You can't order their clothers over the internet or even by phone. You have to be in the store to make an order. What's the point? It's 2008. Get with the times.

I have to say that i was a big Express shopper for a very long time. Until I decided to get a part time job. By Far Express is one of the worst clothing store to work for! I have worked retail all my life, and this was horrible. First the mangers hardly give the associates any real training we were trained on the registers for maybe 15 minutes. Never was I even trained to do a return until 2 weeks later! Those stupid headphones they make the associates wear are not for just calling in the backroom for a size it's for every hour or so the managers get their little headsets to yell at every one to sell, sell more pants!!! Legs they call it.Our Conversions are down Blah, Blah!!! The store manger of the Express store that I worked was so miserible and so disgruntled. He never said hello to anyone, was rude all the time. Just before I quit me and one other girl who started the same time as i did we were left at the register doing like 10 returns that we had no idea what to do. Than I over heard one of the mangers talking to An Ex associate about not wanted to hire any one of a certain ethic background. I was so Livid. I called the store Manger the one that was so disgruntled and told him, Funny how his whole attitude change, he asked me not to quit. I did anyway. How could anyone stay at a company like this.

Don't hate just b/c you can't afford the clothes. Shop at the Gap, Old Navy, or somewhere else. Express styles are developed at 5th avenue in nyc and you have to pay for that. I love their clothes and are always right with the new styles.

They have a nice selection, with some very attractive clothes. I do feel that they are very overpriced though. The clearance items are usually not very nice, which is probably why they remain unsold at regular prices.

The quality of the clothing at Express has really, really gone downhill. I bought a pair of their slacks in 1996 for about $80. These became my favorite pants and I wore them once every two weeks until last year. The fabric was of exceptional quality, obviously.
I went to Express last year to purchase a new pair of slacks. The first thing that I noticed was how thin the fabric was in all of their pants. I figured that maybe lighter/thinner was better. So, I paid $70 for a pair of Editor pants. I wore these slacks only three times. They were already pilling and wrinkled easily. On the third day, my heel got caught in the back of the pants and the pants completely ripped! When I got home, I realized why. The pants were made of the thinnest material. I held them up to the light and you could see right through them. The pants were useless and there went my money.
I stopped in Express on Saturday in hopes of finding a pair of black wide-leg trousers. Again, the $70 Editor pants were very thin. I held them up in front of me, and I could see straight through them. The pants are made of nothing but threads, not well-woven material, but threads.
I'm so done with Express. The clothes may look great but they are not built to last very long. You could buy the same quality from Forever 21 for much, much less.
I bought a pair of Banana Republic slacks instead and they remind me of what Express used to be.

Prices are fair only when there is a good sale. They're regular prices are outrageously high. Also, I don't know if this is just the store I went to but their customer service is very poor. Recently, I was there shopping when they were having a big %off sale. I had an exchange to make that day as well but I thought it might be easier to just purchase everything first and handle the exchange after. My first issue was that the %off did not automatically ring up and the cashier did not fix it until I mentioned it to him after he gave me my total. I think that is a very deceptive practice which makes it very inconvenient for the customer. Secondly, after making the purchase I asked him if I could make an exchange and he told me that the other cashier can do that and walked away. I work retail and I know when you're in the middle of helping a customer you shouldn't just shove them off and make them wait in line AGAIN. Especially if the employee is the supervisor in charge which I found out later that day when I had to come back because I was charged twice for the same item. All I can say is I've never been so disappointed with a retail store before. I'll admit their clothes aren't bad, but I can find the same clothes with better deals and less attitude at another store.

For the most part I like Express and I have shopped there for years. But recently, I went to return something and the cashier asked for my driver's license. I didn't understand what she wanted. Finally I realized that she wanted to swipe my driver's license card! I objected to this very strongly but was told that I could not return my merchandise without a swipe of my driver's license. She said the company does this to track people who do too many returns. Anyway, I vowed never to shop there again.

