I love shopping here. Great trendy styles that won't burn a hole in your pocket! They sell everything from clothes, shoes, accessories, makeup, and perfume. 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! read more

Discovery Clothing - Women's Clothing Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

One of those fun party fashions stores to look around in. They have lots to look at, and so convenient, as it is right across the street from the Belmont Blue Line station and 77 Belmont Bus stop. So if you just missed the bus, you can always take a few minutes to cool off or keep warm browsing there and maybe find something ! read more

Discovery will and always will be one of my favorite places to go to buy affordable clothing. The people that work there are typically friendly and helpful. When I can't find dress in my size, they will check every location to see what store is closest to me that has the dress I want. They have a huge selection of shoes and jeans. I don't think that this location has panties or bras, but maybe they will add that section at a later date. I like how I can bye five to seven things and walk out spending less then$20. It's a magical experience for those on a budget but still want to look supa fly. read more

Donna is great, she greets the customers as they enter into the store, she's friendly, helpful she talks with the customers as she checks them out, she's just a wonderful happy person ! read more

My work uniform is black and I was looking for items with more style and better fit, and some is good, but a lot is very risqué and not my style. It reminds me of Wet Seal which I thought was cool when I was in high school....I'm showing my age, I guess. Lol. There is a lot of variety here for low prices, so I was able to find things for work and a bit for everyday wear. The customer service was polite and helpful and since this is off the Belmont bus, I'll be back for sure. read more

I can't understand giving Discovery a bad review. It is what it is. Cheap stuff. It's about the same quality as buying things on the street in Paris. You have to realize it might work and it might not work. Recently I bought a pair of skinny jeans in the smallest size but they are too large. It didn't seem as if they make returns so I came to Yelp to find out. I guess I am stuck with flaky jeans and missing $14.99. It's not that bad. I will take them to a second hand store with the tags on so someone else can have them. Second hand stores have dressing rooms! I won't buy jeans again but it's still a neat place for tops, gloves, hats, costume jewelry. I don't buy plastic so I skip the shoes or purses. Also the employees are always polite and nice. Sometimes they ask me to check my purse and I just take out the usual stuff. It's not a big deal. read more

It's been years since I've shopped at a Discovery. If you saw me back when I was a little 21 year old club rat, you'd think the store threw up on me! My style has changed since then and I no longer have a need for bedazzled polyester clothing. Boyfriend lives in the area and we always pass by so it was bound to happen. The cute maxi dresses in the window beckoned me inside on a warm, sunny spring day. While this store is still full of bedazzled, polyester hoochie momma clothing, I found a lot of cute things! I'm a sucker for vintage style blouses and found plenty here, as well as a dress, linen shorts and a knit tank to throw on for upcoming beach days. Another thing that hasn't changed: no dressing rooms! I wanted to try on some of the cute rompers, but I have no clue what size I would be. I also have to exchange my shorts for a different size and return the dress because it isn't flattering. :( read more

Alright seriously, $13 sun dresses. Not just tiny above-the-knee-length club wear but also long ones that offer a little more coverage for those of us not in our 20s. Every color, light fabrics and knits, florals and solids - my head was spinning at the possibilities. I picked up about 14 to try on since I didn't know much about their cuts or fits, but as I looked around I made my own Discovery - no fitting rooms. Not even a single corner to hide in while I pull things over or shimmy into. Know what that means? Either buy 15 dresses and prepare to return them (in 96 degree heat, for instance) or suck it up and buy the ones you think are the best. Which is what I did. The staff graciously took the 10 dresses back that I didn't want to purchase, I picked up the other four and after a bit of time in the check out, I got them home to try them on. Give yourself plenty of time for the line, with no changing rooms it means lots of people waiting to make returns and exchanges. So why after the criticisms and annoyances, am I still giving four stars? $1.50 bangle sets $10 ballet flats $13 sun dresses $4 tank tops $6 sunglasses $2 nail polish ...Need I say more? read more

