😳😳😳...The one I went to on 34th street between 5/6 only had women clothes but either way good joke bc I read thought they had a shirt labeled like that 🤦🏽‍♀️

I’m dead 💀💀💀

They think people are stupid buying into brands without considering design and material for the reputation they once built and now ripping it off. H&M is better

@Casually Bianca chaos indeed.

too many of their designs are unwearable in my country... they forgot who they're selling to

Idek why people shop at the store there's nothing unique in the store . Nothing about the clothes are original. They're too basic

Sally Lemon H&M is literally a fast fashion store, how are they better? (In my head all fast fashion brands sucks, no matter how “good” the clothes may look)

true, competition is hard as well. many people here especially girls like to go to places like Zara.

Sizing is a issue aswell, when F21 first opened in Costa Rica the Small sizes where American Smalls. Which where more like Medium-Large here. The eventually adapted though.

Word !

They even open in Asia where no one wants to dress like American girls.

@Tom Jones white people aren't going extinct. America's population as a whole is shifting to an aging population. This is a common phenomenon in advanced economies.

This has happened to me sooo many times.

Also the people they hire are paid very little. Who needs them?

Actually, forever 21 has pretty good quality, like, maybe I just always chose the good ones but non of my clothes from there have ever given up on me. And my favorite clothes are from there.

Chay Well, their prices werent high to begin with

Natasha Kendarji yeah but charging almost 40 for a flimsy “leather” jacket is absurd

If the quality didn't match who told you to buy. Nobody right?

@@stephaniebailey717 No, have you ever seen young women? Every generation since the 60's have that kind of people that dress in clothes that are short, thight, see-throughout, etc. But most people today don't dress like that, but those who do generaly get more attention.

leggings being see-through is a the fashion now so who cares

So u saying it was cheap material

Beth ikr, i used to see hella girls wear the see through leggings and can see their panties like wtf

exactly! 🤣🤣🤣

Lol so true

Yes hong kong is aisan city where they did had crop tops and they even sell in H&M and other brands. People do buy,you cant stop them its their choice. Secondly aisans are skinny and they like to show their skin.

@@kiruishtiak4861 what asia ? probably you mean is HK and SG, but most of SEA perceive wearing crop top as somethin inapropriate

@@kiruishtiak4861 Not all of Asia is like this. A lot of Asia is conservative, for their religion and from upbringing.

I agree except some near forever mature market like frozen foods. They don't need to change products that much.

these retailers or food chains have a great gimmick or fit a need at the time (it's very surprising just how old most of these companies are), then at some point in their slow expansion decide to go corporate. the company grows too fast, makes bundles of money, but it's the same story time and again -- business slips because a corporation doesn't have a Plan B as they're caught by surprise by competitors, they don't follow the 'innovate or die' rule, corporations are where creativity and merit-based progress goes to die, corporate slugs do nothing more than follow the rules in a fill-in-the-blank quick-buck script which layers and layers of incompetent mismanagers are only all too willing to run with.... a corporation smothers a business' soul, and that catches up with them eventually. by then you're in a hail mary situation, but all upper mismanagement has are high level accounting tricks and shuffling things around staving off the inevitable. often then comes the endless parade of CEOs and people like me wondering how the hell they're still hanging on....

very well said

This is true but business also succeeds when it’s needed, not wanted.

Yeah, but the average American goes to places like these because it's inexpensive. That's what makes the business. Are you willing to spend $50 on an American made skirt or $15 on a skirt made in China if you are trying so hard to look decent and not look like a bum when you go out or go to work? I remember buying 5 tops and 5 bottoms at Forever 21, and all that cost me was $150. That's a full wardrobe, that'll last me a whole year. They cater to people like me, because it's a win-win for both sides.

@swave158 and more people are born but these people are far behind in wealth that they can't afford it.

swave158 Most young women are obese these days and can’t fit into their clothing

swave158 millennials are born between 1981-1996 that is the year range given by most research firms such as Pew Research Center(one of the most respected researchers in the business), Federal reserve Board, PWC , Ernst and young and many more

I was 17 in 2010. I bought things and there would be a hole in it the next day. Plus they dont make clothes for tall people like ae and uniqlo which is what i needed.

