Charlotte Russe. Most of their stuff seems more wearable in my life, and their sizing is more consistent.

Hm… a toss-up indeed.
I have had one CR blouse in my life, and it lasted forever. I’ve never worn F21, but I look at their site a lot, and I recently ordered clothes to try out. Guess I’ll see!
Whenever I go into Forever 21, there’s so much stuff. It’s unorganised and mildly daunting. Also, a lot of their clothing is just unpractical; I need things I can actually wear somewhere besides a night club.
That said, I like Charlotte Russe’s collections, but I never end up purchasing anything. Although that’s usually because I just hate making decisions on what clothes to buy.
I do like the fact that their jewelry is always on sale, tho.

Forever 21. It has a better selection and I think it has a lot better quality than Charlotte Russe
charlotte fo sho. i just experienced forever 21 for the first time friday. it was awful. i wouldn’t wear any of that horrible looking shit! lol. it was terrible. but i’ve shopped at charlotte many times and have never been disappointed in finding every day wearable clothes.
i don’t have a forever 21 around me, but i went to one in las vegas and it kind of sucked. it was confusing and messy and i couldn’t really find anything i liked besides a skirt and this overshirt thing. and they’re both unraveling after maybe like 6 wears each.
i DO have a charlotte russe in my area and have a few cute shirts and a skirt. the skirt’s only been worn once or twice, but i’ve worn the shirts about 6 or 7 times in the past year and they haven’t died yet.
charlotte russe, definitely. forever 21′s clothes typically fall apart rather quickly for me. plus before i buy there, i always have to make sure there aren’t any holes in the seams. i found some 5 dollar t shirts at CR and i love them so much.

forever 21, absolutely. charlotte russe is full of cheap fabric and unflatteringly cut items. forever 21 is disorganized, but if you dig, you are guaranteed to find something flattering, cheap, and stylish. Although Charlotte Russe is just as cheap and more organized, i’ve never found something nice looking there, only crappy clothes that are bound to go out of style any minute.

I like for Forever 21′s selection much better. And their stuff has never fallen apart for me. However, I absolutely hate the atmosphere more than anything. Charlotte Russe has a much nice atmosphere even though most of the clothes I would never wear. I do like Charlotte Russe’s shoe specials (buy one get one for 10 dollars is the best ever).

Charlotte Russe. It seems that they use better material for their clothes. Everything at Forever 21 is rayon.

hmm..charlotte russe. there’s a small difference between the larges in the two stores, i think… forever21′s clothes just have never fit me right, but i’m very comfortable in charlotte russe clothing.
i never really shop at either of those stores though, but charlotte russe is a little less intensley indie, as i think someone else said before… yeah.
I love them both! But if i had to choose– seeing how i am on the thick side– i would go with charlotte. forever 21′s jeans/bottoms are a little too snug and/or short [when it comes to skirts] for me to put my booty into lol

Charlotte Russe’s clothes hold up much better. Although I’ve only gotten dresses from there that I can think of, which I don’t wear much because I hate wearing dresses.

I like both for different reasons. CR has more sales, promotions, coupons, and etc.
I’ve always felt they were very similar. I think CR is slightly more organized. As for quality, I think they’re about equal, and I think they’re really quite similar style-wise as well. I think F21 has a larger selection though. I have bought many more things from F21 than I have from CR, so I guess F21 is my pick, even though they’re pretty equal.

Clothing quality from both places seems about the same, but I prefer Forever 21 because basics are so much cheaper. I usually just end up buying plain tops and a few more fashionable items. I can afford to buy a weird skirt to follow a trend that I’ll only wear a couple times because it’s so cheap.

I like forever 21 better than Charlotte Russe, mostly b/c forever 21 is a bit cheaper and their size fits true to their size, if you go to Charlotte Russe and ask for a meduim, its too small so you have to go up a size, i mean thats just me but my friends and i always have to either go up a size or go to another store and buy something else b/c Charlotte Russe does not stay true to the sizes and most of their stuff is a bit expensive too.
