Urban Outfitters

Urban Outfitters is an evil anti-​gay company with poorly made clothes.

I prefer to purchase UO stuff online but sometimes have to come in to return or exchange things. I like this location — it’s spacious and items are laid out nicely. The staff is friendly (most UO locations can’t say the same) and they have a great SALE area in the back of the store.

Did it recently become the accepted norm for people to take their dogs into random stores? Today we went into Urban Outfitters on Pearl St. A girl came in with a pitbull like dog. It shit on the floor 3 feet away from my 2 year old son. Offended, Yes! Seriously, I like dogs but there are certain places I don’t want to see them, unless they are service dogs. I don’t think I will be buying anything when poop is on the floor next to me. Also, I don’t care if your dog is nice, keep him on a leash and away from my son. It only takes once for your dog not to be nice and my child is not going to be in the way of that. I don’t know you, your dog, so why would I trust your incompetence?
I did not want to shop here because no one told this lady to take the dog outside. Why does a dog need to be in Urban Outfitters??? (Boulder, check it! Just like the dog I saw a few weeks ago in Target at the Pharmacy) Leave him outside or at home… or don’t go shopping when you should be OUTSIDE walking your dog.
Thanks!

2012 Review #24:
If I were 15, and I were reviewing the Urban Outfitters of 10 years ago, then this would be 5 stars. 10 years ago Urban Outfitters in Boulder was the only one in Colorado. It might as well have been a second-​hand or vintage store. It was the place to go for Hipster clothing before there was a word for hipster, and before people knew what hipster was. I was a vegetarian and I got a «please don’t eat me» pig T-​shirt here. I got a boston terrier T-​shirt before boston terrier’s were trendy, and 7 years before I got my boston terrier. It’s like UO was predicting my life or something. I distinctly remember walking in one day and all the practical, monochromatic, every-​day turtlenecks were $ 10.
But…now things have changed. You couldn’t find a practical sweater to save your life. If you did, perhaps it would be $ 10 because it wouldn’t be ironic, but good luck finding it. The amount of actually aesthetically appealing clothing has dwindled considerably, and is now a strange mix of hideous sweaters draped over extremely short skirts. Pair it with a weird fisheye camera and a giant chunky watch, and you’ve got yourself a typical Urban Outfitters outfit. Oh, and 10 years ago it would have cost a combined total of $ 50. Now, try $ 250.
Urban Outfitters has now very much found its niche, but now it’s just not practical for your average person. This has now morphed into the type of store where I cannot shop because I might run into one of my students here. Or, worse, I would show up to school wearing the same top as one of my students. If I were 14 that’d be a faux pa, but when you’re the teacher of a 14-​year-​old, that’s sort of a problem. Thus, Urban Outfitters is basically eliminating itself from my wardrobe. But if it were 10 years ago, I’d probably still be loving them.

Hottest dude ever works there… nuff sed.

First of all… I love Urban Outfitters. I am a true thrifter and love the vintage look so I don’t buy things here at full price. This is why I love the Urban Outfitters on Pearl.
I live in Denver but am willing to drive to this location when I need a good shop day! Not only is it next to one of my favorite restaurants (West End), it is one of the larger locations. It has three levels of goodies waiting for me to sift through. I especially love this location because their clearance section is one of the biggest and best priced. There is always a huge selection of sale stuff which is located downstairs.
Let’s cut to the chase. The BIGGEST reason this location rocks is the customer service. I have waited for things to go on clearance and they sell out, but MULTIPLE times the sales associates have been bound and determined to find me my garments on clearance at different stores (even calling many out of state locations). One girl that works here sat on the phone for an hour, didn’t have any luck, then made another call for me after I left. THEN she called me to update me with the results of the search.
Ultimately I have gotten everything I need, had unbelievable customer service, and will always be bringing my business here! It is quite a change of feel from the Urban at Park Meadows or Cherry Creek. This location is awesome, and I LOVEEEEE the associates that helped me. Thanks guys!

i’m a sucker for urban outfitters and couldn’t resist going to this one. found some cheap belts and notebooks, hats and bags and metal letter thingies. but not much along the lines of clothes on sale — which was disappointing. oh well, still liked my loot!