Oh Discovery, your clothes are so poorly made, but I'll be damned if I can't pull a cute find or two here every once in a while. I'm no socialite, but Kanye West explains it best with the line "single black female addicted to retail." Initially, I was floored at the sheer amount of clothing at bare bones prices. Obviously, I wasn't expecting these items to last more than that particular season, but an inexpensive "going out" shirt for $10 is a steal even if it's only worn once. After 30 minutes, I had two armfuls of clothing and frantically searched for the dressing room only to find out that there were none. Stop. Wait. What? No dressing room? I was told by the staff that costs were kept down by the reduction of theft due to the dressing rooms being removed. This is understandable, but there is NO way I am buying a pair of pants unless I see how/if they fit on my tush. NO way. In the end, both I and my roommate only left with a few shirts that could be (as suggested by the employees) tried on over the tank tops we were already wearing. We both left spending about $20 each when we easily had over $100 in clothing in our hands prior to being informed of the lack of dressing room options. Rarely do I purchase everything I bring into a dressing room and, I'm not too keen on having to make a return within 7 days of every visit. What they save in theft prevention, they likely lose in lowered sales. Had we shopped in the winter we probably wouldn't have bought anything. My roommate and I have thrown out the idea of coming here the split second that they open on a day midweek and shopping in our underwear so we could try on everything in the store. That'd be an interesting update to write. read more

I love the girls the work here and their outfits. Just look the next time you go, you'll see what I mean. Hey, I don't know anywhere else where I can buy 2 pairs of jeans, 5 tank tops, 3 tees and other misc shirts/accessories for under $100. Some of the clothing here is absolutely hideous and some is very poorly made. but if you know what to anticipate you can end up with a few cute, basic additions to your wardrobe for very cheap. Going home with a bag full of clothes and not breaking the bank - sounds like a good day to me! read more

Cheap and trendy clothes. Some are horribly cheap looking but some are nice. I bought a sweater here last winter (I was a little broke and wanted something to cheer me up and make me feel pretty) and every time I wear it I get tons of compliments on it. One girl in my office asked if I got it at Marshall Field's...she thought it was $200!! Nope, $25. ;) I stop in every 6 months or so to pick up something trendy that I don't want to spend a lot of money on or when my budget is feeling a little stretched out. I also agree that it sucks to not be able to try the things on, but they have a two week return policy (for a refund, otherwise I think that it's store credit) so you can always return items if you don't like them. read more

This place is CHEAP!!!! $4 tank tops, $14 dresses??? Where am I??? Cheapy, cheapy, cheapy....wow. So I guess this place is good for tee shirts, tanks, sundresses, etc...nothing too exciting but to save an extra buck on some stuff, I would say this place is great. Definitely cheaply made so dont expect Nordstrom quality here You cannot try on the clothes so you just have to hope for the best...I mean, I dont think they have anything here for over $20 so its not the end of the world if it doesnt fit. They also have some cool accessories for cheap too. Check it out if you can handle something a little ghetto, a little different.... read more

Cheap as can be clothes but they tried to check my bag when my girlfriend and other women were walking through with even larger bags! This is the same store that has a wild west styled bounty posting on their entrance featuring a woman (with bag). I am not her! I felt extremely UNCOMFORTABLE and now I'm TRIGGERED whenever I walk by this local thot store. One star for discriminatory bag checks that are not awesome. But two stars because you can get four outfits for $20. Which is awesome. read more

This Discovery is so awesome. Way less ghetto and crazy than the one in Little Village. Still no dressing rooms, but the return policy is the same as all the other locations. The prices are unbeatable for both generic basics like tanks and one time impulses like $12 dresses. I'm not kidding my NYE dress this year was $12 and I looked hot. The lines can be a little bit long but they're pretty good about moving people through. The stock is updated often and while some of the stuff is ridiculous and ugly, there are always a few things worth picking up. You can't expect things you get here to last forever, but it's a great place to indulge your disposable wardrobe. read more

4 stars because it doesn't have changing rooms.. but don't fret. You can return in 14 days no questions asked. Find things you like.. buy...try at home...and return. No big deal. Once you find a size that fits...it pretty much applies to any jeans etc. they carry. My daughter's just know what size they are and pick from there. No problems. Everything fits like a glove. Yeah, so it isn't the best made stuff...but with the styles coming in and out as they do.. this is perfect! Cheap prices, constantly chaning selection of awesome clothing. It's the MECCA of all stores for preteen and teenage girls and some "young 20 somethings" to shop for trendy clothing. Even older people can find some basic nice clothing here too. The clothing holds up pretty good for the season you purchased it for. Depends on how often you wash...but honestly pretty good. Check it out!! read more

