For me, the issue with Express is that the quality did not match the price. Selling a polyester blazer for $150 dollars when I can get a 100% linen or cotton blazer for the same price or less depending on where I shop. Express does have nice designs, but if I wanted to buy fast fashion, then I'd just shop at H&M, Forever21, Fashion Nova, Shein, Pretty Little Things, or Temu.

Their quality was so bad for years. Everything was falling apart after a few washes. I remember buying 2 of the 1MX shirts at the same time and just got a different color. The two fit me completely differently. I couldnt believe it They always did those BS sales too, where it was like spend $75 and get $15 off. But everything was priced at like $70 or $150. So it was just a crappy scheme to get you to spend more on their BS. Lastly, their dress clothes never really felt dressy….they felt like they were meant for clubbing or something. They never came off as ‘formal’.

I had no idea express filed for bankruptcy. It was my go-to store a decade ago….. I wish them luck.

Frankly, I’m surprised any of these mall stores survive anymore. Most people probably buy online now.

I used to shop there when I was college because it was a way for me to get stylish clothes that were much cheaper than Armani or Neiman Marcus but over the years the inventory for discounted retailers like Nordstrom Rack, Tj Maxx and Marshall’s have improved over the years where prices for designer clothes are now more competitive so that is where I shop now. I feel like the styles of Express has gone bland over the years and the quality is no longer justified for the price they are asking. It’s the same for Banana Republic, I used to buy a lot of their clothes but now I wouldn’t even consider it.

Rlly? Express jeans are usually under 100 dollars, I’ve seen some for sale for below 50 frequently online.

Express has declined in quality and it is extremely behind on trends. It took them forever to start offering wide leg jeans, low rise, crop tops, expand body contour line, and offer non-office clothing. Aritzia is a similar store in terms of clothing style and price, but they emphasize a better customer experience and modern branding

As a buyer from express. I would say their dress pants and socks are things worth buying. Shirts don’t last that long

There jeans fit me perfectly! It sucks that they are going to be closing

I absolutely LOVE thier clothes🖤

I'm actually pretty surprised, every time how I walk in i feel like I'm in Brunello Cucinelli but like a little more cheap expensive version, it would feel like luxury and had the old money style so I'm pretty surprised.

I loved Express. I still have so many of their clothes that’s lasted me since high school (8+ years ago)

I used to work for this brand in their Times Square location!.!.

Informative

wow i was really looking forward to that bankruptcy sale….

A lot of people are looking for affordable quality. If these legacy mall brands were better at advertising and guaranteeing this they’d be more competitive to Zara, Shein, Target, etc.

It's too damn hot to play dress up at Express' prices!

I used to like express, even back when it was structure. I feel like the quality just got worse and worse through out the years. I stopped something because the quality was just horrible and a shirt would look like trash after 3 or 4 washes.

Express was my go-to for clothing from 2017 to 2019. I considered my style to be "elevated basics" -- tops with an interesting detail like frilly sleeves or a sweetheart neckline -- and Express was (and still is) the best option for this type of clothing. Although they were pricy, I would always wait until what I wanted would go on clearance + an extra 50 or 60% off, and I'd stack $10 reward and a free shipping coupon on top of the discount. But between the fact that I bought a ton clothes a few years ago and the fact that I work from home most days, I don't really need to add any more clothes to my wardrobe. Additionally, something else happened to turn me off from Express: their quality and sizing isn't as consistent as it used to be. I've always been a size large at Express, even when I was 15 pounds heavier. But last summer, I bought 3 blouses from Express and the sizing was terrible for two of them. One I had to size up to an XL; the other I was in between sizes: and this was even though I was 15 pounds lighter! The last blouse fit great, but the material started pilling within an hour of me wearing the blouse. So it looks like Express has chosen the "fast fashion, worse quality" route (except they haven't lowered their prices). It makes me sad to say this, because I still really like the clothing options at Express.

Love express tops. I always shopped online because they had special sizes. The last year or so, they stopped carrying the special sizes completedly so I stopped shopping there.

Love there clothes stylish good price and quality

Pre-pandemic I used shop at their stores often. I loved and still do love their designs. Especially the shirts, sweaters and cardigans. However their prices have gotten way out of my budget and with inflation hitting everywhere else in the economy, it’s hard to justify spending that much money on clothes item. To add I’m working at home now so there’s no need to look good anymore. H&M is a lot more reasonable, even though tbh their quality is nowhere near that of Express.

Honestly never paid attention to express when it was popular bc I was too young lol. Now that I’m in my early 30s, I love the brand so much. To me, the price isn’t bad for the quality, and fits my 5’8 pear shape body perfectly :)

In the 90s and very early 00s, Express had great quality clothes which warranted the high price tag. I had jeans, slacks, and collared shirts that lasted YEARS (even with weekly washing). Around 2005/2006, they must have changed buyers because the quality fell off quickly and was no longer worth what they were charging. Such a shame because I was a loyal customer!

Hell. I went there in 2005 because of the fashion. Tried to force myself to go back a few times. But every time, the prices never matched the quality. I can't imagine how much worse it got since then. It's never had a good quality meets price ratio lol

To be honest I haven't step foot inside an Express store cause I simply can not justify paying ridiculous Express price! The quality don't even match!

When they where Structure they were way better years ago the sales are scams & the biggest issue is definitely the $prices$ I haven’t shopped there in years.

Some of their styles are in a weird limbo. “Where would I wear this?” Too dressy for work, too casual for a dressy environment. These companies that have been around for a while need to stop trying so hard to be fashion forward and go back to the archives and reintroduce top sellers. I just got an incredible Express top but it was the last one. The fit was impeccable so I could see why it sold out. If they had more colors of that style I’d buy em up. But I’m a fashion school dropout so they’d never consider hiring me in corporate even though I’m apart their target audience. The fashion industry is so stuck up in regards to hiring people who are genuinely passionate and have the talent and drive to make much needed improvements.

Does it need to? Do we need this brand as a society? They had a model based around the mall and the mall went away. So express goes away, I’m not sure society cares about this brand anymore? It’s not critical to our existence as a species. Let’s move on.