I was a little hesitant to move out of state all on my own. Then I found out that my new home «Boulder» had a URBN and I figured whatever else happened at least I knew my wardrobe would be half decent.
This URBN is really nice. There are 3 different levels for girl, boy, and apartment. Though it’s not always divided up the same way. Yes this store absolutely kills the Denver stores! In fact I think it was even better than the location in San Francisco (also 3 levels). The clothes here are really cute and well merchandised throughout the store. The biggest perk (besides convenient Pearl Street location) is the sale section. I don’t know where the have it now. But the sale section used on the lowest (underground) level with the sale section taking up almost half of the floor. It’s good stuff on sale too and the discounts are enormous. The staff was all really nice to.
You’ll have to get street parking though. There are also paid parking in garages but it’s so easy to find parking in all the residential neighborhoods next to Pearl that you really don’t need to used the Garage. Unless you are going to the bars late at night.

This location in Boulder trumps Denver’s store, 10 times. Or more.
Interesting layout. 3 floors. The main level has accessories, and some women’s clothing. The bottom is more women’s clothing, home décor, and those silly books (Sex-​Position-​A-​Day? Please, that’s so 2001). The top is men’s, and maybe a bit more women’s clothing.
Last time I went, there was some kind of interesting nail polish art deco display. I like a store that gives me something to look at while I shop (or is that their way of trying to get me to mindlessly buy more stuff?).
The staff will leave you to shop by yourself (except for that one woman who was staring at my Powell’s Sweet Shoppe bag like it owed her rent money. Nope, you ain’t getting my candy, lady!).
Add in a larger selection of shoes and more sales racks, and it’s my kind of place.

I assume all who read this review already know what an Urban Outfitters is like — full of mannequins wearing like 5 layers of shirts, each of which costs $ 60, and tights under frayed leggings under ripped jeans under a dress. With shiny gold flats or something.
Yes, the Urban Outfitters atmosphere is unmistakable. Hipster staff who call out their greetings with well-​hidden eye-​rolls. Shelves of books about poop, risk-​taking, people in underwear, and drinking. Shelves of pants that are all the same length. Giant random beanbag chairs in the furniture section. About ¾ of the floor being wearable clothes and the other quarter being some kind of joke, because who is going to wear pants whose crotch is purposefully at the knee when the waist is up around your boobs? Or a pair of shorts that are designed to look like diapers? Or a shirt that has a pair of scratchy, glittery appliqué cherries on it?
If you’re the type of person who would wear any of the above things, by all means get your ass to UO posthaste and begin setting whatever trends you hope to set.
But for the rest of us… the nice thing about UO is it’s always trying to start or follow trends, but more often than not, the trends fail, or they move by very quickly. Remember culottes? Floor-​length poofy skirts? No? Well, they’re all in the basement clearance section of UO, going for a pittance. Which is when I swoop in and clean up. I find floor length poofy skirts fun, and I don’t care whether they’re in fashion or not. I feel the same way about a bunch of other things that were once on the main floor, going for $ 75 or whatever. I wouldn’t want to wear them for $ 75, but I certainly want to wear them 3 months later for $ 9.99!
So in summary: Main floor: bizarre, interesting, but way expensive. Clearance section: cemetery of dead trends for the thrifty buyer who’s too scared to set foot in an actual thrift store!

What? The first review of U.O. Boulder is by a guy (read fashion nincompoop) like me? I was only here because my girlfriend walked in (and probably was the only guy around for 10 minutes).
The layout of the store was cute and chic, and from the perspective of this fashion nincompoop the clothes were likewise cute and chic.
They did have some neat Obama T-​shirts that aren’t found elsewhere.
