H&M

I would say a 3.5 stars. Somewhat messy and associates don’t really speak to you. You just go in, try things on and check out. Check out their clearance items which are scattered around the store. From $ 1 to $ 15 or a little more depending on the items. I bought two $ 3 women short-​sleeve henleys, a $ 7 top and two $ 6 sunglasses. So, you don’t always have to spend a lot. Looking for the red signs is the way to go. They have a top and bottom level. Lower level are all women and the top level are for men and young children.
They are also doing a recycling donation where you can bring in your old clothes and they give you 15% off your next purchase. Instead of being in the landfills, they reuse the materials and make new garments and styles.

An H&M opening in Jacksonville was a big deal for my older children. I didn’t really see the appeal until I walked in and realized that I could outfit everyone-​my husband and myself included-​in my family in this store! My oldest son loves their pants here, and their pants for toddlers are reasonable too. All of my daughters have either bought dresses or shirts here too. The employees are friendlier, and if I walk in here, it’s a guarantee that I’ll walk out with something for someone. It’s just that type of store that caters to my children’s style.

H&M Is great for basics! Or for that funky piece to create your next party outfit. Part of me is kicking myself for not buying the white skirt with black cat print that I found in Lisbon last year. You won’t spend a ton of money at H&M so the quality of the clothes may surprise you. Typically if spending so little, I would expect the clothes to fall apart quickly. But they don’t.
This store, accessible on both levels, is a little smaller than some stores I’ve been in, but I’m definitely not complaining. Men’s can be found on the second floor with Women’s clothes and accessories on the bottom floor. I don’t make it to The Avenues (
) that often anymore, but I’ll have to give it another visit. They’ve been updating a lot of their stores and it’s a nice reprieve from the heat of SJTC.