Cute clothing for very inexpensive price. But of course, you get what you pay for --the quality is not the greatest and the items won't last that long but from what I can tell, it seems that Discovery is starting to actually have more options. They even started selling shoes - a pretty good selection at that. This is my favorite Discovery so far. The products and inventory seem to come to this store faster than other ones in the city. Plus, free parking in the lot near Aldi and Best Buy. read more

This is one of my favorite places to shop. I don't understand the complaints about the quality of the merchandise. Of course the clothes aren't well made. That's why they only cost $10. If you're trying to buy something that you can hand down to your daughter as an heirloom outfit, this obviously isn't the place to go. But if you want to buy a few sundresses to expand your summer wardrobe, or if you want to buy a trashy outfit to wear to the club a few times, Discovery is perfect. I hate the lack of dressing rooms. So obnoxious. But last time I went, I bought everything that I thought might possibly work, and that was only $100. Then, after I tried it all on at home, I returned half of it for a full refund. Not as nice as trying them on in the store, but a small annoyance is worth the ability to get 4 dresses, a shirt, and a pair of sunglasses for $50. read more

Discovery is where I go for that emergency outfit (yes, you know how women are). Meaning.. if i'm broke and i MUST have a new outfit.. this is where I go. The quality of the clothes are decent for their price. Some are put together well, and then there are some shirts that fall apart after washing. The fabric on their tan and white colored dress pants are a little too thin... but their jeans are great! I love their accessories and their prices! I should also mention that their bras are pretty decent as well. What I really hate about this place is that you can't try anything on. I suppose this decreases the amount of theft that happens in the store. read more

Not my taste of a store at all. So cheap looking. Feels like a place for club goers and hoochi mama's. But my friend loves it. She always wants me to buy her stuff there. I tried the website they dont have an online collection. I tried to go over to the store and take pictures so my friend can choose..but NOT allowed. WHY? For safety reasons...was the answer. No, not my kind of store. read more

Honestly if I could give this discovery 0 stars I would. But one is fine for the clothes. The girls who work here have THE WORSE attitude I've ever witnessed. I've been to so many discovery's and NEVER had issues with returns but for some reason this discovery won't let you return anything. Even if brand new. When I first walked in it was attitude right away. Like damn I barley came in, why are you all so mad ?? NEVER again. read more

It's like Charlotte Russe on steroids. Definitely worth checking out if you are into the urban-chic-sometimes-bording-on-hoody-rat look. very trendy and, as I imagine, not the highest quality clothing. But if you spend some time there (it's vast), I think you can find some great disposable clothes. And for those of us who can't afford new designer pieces every season but still wanna dress in fairly current styles, this is a great place to check out. Obviously the lack of dressing rooms really puts a damper on things. But still worth my 8 awesome tops (stylish sweaters and such) at an average of $12 per pop. Bottomline: Not for the JCrew or Banana Republic crowd. But more for the Forever 21 and Delia's who need a little more grown up stuff...not THAT much more grown up. read more

Employee at the door was extremely rude and accusatory when I walked in. She told me I needed to leave my purse at the front door to enter, and smirked at me when I asked if they at least had a locker or secure room where I could leave it while I shopped. While this was happening, multiple other women walked in with large purses or backpacks and were not stopped. I am not a fan of being treated like a thief because someone ELSE stole merchandise from their store, no matter how affordable their clothing is. I took my money elsewhere and will not be returning to this store. read more

Well, I should have read the reviews on this place before coming here! I hate buying clothes without trying them on! However, I have a pretty good idea what and what will not work for me, so I managed to get 3 articles of clothing and a purse for $49! I agree with previous reviews that some of the clothes are majorly trashy, but I managed to find some pretty good stuff, and to give you an idea of my taste in clothes, if I had enough money I would shop at Ann Taylor all the time. So there you go, know before you go that you can't try on clothes! read more

