Excellent customer service! I needed to do an exchange and the staff went above and beyond to make…read morethe experience great. They helped me locate the item, they were helpful explaining the exchange, and they were very kind! The store is smaller but has a fabulous selection of styles and sizes. It is like walking through the J.Crew catalog of the good old days. The mannequins and store arrangement are easy to shop and inspiring.

My review is based on the on-floor customer service experience. The staff is not all created…read moreequal. You could easily tell who really wanted to help the customers and they were usually helping multiple people at once and were lovely. Then you saw others just walking around helping no one which is not helpful at all. Since I was not the one shopping (my sister was) I was observing more than anything. I will say that the 3 stars is because of the rep we worked with who was lovely. However, when she radio'd to check for an item for us, she was told that Yes they have it, but it is on a mannequin and would not allow for it to be removed. They could have put a different size on the mannequin with some push pins and allow the salesperson to make the sale, but NO. I found this odd and disappointing.

I absolutely love this place. The staff is always so fun to shop with-I enjoy their energy and the…read moreclothes are one of a kind. Can wait to ship again here!

They offer items that you can wear to all different kinds of events; most being very unique. Lots of the stuff isn't my style, but I did see a few items I liked. Sadly, they either didn't fit right or were too expensive for me. The biggest turn off were the employees. They are loud and rude and not helpful. There was a dressing room open so I went to use it and an employee nearly bit my head off for doing so cuz, apparently, it was reserved for his "client." Not sure how I was supposed to know that. I left immediately after that as I will not shop somewhere that treats me like that.

They were always helpful. I had got some custom tags for my jeans, some skinny jeans I got I had to order in cause you know they don't sell skinny's, which is so fucking stupid. Why do you not sell skinny's because it's not in trend like man what the fuck anyways I got some skinny to get those custom tags when I say custom tags you know you're Levi tags you can put like Custom Levi tags and have Malter on there for you but yeah they're awesome now I don't know why they got fucking 3.5. This is my second second time like coming in and checking out. They've always been really helpful so but I guess everybody's different. Everybody gets a different experience so is what it is but I've always had good experience with these people so they get five fucking stars

Marine Layer's catalog intrigued me and I decided to stop in to their Bucktown location when I was doing some shopping in the area. I admire the casual yet polished aesthetic embodied by this brand. Oftentimes this is more difficult to pull off than one would think, either skewing more athletic (Lululemon or Athleta) or effortless but requiring a commitment to ironing (J. Crew). These brands have a place, but I feel Marine Layer hits that sweet spot and, most importantly, the fabrics are SOFT! Wandering around the store was a relaxing experience (this location offers women's, men's, and kids' clothing). I found myself eyeing several t-shirts and sweaters, finally winding up with a cropped black linen blend chore jacket that will be a great transitional piece going into autumn. The prices are a little more expensive for casual wear but the fact is that quality and the sustainable practices used by this clothing company cost more. I am finding myself gravitating toward more laid-back, yet put together styles these days and find this store fits the bill perfectly. Looking forward to working more of these items into my rotation of staple pieces.

I was extremely curious to get a chance to check out the store for their soft grand opening and was absolutely pleased. The store sits on Damen, but upon walking in, you are taken to that California state of mind. The clothing definitely reflects a cool Cali style, while boasting in-between sizes for men like "Marge" (in between Medium and Large) or "Larger" (in between Large and XL). Can we say genius!? I tried on a cotton hoodie and didn't want to take it off! CLOUDS!!! I fell in love with their scarves bought a gray and white infinity scarf that has the feel and look of your favorite soft joggers and it goes with everything! Best of all, their clothes won't shrink since they're preshrunk! Eek! The clothes are a little pricey, but you honestly cannot put a price on quality clothing that you wont have to worry about being unwearable after it's gone through the washer a few times. It's worth it!

The store is divided into 2 sections of clothes. The stuff on the left side of the entrance are more formal wear. Slacks, dresses, skirts, formal and party tops can be found here. The right side of the store contains casual wear - jeans, t-shirts, active wear, lounge wear, etc. They have a policy where you can't try on their clothes. Period. But you can return items within 14 days just as long as you have all the tags in place and the receipt. Shoes, however, you can try on. I love how everything is organized and you can see where mostly everything is. Makes it so much easier to shop and mix and match outfits!
