Armani XChange Fifth Avenue

I never knew this store existed before the other day, so let's see what Yelp has--

Well, I think I read it is open every day of the year...reviews pretty positive, yet with some complaints as always-- I feel people who go to Armani are already sold on it

    I think this store only gets four stars from me because it's open almost every day of the year including Christmas Day and New Years Day as well as Christmas Eve and New Years Eve until quite late. It's definitely unlike other stores and for some reason smart enough to know everyone will flock to an open store on those days when all the other stores are closed.

    It also makes me feel better that AX doesn't stick its nose up and think its too good for the general public by closing early like some stores on 5th ave. Their clothes are relatively good quality although not always the best fit but they have plenty of friendly staffers and massive piles of clothing as they seem to be constantly having a sale all the time now. Great place to come when everything else is closed!

    Whoever thought that making clothing stores night clubs with really...REALLY loud music should be forced to wear apparel from Sears for the rest of their lives.

    Turn down the damn club music to a normal volume, I am trying to buy pants, not drop acid and dance until 5 in the morning.

    Anyway besides that "infernal racket" annoying the hell out of me, I got some great shirts for the summer at a reasonable $30 a pop (down from $88).

    Oh and put some of those A/X clothes on the male model posters at the check out line. It is making me look really bad in front of my wife. Now I might have to join a gym because of it!

    Stumbled upon Armani Exchange (A|X) whilst window shopping on Fifth Avenue earlier this week, and decided to take a look as I was, coincidentally, browsing their site before I left L.A.

    I usually do NOT wear A|X as my "look" in A|X stuff is unpredictable;  running the gamut from only "good" to "rediculously-model-looking-good".  I know, I would like more consistency too--I'm working on it.  Giorgio, drop my people a line and we'll set up an appointment sometime after the New Year.

    The siren song of "Up to 70% off!" called me in, and my stubborness kept me there.  I found a couple of FANTASTIC deals, including a much needed hoodie (I left my Yelp hoodie in LA :-( ) and a light jacket, but only after looking through most of the racks.  It was interesting seeing some of their products "in person" after viewing them online and realized they looked completely different in person.  As a friend commented, their quality has gone downward and a lot of "self-branding" is apparent (if I wanted people to know I wear CK underwear, I would wear it on the outside of my pants--that being said, I wear my undies on the outside because it's more comfortable).

    Time being = money, I'm not sure if I would come back.  Luckily I'm about 2,800 miles away from this place.

    I'm proooobably a little too old to be wearing AX merchandise, but believe it or not, you can find really good stuff in this store.  Clothes that are fancy looking and not at all cheesy.  The price tag is also not that bad considering what you are getting.  Dresses go for $120-$160, can't beat that.

    Check out the store at 5th.  Great branch, good people, nice sales and they have the newest stuff here.  If you're a little person like myself - AX will definitely be your friend.

    The quality and the design of the clothing line at Armani Exchange has definitely changed since the change of ownership.  However I still like to stop by ever so often to see if they have anything that I would like.  Since I was in NYC and shopping on 5th Avenue, we decided to stop by Armani Exchange.  All I have to say was that the clothing was mediocre, but the service from NICK was great!!  Seriously!!  He was so attentive and honest with his opinions.  He made sure that we were well taken care of and made valuable suggestions and listened to my likes and dislikes in certain colors and styles.  We were able to figure out which dress would suit me best for my event!!  Thanks Nick!!

    Swung in here to get a casual pair of jeans. The guys helping me were really friendly and knew what they were doing. Anyways. ended up dropped $150 on a pair of jeans before going to the Georgio Armani store and dropping $300 on another pair of jeans there.

    Trendy yet classy - I love Armani Exchange! The women's clothing line, from fashionable dresses to smart jackets, is totally my style. The sales staff is friendly and they help you get your sizes. I think they get a commission out of each sale so they make sure you get what you are looking for.

    A little designer for a little less. Armani Exchange is on the cutting edge of fashion, but the prices, while not on the cheap side, are a little lower. This is the perfect place to get a great new outfit for that hot date on Saturday night.

    I love Armani Exchange! This is the 1 I always go to. Alongside Fashion District, its like I'm walking down a Runway of my favorite stores. Most of the staffs were nice besides this 1 girl that had a nasty attitude towards me. Whatever, I love AX!