Forever 21 has tons of competition like fashion nova who's advertising everywhere.

or how many women ?

Irene Lastnamegoeshere They barely had any mens stuff

crop tops aren’t tacky. the store is tacky because they are just tacky

Just shopped there a month ago. I loved many tops in the store, but they were all midriffs (stopped at the waistband). Too bad. But eventually I found a non-midriff turtleneck I needed to go under a sleeveless midriff sweater.

@@juliakrupp2453 ahahahhahaha girl (i call everyone that sorry if i offended) i love you omg

I call stores like H&M, Zara, Forever21 rag stores. They should just give up. You can't keep paying an annual rent of 1.000.000 $ by selling rags. They should donate everything to the homeless and close their doors.

TheUnconventionalDeal without the writing on the clothes.

That's what their doing probably

@@_oceanman they are or thy're, nitwit.

@@samfrancisco8095*They're. If you're going to call out someones grammar at least get the spelling right.

the problem is: they will still cut corners and use cheap fabric and very cheap material to make clothes. Their clothes are made poorly, sewn poorly. ZARA and UNIQLO provided better quality at semi-affordable prices. Even Hollister and A&F make better quality stitching and fabric than FOREVER 21.

And there's wrong with showing skin either geesh

I agree with your opinion, but H&M is hardly thriving. They’re in a similar boat as F21. They closed almost 200 stores this year, profits fell by $100M, and they’re sitting on $4.3B worth of old/unsold merchandise.

Ok Boomer

@@QUARTERSAWN Yup, there's a store in Davenport, IA and Lincoln, NE that I've passed by in both the malls recently and they are always a ghost town. Sad!

@@ibnfu missing the point, pendejo.

In hong kong its starting from $100 onwards. So its already cheap as its good quality.

Are crop tops the tiny shirts that are really short and basically show your bra? The sleeveless 1's? Theres a lot of those.

@@GodSpeed1105 Forever 21 crop tops LITERALLY looked like sports bras except colorful and like an inch or two or three longer smh

They market towards people who try way to hard to appear 'cool'

pennylane36 what stores do you think have good quality?

Paige Faith I’d rather have her buy stuff that’s better quality so it lasts longer. She loves Maurice’s and Francesca

Fax, when I look at the store from outside, it makes me not want to go in just off the colors which makes them look like a kids toy store whereas zara's clothes tend to use colors that grown people usually wears like brown, dark blue, beige etc

@@wiiiz3 ewww zara another dogshit clothing store

Conqwiztadore22 hell, Marshalls sells better looking clothes than Forever 21 lol

Dante E It’s not that hard to find good mature clothes from forever 21

I would not let my 12-year-old wear those clothes. It looks like cheap Kardashian clothing, and that says a lot!

roxyroller120 I agree, I never liked that store. Every time I ever walked in there I always thought the clothes looked like they’re from a thrift store.

I disagree. It has good clothes . I always buy my clothes at forever 21!

FOR REAL🤢

I know! Crop tops, crop tops, crop tops. Nothing but crop tops the last time I went into the store. I'm like...that's great but what about people who can't do the crop top look?

Absolutely agree, and the design always follow others brands as H&M or Zara or Mango... with failure version but the prices even higher. That's ridiculous to buy clothes like this.

That is one of the reasons of their failing, not studying the local market to cater to them.

If they improve the quality, the price will increase, consumers want cheap, fast fashion

mechanichix this.

mechanichix so true

And nothing age appropriate is in the that's teeny bopper gone stripper

Yep

@swave158 my cousin is a retailer in Dubai, trust me her shops are doing quite good. You gotta realize that Arabic women won't buy crop tops just because forever 21 sells them.

@Tuljan I think that’s why they moved from a huge store in Deira City Centre to a smaller store there

@@NoobMachiavelli today I went to one of the markets in dubai to buy my dad some clothes. we got a very good deal. the shop keeper was complaining not enough customers. almost 50 percent of the shops closed in the area. the rent is cut by half. some years back it was hard to get a shop here and the key money was upto 200k

there is nothing great abot their clothes and they are priced much higher than othet brands

Was Dubai lit?