I like Express. Both guys and girls can find something. I like it's modern, colorful, and affordable clothes. Saying that, I normally but their clothes when they have their specials ($10-30 range). By no means I'm cheap, but practical...absolutely.

Nice stuff but I could never find anything for me. The colors are too loud - I think bright stripes or loud solids (pinks, blues and yellows) when I think of Express for Men.

They design and fit their jackets perfectly.
Moderately high quality and practical designs.
From my experience they always use comfortable fabrics.
My only complaint would be that the thigh areas for their pants are too big.
Right price for the right quality.

Express isn't a great clothing store, but it isn't bad either. I have found their regular prices to be atrociously high, but they do have some great sales and end of the season clearance prices. Also, they have great specials for credit card holders (20-25% off at times). The jeans fit very nice and look classy, especially if you have a tall, skinny build, like myself. Their shirts all have a very similar look to them: the colors are bold and flashy and usually have a plain color or striped pattern to them. The cloth used for the men's button-up shirts is high quality, but it is not wrinkle-free and requires significant time with an iron after washing or even wearing. I have found that the buttons are not stitched on well AT ALL. If you have a shirt from Express, check the loose threads on the buttons. A slight pull on the thread, and most often the thread will unravel and off goes the button. While it is not particularly hard to stitch buttons, it can get a little annoying. Overall, a decent store, especially if you hit one of their sales. I would not pay full price for a shirt or pair of jeans (full price goes from $50-80), but on sale, I've got some very nice shirts for $10-20 and jeans for maybe $30.

This store sells the best basic black pant, if you don't mind spending 50-60 bucks for them. Tops are cute, although I'm not impressed with their jeans this fall, they have nice stuff.

It's not where I primarily shop (I mainly shop at Gap and New York and Company), but I love Express for getting some trendy, colorful tops. And I really like their dress pants and skirts. Not a fan of their jeans, though. They fit a little too snug for my tastes, and it seems like even their short lengths are too long for me. Overall it's a bit overpriced, but they have great clearance sales!

Cute clothes, a variety of cuts and styles, uncluttered stores, and rather high prices. But if you need something decent looking in a hurry, this is a good place to go. I do wish they carried all their pants in petite. I don't know why they only carry certain styles in petite but not others.

i love express clothing. they have the best fitting jeans of any i've tried and i really like their bra tops as well. they do have seasons where they seem to miss. a lot. but overall i like their clothing. and some of the colors are bad, but i tend to favor black and they make everything in black anyway. i've never noticed the clothing being poor quality and don't have a single express item that has fallen apart. definitely a store i'll be shopping at for a long time.

Ok so after working at Express since May I can say that this is a bad company to work for.I once thought this was a great clothing store. My opinion has definately changed.First off we (the employees) are forced to basically attack the customers when they come throught the door.If a customer does not leave the store with at least three purchased items then I get repremanded at the end of my shift. I cannot exactly put a gun to someones head and make them buy stuff. Another point to make Express wants to sell stuff to everyone even if it does not fit right or is ugly just try to get the customer to buy it anyway. This company is driven by greed and money and that is all that matters at the sacrifice of customers and employees. Because the employees are brainwashed to sell stuff to people even when they do not want it a person could go into the store and be attacked by three or more workers all desperate for a sell. The clothes are crap. Poorly made and way overpriced. The only time that I would recommend any of you buy these cheap ass clothes is during sales when instead of paying 78 dollars for jeans you could pay just 15 or 20 dollars. Besides the fact that each garment is backstocked with up to 100 additional pairs in the backroom. So who wants to pay $78 dollars for some jeans and walk out of the store and see 50 other people wearing those exact jeans. And usually the clothes are pretty ugly expecially all the neon colored crap they are trying to pass off as fashionable in the women's section. And now my final point, express takes themselves too damn seriously. The managers and the higher-ups actually believe that Express clothing is the American equivalent of Gucci or other high end designer brands. Sorry Express you are no where near Gucci or Armani, Express is just a mall store with cheaply made and overpriced clothing. Please avoid it at all costs!

