Rating Clothing Brands’ Changing Rooms

Many clothing stores have a mahusive (massive and huge) issue with their changing rooms and today we have decided it is unavoidable to highlight the most important changes that NEED to be made to just a handful of popular brands’ stores.

Brandy Melville

For some absurd reason, Brandy took one look at the design of their changing rooms and decided that yes, it is a good idea. Their changing rooms are tiny (making it very hard to try their ‘one size fits all’ clothing) and there are not nearly enough hooks in this space to place all the ten items of clothing I HAVE to try on (it’s a lifestyle not a choice). However, these issues are nothing compared to their biggest design flaw. Brandy (ever so kindly) thought that the one thing we need is a fan placed in the perfect trajectory to blow the curtains wide open (especially when in the midst of changing). This means that whilst trying on the thousand clothing options, you must ALWAYS have one hand (or foot in desperate times) shoving the curtain closed so you don’t expose yourself to unsuspecting members of society.

2 stars ⭐️⭐️: not impressed however bonus points for having hooks, even though there is never enough

Subdued

Not only do Subdued have next to zero space in their changing rooms and a lack of hooks but they also don’t have enough rooms. The sheer size of the queues in any Subdued on any random day is more than mildly horrifying. You have to wait a minimum of half an hour for the ten year olds (who skipped their awkward phase) to finish filing through their mountains of clothing that they try on. But at least these changing rooms have upgraded to Velcro straps on their curtains to prevent tired mothers waiting for their child to choose an item of clothing from seeing too much.

3 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️: slightly improved from Brandy (the Velcro straps)

Urban Outfitters

These changing rooms are small and have close to no hooks. On top of this they have graffiti and used gum covering every inch of the mirrors. At least they lock, though (only had a heart attack once when I couldn’t unlock) and they have plenty of changing rooms so there is no need to wait in a ridiculously long line.

2 stars ⭐️⭐️: can’t see the clothes….maybe that’s the point

Hollister

Honestly, it’s the best by far. These changing rooms are incredibly spacious, have a door, lock fully and have more than enough hooks. They were so close to perfection if only they could double the number of rooms in order to half the insane queue, but even that’s okay. The real problem is the lighting. They have yellow, green, blue but no white. I have to exit the changing rooms in order to see what colour clothing I’m wearing which is (tremendously) horrifying if it doesn’t fit quite right….

4.2 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.2 : extra points for effort

Xoxo,
