Trendy, tired, uninspired. But ladies, I always swing through because if you’re in the mood for a lil’ diggin’, you’ll leave with a few good deals.
Case in point: Last August, I found a pair of peg-​legged Seven jeans to rock under boots for about $ 35. Insane.
Also, on the same trip, I scored the highly-​sought after bronze, gold & purple Havaina flip-​flops, when they were sold out everywhere else. Cheers to that!

There’s always something I want here but I end up at the hospital with sticker shock instead. Seriously, the prices are just stupid. They do have a high discount sale going on right now but the sale price is even ridiculous.
If you want to drop a chunk of change for good designer funkiness, head over to Saks or French Connection.

Going out of business sale going on now. Some things are still a little insane. Yup, that $ 600 purse is 60% off but that still means that it’s $ 240. Yeah, uh, no thanks. Some great Steve Madden shoes were priced down to $ 10 and $ 15 but unfortunately none of the cute ones were left in my size. I did pick up some cute braclets for $ 8 but, seriously, you can probably find ones around the same price and in the same style at Claire’s or H&M for about the same price. Worth checking out if you have some time to kill, but I would not make it a priority destination. Even at 60−80% off most of the stuff is still pretty overpriced, IMO. You can get just a cute outfits at H&M for a fraction of the cost.

Still some good deals left if you don’t mind sifting through the crap. There’s an article in Boston magazine that answers the question «Why is this place closing?» #1 they sold out to a larger company and #2 the owner couldn’t keep his paws off the staff. Allegedly.
Go buy yourself a cheap pair of shoes and get something good out of the situation!

Farewell Jasmine Sola and thank you for going out of business so that i could get 2 pairs of shoes at 70% off. Yup, that’s 2 pairs of shoes for $ 53 total.
My receipt said I saved $ 125. Now, one can assume that Jasmine Sola still made a bit of a profit off my purchase of deeply discounted shoes. So, that means that if I had bought them at full price the markup would have been purely obscene. Good riddance Jasmine Sola!

I live in Manhattan but visit Boston every few months, and I always like to stop in to Jasmine Sola when I’m on Newbury Street. I went in today and even though Big Papi himself was busy parking his Lamborghini out front on his way into dinner, the manager was extremely helpful and helped me find some jeans I LOVED.
I do agree with theother reviewers that J.S. has gone a little too far down the cheap/​polyester/​crappy cotton t-​shirt route, but there are some great finds if you just look through the racks. They have the typical Sevens, Citizens of Humanity and Rock & Republic, but also has some cute (new!) brands of jeans you might not find at Barney’s or Anthropolgie just yet.
I thought the service was on point — helpful but not pushy. The girls who work there are not fashion experts, but they’ll get you a size 30 when that size 29 just ain’t fitting!

Overpriced. Snotty salesgirls. The same boutique in Indianapolis would be half as expensive, and you’d spend most of your time talking to the staff and finding out you know the owner’s cousin or boyfriend or dog groomer or something.
I agree with Lynne — give me Target, TJ Maxx or Urban Outfitter’s sales any day of the week.

Like everyone else said, OVERPRICED. I did find a pair of cute purple shiny pumps for 19 dollars once. Which is some kind of miracle for this place. And recently I found a cute top for 32.95…i kick my self for getting it, but I despartely needed something for a event in teal, and i found something cute and functional, even though they next day, I found another shirt in teal, of the same quality at forever21 on sale for 3.99.
Now…the thing is. they ARE rude… in fact they treat me like I am too fat to shop there. Which is just horrible, I hate the fact they walk in and judge you because you are size 8. Since when is size 8, giantnormous, when i asked for them to assist me, in finding jeans that fit, they told me, I would have trouble because of my size?
No doubt about it. They also glare if you pay in cash. WTF if your problem? Some people don’t have parents, who give them their credit cards. Some people acutally work hard for their money, and can’t afford to have a credit card.

I used to shop here regularly my freshman year of college.
In a nutshell — Jasmine’s clothes are for newbie college students who will fall for any marketing gimmick. JS advertises EVERYWHERE. However, most of their clothes are made with gross cotton/​jersey strechy material — much like you will find at Old Navy. It is not worth the money to spend on mass produced item that were shipped from Taiwan.
The staff … oh the staff… a bunch of pretentious barely legal teens who don’t wear enough clothing and have way too much makeup on their faces.
One star for a cute selection of shoes at reasonable prices.