The store has a variety of items for you to mix and match with your own wardrobe. I completely agree that the clothing ranges from hooker to comfy summer wear. But don't scratch the store off your list, there are some decent pieces, you just have to look for them. You can't try on anything, which isn't that appealing. However, there is a 14-day return policy. You can't beat the prices. Beware - Wash your pieces with care and don't expect them to last for years. Easy access by way of the Blue Line - Belmont station. And, if you drive, you can park for free in the parking lot. read more

i love this place. i always saw the commercials for this store and was thinking what in the world - never had a desire to come in - until my friend brought me. now i'm hooked. this is the perfect place to go if i just feel like buying some new clothes for the hell of it but not feel guilty about the price. or even buy something i know i'll probably only wear once or twice, but am fine with it. the clothes definitely aren't the best quality, but you get what you pay for. it's annoying the first time when you go that there are no dressing rooms- then you remember the next times and aren't bothered. i think it is some sort of technique to get you to buy everything you want, even if you aren't sure it is going to fit, then when you go back to return a couple of things you end up perusing the store again and find even more things you like, exchange them, then ultimately pay a bit more than when you started. a vicious cycle. at least that's how it works for me.. read more

I didn't know what to expect from Discovery. I happened to get out at Belmont Blue line, and the Discovery Clothing is convenient located across from the El. I used to manage another competitor store in downtown Chicago and am so tired of clothing stores in general. I'm now managing a different type of retailer and have overcome my fear of coming into a store like Discovery. Well, what a discovery, I should say. The store was well-organized and divided evenly into two (2) sections: dressy and casual. If you barely have $30 in your pocket, I can walk out with a whole outfit! No kidding, I didn't see an item that's over $25 at all. Obviously, you get what you pay for. This old saying does apply at Discovery. Fabrics are cheap and most of all were made of polyester. However, they have lots of business casual basics and are great "The Limited" knockouts. Even if you're on the budget all the time, it's no guilt to shop there. If your mom gives you $100 for behaving yourself, you can revamp your new wardrobe with everything you want for the season. I know the staff is constantly watching for shoplifters. It's part of routine at this kind of retailer, so don't feel offended if they're looking at what you're doing. There's no fitting rooms, so buy what you want and return the ones don't work out later. I understand why not having fitting rooms for loss prevention purposes. It's one way to reduce external shrink so that they can keep the prices low. As consumers who like bargains, work with their policies and be happy that you gave choices of stores to shop. read more

This is my go to store for cheap "in between" size clothes. Meaning I have baby weight to lose and I am not spending a ton of money on a new wardrobe while I m losing weight. Discovery is perfect for my cause. The clothes are however exactly what you pay for - cheap. They are very cheaply made and won't last long. I recommend this place if that is what you are looking for. Thanks Discovery for getting me through until I am back in my normal nicer clothes! read more

I love that this place is so strange. One of the most bizarre mixes of people shopping in Chicago. I pretty much totally love it. I got a $5 swim suit here this summer. Yes, it pretty much disinigrated in the wash, but you get what you pay for. read more

I'm in my 40s and I can still find clothes for all occasions, yes some is what a person called risqué I find that a joke, add a scarf a hat cute duster and it works for all ages. They have all kinds of clothing, a basic white tee, to a maxi dress, shorts, jogging outfits. There sunglasses are a huge selection, bangles, flats, booties. Skinny jeans, stretchy jeans. Winter sweaters everything you want and the best part you get a bag full of clothes for 100.00. That's going high, I've walked out with three outfits for 40.00. If you know how to dress you can't go wrong, at my age I'm always asked where you get that outfit, it's all in the way you put clothes together. The only bad thing you can't try on, but If you know your body and know what works you will find something, if the dresses are to short wear tights or leggings. I've been shopping there sinse I was in my twenty's, and will countine to shop there till I'm gone. I've tried stuff on in the car ran back in and got a different size, or color. I highly recommend you give it a try before saying it's just for the young. No I'm not being paid to say these things. Discovery gives you a bang for your buck! I live in Chicago not California. I go to Kimball and Belmont the most but anyone will still give you awesome choices read more