I'll look around in this store every so often for black dress pants to wear to a job interview. But it's not a store I depend on for my primary wardrobe. I'm more of an American Eagle kind of girl. Plus, the last time I shopped there I didn't have a good experience. I was trying to find some petite length jeans. I went to go try them on in the fitting room, and the SA was knocking on the door every two minutes asking if I was OK. It was almost like she was expecting me to shoplift something! And I had a good three pairs to try on and examine myself in! I'm pretty picky when it comes to my jeans. And I like to take my time when shopping for jeans as well. I don't appreciate being treated like a thief! If I want that kind of treatment, I'll shop at Wal-Mart!

I feel like I stepped onto the set of Zoolander when I'm at the Express (for men). What with the euro-trash techno playing and their employees dressed like they're going out clubbing. Their clothes aren't that bad. I've seen some decent items... but all of their clothes look better on manequins than actual people. The stuff I've bought there, I hardly wore, often ending up at the goodwill. They have some funky finishes for their jeans... but the denim they use is sometimes cheap and thin. When their jeans are on sale, it's not a bad purchase but at regular price (Anywhere from $50-$80) it's totally not worth it. You're better off paying an extra 50 dollars and buying some high end jeans. Overall, not a bad store, but I have yet to meet a single person who looks as good in their clothes as their manequins do.

One of my favorite stores. They usually have cute clothes and the shirts and jeans are very good quality, but their skirts, the seams at the top always fall apart after washing them. They have great underwear and jewelry. At Express, it seems like they always have seasons where they have alot of cute clothes, and seasons where everything is boring and too corporate. But overall, it's a good store.

i've shopped there since it opened in most of the u.s. (1993), and for me to continue shopping there from high school through college and beyond says something about the quality of the product (or just about me, hey). their jeans don't fit me anymore, but their nicer work-type pants do, and i appreciate that. they're more or less in a price range that i can handle, and i appreciate that too. i also like their jewelry a lot.

Used to shop there a lot when I ws in high school and college in the 90's. Back then the clothes covered a bit more skin and were more tasteful. Now there's too many trashy outfits. Their jeans always fit me well, until I discovered CK, but they were not very well made. That's my big beef with this store overall- who cares how revealing or trendy the outfits are if they fall apart after a few months? Another place that's just gone downhill.

I WAS GOING TO RATE EXPRESS A 4, BUT I DECIDED TO GIVE IT A 5. ...BEFORE YESTERDAY, WHENEVER I WENT INTO THE STORE, I COULD NEVER, NEVER FIND ANYTHING NICE. I TRIED ON EVERYTHING, AND NOTHING FIT NICELY...UNLESS IT WAS $40 FOR A SHIRT! YESTERDAY, I BOUGHT THREE SHIRTS THERE, AND I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT! I GOT THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SHIRTS, AND I AM CRAZY ABOUT THEM ALL AND I CAN'T WAIT TO WEAR 'EM!! WHEN ABERCROMBIE & FITCH CHARGES $40 FOR A SHIRT, EXPRESS MAY DO THE SAME......BUT THEIR CLOTHES ARE NICER AND MADE OUT OF BETTER MATERIAL, SO IT IS WAY WORTH IT! EXPRESS SENDS ME COUPONS ALL THE TIME, FOR LIKE 15-25% PERCENT OFF, WHICH IS GREAT! THE STORES ARE FANCY AND VERY, VERY WELL LIGHTED, WHICH GIVES IT THE BIG CITY LOOK(LOL, I MEAN IF U R NOT IN THE CITY). THEY HAVE A STORE IN EVERY ONE OF THE MALLS BY ME...AND I HOPE THAT'S JUST NOT ME. THEY ALWAYS HAVE SOMEONE TO ASSIST YOU, AND THEY ARE USUALLY ALWAYS VERY CORTIOUS. BUT EVEN IF THEY WEREN'T, THAT'S NOT EXPRESSES FAULT(UNLESS SHE ALWAYS IS RUDE). I MEAN, IT'S NOT EXPRESS' FAULT IF SHE JUST GOT IN A FIGHT WITH HER BOYFRIEND OR IF SHE IS HUNGRY, IS IT? OVERALL, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GIVING EXPRESS A SHOT. EVEN IF U COULDN'T FIND SOMETHING THE LAST 5 TIMES(LIKE ME). !! GREAT SALES AND LOVELY JEANS !!

