But their store at Yonge and Dundas is as great with perhaps a better inventory. I agree with Lauren in that it is less busy than the Yonge and Dundas store which I prefer, and I have no real problem with them having a smaller inventory than the other downtown store. I wouldn't say that it offers anything extraordinary that is not seen in other stores, they have a sale section that can see you grab some nifty swag for the $20 price range, and most of their newer styles will cost you closer to a $100 (I'm talking about the guy options here), but I've always been happy with my Guess purchases. It is the friendly staff that make me enjoy walking in here so if you're strolling around Queen St W, it wouldn't hurt for you to pop in to this store.

The "collection" is different than in the regular stores and a few differences includes the fabric types, fewer styles and less attention to detail.

You can find some deals here and try everything on as the fit is different with the outlet collection.

They've been in business for 34 years so they know exactly what they're looking for when taking in items and have a great selection at all times, as a result! If you are interested in selling them your women's clothing, the boutique expect's all incoming items to arrive dry cleaned and on a hanger. The store is located on 3 levels with sales upstairs, as well as hand bags, stunning shoes and boots, gowns, caocktail dresses and more. The main floor has new arrivals and tonnes of designer brands from around the globel; Gucci, Chanel, Prada and on and on. Some items cost hundreds of dollars but are a fraction of the regular price and sometimes, hot off the runway. This floor also has a great collection of designer hand bags, shoes and jewellery, the most exclusive of which are always located at the front counter, where you may ask to see them! 2nd Nature really is a gem, I would give the store a perfect 5 except for the staff. Their customer service can be very good but it really depends who's serving you and some store staff and clientelle alike can be rude. I think being surrounded by stunning Jimmy Cho's all day might go to their heads a little bit- LOL

I phoned again 2 months ago, left a message complaining about the poor service and finally had a call back. They claimed that no one got my messages which I find hard to believe as I was very clear in my messages, leaving my call back number and name, and description of items. Talked with one salesperson and she told me that she would get back to me when they located the items but, they are extremely busy with consignments so it may take some time. I am still waiting. My feeling is, they cannot find my earrings or, they did not sell in due time so they sent them, who knows where? I will not recommend consigning your goods here as they appear to be evasive.

The staff was great. The group of guys who worked that day were all friendly and engaging. They were pushy and very helpful. The store is kind of enormous with tons and tons of stuff, mostly clothing (men's and women's) with other cool accessories, bags, shoes, etc. They had a lot of cool Toronto t-shirts there perfect for the tourist like me and the local who wants to rep their city. Prices were reasonable to slightly high depending on how you gauge things. I could have definitely bought more here but I was trying to watch my budget- I couldn't blow all of my money on my first shopping trip. This is the perfect place to pick up a gift for someone, whether that someone is you is to be determined. And if I'm in that part of town when I'm back in Toronto, I'll be back for sure.

It was always the brands that got me hooked on Neon -- Vans, Converse, Doc Martens and now Kodiak boots along with clothes from Element. Their latest signature line is from Fjällräven Kånken in Sweden where everything they make is a hit, all killer and no filler sort of thing. Expensive, but worth it for anyone who is active. Some of their products are more technical in nature but the colours and styles are outstanding and tasteful.

Joe Fresh is great for that. Basic tees, basic track pants, simple but cool sweaters and baseball 3/4 tees, and flannel pants to lounge in at home in comfort. I love all the ideas of basic, easy and very comfortable clothes. I really think that both men and women like this very simple idea which is not represented out there In the retail market today. I'm reviewing the store at 60 Carlton St. specifically, which is contained in the old Maple Leaf Gardens which is now a massive, well done everything store you could want grocery extravaganza! They did this Canadian historical building justice; that's very important. Joe Fresh is located on the 2nd floor easily accessible right at the front door with an escalator or elevator (thanks for keeping people with accessibility issues in mind). I'd say that this is probably the second largest Joe Fresh. There is a larger one on St. Clair West but fir us downtown people, travekking out to St. Clair West isn't in my playbook. That being said, and here's where some negative criticism comes in but with the amount of space they have (it IS a large Joe Fresh), I would say the stock for men vs women on the floor is about 30% - 70% , respectively. Retailers these days are odd - they believe that men do not seem to understand that men enjoy shopping as well so like usual, like every retail store or retail chain out there, Joe Fresh has given literally a small cut out section of the entire floor to men and the rest is of course women's clothes. (I guess good for women, of course). But that is typical retail floor planning and Joe Fresh does the same thing very well. Joe Fresh, take into consideration that there are plenty of men , especially in this neighborhood, who love shopping. You have to give the male audience just as much air time as women. Joe Fresh , when they started off, I thought they were going to finally go that route but at this location, stock for men, space allotted for men is again, compromised. A couple of quick notes, the store is no more than the old concrete shell of the Maple Leaf Gardens, and that's concrete floor, concrete beams and columns which is kind of modern but the floor is very hard in your feet and legs (may sound trivial but it's not) and that they cannot change, I get that. This is a historical building so many things they cannot just rip out and I don't think , like many Canadians would want that per se. Second, customer service , like many others Joe stores I've read about and visited is not wonderful; hell it is sparse. Finding someone generally is not easy unless you get help at the cash register; there were no staff around , floating on the floor for assistance. Joe Fresh, take note, YOU REALLY NEED TO HAVE YOUR ENGAGE YOUR CUSTOMERS MORE. Those customers are there , spending and in turn, laying your employees and keeping store locations alive. I think from the start, and reading others' reviews, this has been a big challenge and I don't know why. I can say it drives nuts when you see , literally, no staff on the floor. Oh, my bad, as for the maybe 40 minutes I was in the store, I saw one person on the floor but he was stock I think more so than a sales person. Joe Fresh, you really have to train staff to not be afraid of customers - or at least have sales people on the floor. I couldn't find my size in a men's awesome basic tee; after a while, I just put it back on the shelf because I needed someone to come to me (that's what customer service is) and see if I needed help. I mean someone at the cash must have seen me looking like I wanted help but no one approached. Lost sale there. Oh, an interesting observation, and I don't know what it is but the 2 people at cash were so completely bored, I assume with nothing to do (you could have come and helped me, lol !),they both had some pretty sour looks on their faces - they were utterly bored , and you know what? For a retailer, that shows big time. It sets the vibe for just not a very fun or entertaining or friendly place TO shop. Not much else to say. Prices are great but you do get what you pay for so keep in mind - I walked out with 2 sweaters and socks for about 35$. Not bad at all. Just watch the quality, and hold onto your receipts. Oh, one very cool thing. You can use your PC points for shopping. So for this location, in this historical building, I rated it a 3/5. Definitely the largest store (all being relative) downtown and worth a visit.

You can't wear this to impress your date. You will look like a walking IKEA - sporting trendy fashion manufactured in 5 minutes by cheap laborers. Joe's sense of style is similar to LACOSTE and Ralph Lauren - hip, fashionable professional walking down the street of New York and Toronto. Trendy but not pretentious. This style is hard to find at a cheap price. Zara and H&M offer a more GQish look that will make your mother squirm (and smile) if she's not used seeing you wearing a very tight fit pair of jeans. Or can be too trendy for some people. There are tons of good items though. Slippers, shorts and sports shirts where quality does not matter (a lot). Do I recommend this? Oh for sure. Let hubby pick up vegetables downstairs as you try on new sports shirts.