That is the biggest problem. They did not seem to be having financial issues until they moved away from pretty feminine basics to cheap-looking plastic stuff in bright awful colors no one on earth wants.

I actually worked in Forever 21 for a couple month before graduation. They would separate the store in sections/areas. Each area had about 50-100 different styles of clothing and only 2 store assistants per area. Come sale season, it was madness. Each time you would fold a pile of t-shirts or neaten up a rack of clothing, someone will mess it up in a matter of minutes. Not to mention they would rotate the clothing in each store every couple of weeks so you have to remember where each item was placed. Glad it was part time gig and I don't work in retail any more.

You can't properly fold wrinkly thin fabrics. You really can't. A cheap pair of jeans or a flimsy dress become wrinkly just by looking at it. Even when folded, it looks like crap. There were girls in law school who tried to look professional by buying "business outfits" at H&M and I don't care, but they just ridiculous, cause the fabric looks thin and wrinkly, the seams are all wrong, the button gaps reveal your bra, the colar looks awful, wrinkly and flimsy and uncomfortable and the shirt is too long.

True.

Possibly but I think Hollister will last a little longer than the rest. They have decent clothes but way over priced they dont have that brand label they used to.

Megatron agreed.

I dunno, the other ones are better control and more classic.

Hollister will last. They’ve actually been sporting a financial increase for most of the past decade, and they’re the only reason Abercrombie hasn’t completely disappeared.

They can sell classy yet practical clothiers of high quality with a low choice.

yess!

13 going on 30

Yes. One that's cute and trendy but still age appropriate and doesn't make us look like we're trying too hard to be super young, but also doesn't make us look old and frumpy.

Why stop there. "30 single fabulous" "40 and hopefull" "50 and cats" "60 and sags" Etc. 😆

Owned by asians

They need to be more like Amazon/Costco. More liberal return policies and higher quality products. With those two things people will keep on coming and they will be more likely to pay a premium for it.

Parents wanted their kids to wear it once, be fashionable and then move on to be fashionable again with a never ending cycle. That is fraud. How can a company make money ?

Companies have failed to realize return policy is very important. I check that before I spend my money. And if there is a fee or store credit.. I don't shop with that company. Quality of the products are important as well. But if your making things one size fit all you'll never get the business you want.

@@Kesh994 And you are a scammer who wants the company to dress you for free. Cheater. By the way, you are or you're nitwit.

DerHalbeEuro Zara is amazing and directly the cause for declines in H&M and Forever 21

I’m from Europe and ever since the first Forever 22 store opened me and my friend have been going there just to cinge. The clothes are all too colorful and the materials are way too cheap. The same has happened to Zara’s Bershka. Even tho forever 21 was less expensive than Zara, Mango or H&M (at least here), we still prefer those brands. Not to mention that Europeans are not so much into wearing yoga pants every day, bandage dresses or crop tops. We usually see it as teenage fashion.

Old navy is going down too I think

Thrift?? Haaahh!! Expensive and not worth the quality, Some of the sizes look like they're for kids, with bling

toastlover agreed let them die and take fast fashion with them. MSNBC made it seem sad, it’s a victory.

yes, one less store polluting the world with tacky plastic "clothes". good riddance

How? You just think so

I doubt there is a decline in fast fashion..people are buying more clothes online because there is a lot more discount stuff online...

@@tientrinh943 no. Fashion is the second most polluting industry in the world, only behind oil.

Bernice Acquah That is not always the case. Depends on the overall strategy. If the brand can afford the loses it could stay in a market that is promising in the future.

@@olivianwaokocha5955 and Putting 'good' memes on the back Crop-tops just too many Not adapting to other countries style

First suitable clothing dont you go to events, party, birthdays .forever21 selling clothing for people love fashion and suitable price. You can buy tshirts, dresses, skirts, jackets, hoodies and etc on different price range. Similar to barshka, pull & bear ,Monkil, H&M,hollister these are matching brands not Zara or Victoria secret. I agree forever21 bought larger square feet but even H&M has that space