Yes, alot of Express's clothes are kind of teeneybopperish, but if you go for the dressier styles, you can find some great clothes! I love the dresses - perfect for that special date when you want to look like a scene in a movie, but not overblown and tacky. And they have some really nice clothes that I can wear to work. Advice for anyone who wants to buy that 'perfect' white button down shirt - look in Express, that's where I found mine! I just wish they would sell straight leg jeans, though, because I'm really not into flare leg, but that's all they had at my local Express. And also, the salesgirl at my Express was very rude. When I told her that 'no, I don't want to start up an Express credit account' she still wouldn't leave me alone about it. I work in retail so I know what the associates go through, but isn't good customer service about being good to the customer!! Anyway, the other associates were nice to me, and their dressier clothes are very classy!

ill-fitting clothes in atrocious colors and of poor quality. I would not have even given it one star if not for their cotton women's underwear. very comfy and fits me wonderfully! My underwear drawer is stocked with them in all colors (the underwear colors are actually attractive rather the rest of their stuff with the hot pinks and puke beiges).

My closet is mostly Express. I got hooked when I worked there, and have enjoyed shopping there ever since. Some seasons are better than others; honestly I don't find something every single time I go in. I LOVE that they send coupons to me and have promotions that actually let you save on things (just as long as you don't go overboard). I don't have trouble finding my size (1/2-3/4). Best of all, there are a lot of things that are affordable and do not require dry cleaning!

I love the Express' dressier clothes. The dresses and skirts are chic and colorful, but not trashy if you get the right size and the style to fit your body type. The clothes are glam enough to suit my taste, although a little bit on the expensive side. If you want something great from Express, go to the clearance racks!!!

Why oh why do I still go into this store? I haven't bought anything but a white tank top from this store since the early ninties. The clothes are cheap, trendy, and trashy. They have ridiculous colors that are horrendous. It is like they take the new trend, brighten the color, and then make is shorter or tighter. I admit, I still go into the store, but I always do a once around and leave, wondering why I even went in in the first place.

I go to Express whenever I want to buy something a little classy but still comfy and not too trendy. I agree that they are trying to win over the younger crowd-but i have no objections to that-because I'm part of the younger crowd. I disagree with the statement that they have the best fitting jeans ever. Maybe they have fitting jeans-but you have to be tall, thin and almost perfect to look good in them! I'm small, but I'm also short-and their pants do not look good on short people.I love their selection of wacky colors, their sweaters and jackets well enough to rate it a 4, but I don't like how some skirts and pants give you the illusion of looking cool and great fitting until you try them on and then-its like: "what the heck happened?"

I am only 27, yet I feel like I am too old for a lot of the Express fashions. They offer good quality clothing..and I can find some classic basics there, but they are oh so trendy. The pants don't seem to run true to size and they don't have any petites for vertically challenged people such as myself.

Over the years, Express has changed their clothing style. Before, I remember comparing Lerner store and Express. Today, Express has distinguished itself from Lerner store by targeting a younger group. The store has become more "hip". Especially for summer, Express has bright colors, the material for skirts and tops are bringing more variety to the store. In addition, they still keep the business casual clothing style.
