Went into an H&M today for the 1st time ever
I was very disappointed! The quality of the clothing that I saw (I mostly looked at trousers) was so shoddy! I couldn't believe they charge $35 for pants that looked like they were disposable  I could be wrong, I know a lot of you like this store. but I was so let down.

Re: Went into an H&M today for the 1st time ever
I know what you mean, I feel like they are a little over priced for the quality. I have only bought some comfy t-shirts and 1 pair of jeans (that I happen to love) there.

the line to pay was out into the mall! I honestly didn't see the draw and a few blouses and jackets I looked at felt so stiff and crappy. I've seen better stuff at Target

Re: Went into an H&M today for the 1st time ever
I agree about the quality not being that good. Even so, H&M is the BEST place for tank tops. You know, the kind to wear to the beach or under low cut shirts. They are like $5 each and they fit me perfectly! I throw them out at and buy new ones each spring. I also love their accessories.

I saw the tanks, those were def a good deal for $5.

Re: Went into an H&M today for the 1st time ever
That place is very much a hit or miss. I have a few things from there, includign pants, that I bought 2-3 years ago and they still fit well and look great. However, those are all winter clothes. I noticed that their summer stuff is much more flimsy and of lesser quality.

Re: Went into an H&M today for the 1st time ever
I have never had any luck with H&M. The only things that I have bought there are some tank tops, but other than that, nothing ever fits me right.

Re: Went into an H&M today for the 1st time ever
What really surprised me is that after watching “what not to wear” millions of times and having the utmost respect for Stacy & Clinton’s fashion sense, I cannot believe that they would suggest shopping there! they’re always so hung up on quality and some of the stores they send those girls to are SO expensive. But H&M is recommended on their show a lot!! Strange.

I am sure plently of people will disagree with me and you (and that's fine!), but I agree that the quality lacks. However, I do think that for for basics and "fun" stuff, it's decent.

Re: Went into an H&M today for the 1st time ever
I shopped there several times a week when I was living in London....when it opened here I was so psyched, and I have to say I was so disappointed. I've gotten quite a few things there, but only stuff I knew was for that season only - not to be kept for a few years. It's too bad, the H&M there was so great!

Re: Went into an H&M today for the 1st time ever
Oh, I agree wtih you. I went into it once and that was it. Was not impressed at all. Everyone keeps telling me to try again and look at baby clothes, I just cna't get myself to go there again.

Re: Went into an H&M today for the 1st time ever
The quality is not good IMO. I go to the one city and it is like a madhouse and each time I walked out. It gives me a headache.

Re: Went into an H&M today for the 1st time ever
its hit or miss there
pants are expensive for some reason
but i find that i buy most when their stuff goes on clearance
also their shirts and tank tops and button downs and sweaters are all a good bargain at $7-25

I've never bought anything there because of the quality. I could never understand the hype.

I've bought those there too.  I've also bought a few tops there, but I hate the way most of their clothes fit.

Re: Went into an H&M today for the 1st time ever
I agree the place is hit or miss. I bought some cute things there a few years ago that I still wear... but havent been there for a long time, even before pregnancy... I went through a heavy period when I was sick a few years ago, and found they had nicer things for larger sizes - like 12 - then they do for smaller... JMO...

I agree. I did notice that some stores in LI didn't carry the same clothes as in manhattan.
I think it is known that H&M doesn't make "quality" clothing. But, I love their summer clothes.

Re: Went into an H&M today for the 1st time ever
I used to shop there 4 or 5 years ago. I got some cute stuff and I still wear some of it (mostly sun dresses). The last few times I looked in H&M I thought the quality had definitely dropped and the clothes were too trendy for me. It reminds me of Forever 21 now.

I was only in one once. And I dont think I came out of that store fast enough. Horrible! Just from what I saw anyway. Never went back.

Re: Went into an H&M today for the 1st time ever
I went there yesterday and I did well. I got tops for work- basic v-necks, sleeveless turtlenecks, regular turtlenecks and a nice buttondown. It took me a looong time to find something I like. We dont have H&Ms in Australia so I wanted to get some clothes, b/c they are cheap and have better quality than cheap clothes in Australia.