I have to agree with almost everyone here that they are exceedingly overpriced.
I did try on three pairs of jeans that I fell in love with, and DID almost throw down $ 900 something… but came to my sense and got the fuck out of there before those jerks got my dough. Very rude. Sorry I don’t look like your typical Newbury St. chick with daddy’s AMEX. They treat people who carry that much cash on them like trash, and that’s the goddamn truth.
The location at Burlington Mall and Brattle St. has the same constistent crap, and attitude to boot. All set.
But I still do dream about those lovely jeans that made my ass look splendid… sometimes.

I hardly ever go into the Jasmine Sola on Newbury and when I do I usually go into the little tiny one on the right side of the street (344) and come out frustrated and bothered. The other day I found myself on the other side of Newbury (the JP Licks side) and in the gigantic 2 floor Jasmine Sola. I must say was shocked at the selection! I found many of the dresses I had been eyeing on various websites and I was able to try them on. The Sales Associates were very nice and helpful. The prices you pay in Jasmine Sola are the same prices you’ll pay on websites like shopbop and revolve but I always check the sites first– one of the dresses that I tried on and loved was only carried in two colors at Jasmine Sola but I know its carried in about 6 colors on shopbop. If anything Jasmine Sola is good for trying on the things that you’re going to purchase online!

Pretty, expensive clothes for skinny girls. My broke, size-​10 ass and I will continue to pick up knockoffs at Target.

I have to say that I love this store and love everything I have ever bought here. It is one of the best places to get designer jeans and they have a great selection (although they never go on sale). Pretty much everything else there does go on sale and I got a dress that was originally $ 400 for $ 80 so if you are willing to wait you can find some stuff for somewhat affordable prices. Shoes, and jewelry are also somewhat affordable– but this is more of a one or two cool, trendy items place to shop, not a place to buy your whole wardrobe.
I agree with many of the reviews that the service could use some work. It is very uppity when you first come in and I often think «you are being a snob to me… you can’t possibly get paid enough running the cash register to shop here.» Okay, sorry that was a little bitchy on my part… But once you start shopping and if you need help picking something out, then I find the staff to be quite friendly and helpful. At the Newton location one girl helped me pick out a pair of jeans bringing me countless different styles to try on and ultimately helping me make a decision.
It does make me a little nervous that college females are into the store as it is definitely pricey and I have been working for a while and can only afford it on a one item splurge and a gift to myself when I get a raise or promotion.
The locations vary greatly in selection the Warehouse store on Comm. Ave has a lot of stuff, and I personally like the Newton Center location– for service and variety. The in-​mall locations tend to be limited selection and have the worst service.

High end clothing at prices that are too high. Yes, I understand that Seven jeans cost a lot BUT they charge too much at this place! Ask the employees!
True story: I came here looking for jeans. I asked the sales person for help. She, being a nice person, told me not to bother buying them here because 1. their selection was limited and 2. the jeans were cheaper at Saks. Thanks to her I got my Seven jeans but didn’t overpay the way I would have here.
They basically overcharge on a lot of the stuff you can get at Saks and Neiman Marcus (which are very close by anyways).
I’ll give them a couple points since when they have a sale you can find some cute tops for pretty cheap and the jewelry can be interesting. Otherwise you’re better off at the high end department stores for your high end jean needs.

Okay, this review is for all locations, seriously. I feel bad about this because I do love many of the brands Jasmine Sola carries and do splurge there every now and then… in spite of the fact they are ridiculously expensive and I can certainly find the same stuff elsewhere for less. I am giving two stars because of the service and pretentious atmosphere. The staff often makes it feel like you are walking in to an exclusive club and you’re definitely NOT invited. The staff has rarely been openly helpful and everyone seems to have a bad attitude! ugh… and REAL sales would be cool too…

I always buy my jeans from jasmine sola! great selection!
Check out their website and print off the 10% off coupon and bring it into one of their stores– when your paying $ 200 for a pair of jeans-​$ 20 off helps ease the pain!!!

Overpriced. The only great thing about this location is their jean selection. Sign up for a session with their jean specialist who will help you weed through all the cuts, colors, and fancy schmancy labels to find you the perfect pair.

Wayyy overpriced. Way overpriced– just wanted to emphasize that this store is way overpriced. Clothes are fun. Shoes are so much fun that Jasmine now has its own shoe store. Jewelery is fun but so much money for costume. And frankly, I don’t think anyone over 22 has a right to be shopping at Jasmine. I also find lately that if you don’t weigh 100 lbs, and fit into a size 0, all of the clothes will be too small. Overrated but fun to browse, but frusterating because you will leave thinking you are fat– you’re not.

Love the classy and fun dresses I can find here. 95% of the female college population is in love with this store… that says something so check it out. I especially love the show collection they have going on. I find the shoes to be resonalbly priced while other things are more on the higher end. Seven jeans, juicy, etc.