I shop here when I need something for a night out or cheap tank tops to wear under sweaters. This store has turned me off from shopping at discovery anymore though. Discovery was made for teenage girls and early 20 something year olds. When you see mom's in their 30's and 40's shopping here for outfits for themselves it is kind of a turn off. Also this is the only location I have been to that makes you check your bags in. I brought in a medium sized purse in once and they made me check it in because I guess they have a theft issue. I complied and made sure to take my phone and wallet out though but it's pretty ridiculous that I had to check in a purse! I'm sorry but I've worked in clothing 5 years ago and we were way more concerned with those double wide strollers because moms used them as "shopping carts". read more

That store should be called like my wife name she loves it and me I love it because I walk in there and it feel like I am in a night club but as a guy u could find everything what ur girl want and that's what I love going to one store and share that it so guys this store is the place read more

This place is such a mess! I just came in here for the first time in a couple months and now o remember why! You canNOT shop comfortably around here, all these people with crazy ass kids running around, watch your damn kids!! On top of that, their clothes suck, the only reason why I still go here is for the $4.99 camis. One other plus is parking here is a breeze. read more

I affectionately call this Discovery "The Mecca" because it is the O.G. store. They are now all over the city and in my experience depending on which location you visit largely determines what you will find. This one on Belmont seems to stock the latest items but is usually the most picked over and there are usually very few items avalible in anything larger than a medium. However, any of the stores have the same basic principal, cheap clothes and lots of them. The other reviewers are right in stating that the quality of the clothes is not great but they do carry a lot of the labels you'd find in Penny's or Kohls. And there are indeed no changing rooms. My usual game plan is to buy everything I like and the return all that doesn't fit. I have never had an issue returning anything (except that I usually end up buying more clothes!!!). The sizes do tend to run small so if you are curvy it's gonna be tough to find things that fit. If you are a label loving rich socialite (because so many of us are) this is not the store for you. However, if you are looking for something cheap and cheerful that you do not expect to last forever then Discovery is a good place to try. A word of warning, all of the store get seriously busy on weekends so a weeknight is definately better if you don't want to shop with a bunch of kids running around. Oh and a hint, I've heard that the big delivery day is Tuesday so that's a good day to go to get first look at all the new loot and find the most variety in sizes. read more

go to place for a last resort. cheap clothes and cheap prices. They just need to stop with so many crop tops. Not everyone has a 15 year skinny waist. Selection of clothes are pretty wack lately. read more

its basically the only store i shop at. its great always loving their cheap cute clothing. but they should definitely have changing rooms.

I will not go back, their clothing is cheaply made, no fitting rooms to try anything on so you buy in hopes it fits. You have 14 days to return the items. I didn't make it back in time so now I'm stuck with their crap. Sales manager was very rude. I was never told about their return policy until I tried to return what I bought, I don't see them in business much longer. read more

I love the clothing at Discovery but hate that they don't have changing rooms. I try on 30 things sometimes to find one that fits and looks right, I do not want to buy 30 things and return them! What if one of my tags fall off when I get it home and I can't return it at all!!! Love the clothes, but their return policy guidelines are terrible and again what kind of retail store doesn't let you try stuff on! I couldn't even try it on over my pant's in the store! Very frustrating! I refuse to buy anything I can't try on! Sorry Discovery you lost my business!!!!!!! read more

I had a problem at discovery clothing coral spring locations when I asked to speak to the store manager I couldn't communicate whit her because she couldn't speak English that is unacceptable i'm regular costumer who will not be going to that location ever again is you speak English dont go there read more

I personally love this Discovery. Honestly, I came in here to get three items and stayed over three hours. Not only was I confused about what to get but wowed by some of the classy pieces they carry. The blazer I got for my birthday was a fiery red hotttttttttt!!!!!!!!! The heels I wore were the baddest, most beautiful in the club that evening and I was more than satisfied with the selected items. A lot of other Discovery clothing stores all look the same but not this one. For a 24 year old who doesn't want to look like everybody else walking up the street, this is the place to go. You can still get sexy and classy at the same time. Only problem I had was at the shoe area. Us women like to try on different shoes and the women seemed frustrated. In my opinion, if you don't like your job, CHANGE CAREER PATHS.............. I was still polite to her but she's the reason you guys got four stars. Other than that, I'll be back very soon and it's best I get there as soon as they open lol. read more
