Nic+Zoe

Winkk — Sat, 01 Mar 2025 21:28:55 GMT

I'm not into designer fashions but I was wondering why Nic+Zoe clothing is so expensive?

A cotton shirt for $148? Wow.

They've got some nice pieces. Zoe and Shawn both had this on. If it wasn't 168.00, I'd order it:

I'm a MARSHALL'S. shopper and when Shawn introduced the brand I recognized it

You can find the brand OFTEN at any MARSHALL'S or T J MAXX

and honestly those prices you saw on Shawn's premiere

are NOT the prices at either store.
Not by a long shot

So for ALL the comments on various brands on the Q

and the overpricing and ridiculous pricing

The Nic + Zoe brand isn't going to draw crowds

Today one of my kids said let's stop in SAVERS as we did errands

I hadn't been in one in 5 years

I looked around and found both LOGO and Isaac Mizrahi LIVE pieces

and they were new with tags

One was 4.99 and the other two 7.99

Ive come to know that retail is a business of opportunity lol

I really like the clothes but I'm not spending that much. I'll have to check out Marshall's.

I have bought Isaac Mizrahi tops and shoes from TJ Maxx, very reasonable priced.

I bought their clothes back in 2006 when they were first launched. they were a bit pricey, but not bad. It depends on what you buy. I liked the styles better back then than I do now. They are based in Mass., a private, family owned business. Women oriented. They do not mass produce, at least they didn't. And sell at select stores I do know their fabrics are unique, the tailoring on jackets and such are very good. They are not totally made in the US, which is why I don't buy them anymore. pricing is in eye of the beholder. Look for sales at nordies in this line. They sell out a lot, and sales usually are gone in mediums and large. Personally, I find the clothes on QVC not exactly thrifty...for what you get. Most of the clothes are off sized, large arms and sleeves, I buy a QVC clothing item, here and there, but darn their sizing is awful, and I hate the way the sleeves are huge and wide at the wrist. It's like so one size fits most. But QVC has had some great brands.
that said, most clothing quality is hard to find if that's what you look for. For me I sho US clothing only, I shop Shopmyfairlady, Fawbushes, Lisa's the shop, Karen lane, XCVI and a few others I know my clothes are designed, sewn and made in USA. Even the fabrics. My choice

ETA. The quality, and detail are amazing, at least on clothing I have had in the last. I have skirts I still wear from 2007. Look new

Shoekitty said. That jacket is nice, seen it in person see how the sleeves are tailored! Especially at wrist? That takes more cost, planning etc. that jacket is not for me, too conservative, but I would love to it on someone else! 169bux, plus tax isn't chump change,but maybe investment piece if you work or have a lifestyle for this jacket. I can see it with slim turtleneck, black ankle pants, or black pants or a skirt. I can see this jacket in California with shorts even , not me for Gods sake, but some young girl strutting out to lunch

This one looks very tight on the Q model.

Jmo. Nice jacket, though. I'd size up.

I agree @ROMARY . It looks too small on her. Shawn and Zoe looked good today. Shawn actually wore a MEDIUM today and looked great!!

About the Nic + Zoe brand. I ordered a blouse and it was an okay blouse. It was not the quality you would expect to get for that price at J Crew, Talbots or Ann Taylor but it was on sale, and I needed it for a gray suit I had.

It did not fit. Asked for another to be sent according to the click here measurements and reviews, and it did not fit. I had my heart set on it because I needed that color for a suit. I kept one and had the tailor lady fix it to fit. So I ended up paying regular price. The fit and fabric are just not what I expected BUT, I have experience with only one item from that brand.

I DON'T LIKE the way this cardigan looks on some of the models. Shawn says it is a lady jacket. It's a cardigan which looks too tight. QVC likes hosts and models to wear items that are a size or two too small.

I used to look at Nic and Zoe at Nordstrom years back. It was always expensive and rarely did anything good for me linger long enough to hit the sale racks.

@katie1859 I really enoy shopping at marshall's, I never or rarely leave without spending money. I always find high name brands at my local store too with great price tags. A fav item of mine there is fall/winter when they stock the cashmere sweaters.Styles you'll never see anywhere else, colors, great 2ply materials. I do favor a great cashmere sweater and have nice ones from there. Overall, a great b&m to shop in.

@shoekitty - I would wear this cardigan open with a white tank underneath and wide legged pants. I would wear it to work or some type of work related function.

@Nonametoday I Don think their measurements line up with what they provide. I think they run true to old sizing, and what I would call, true to size. I didn't even know Nic and %Zoe sold on QVC. Til I saw this post. I have seen the jacket at nordy, although I could swear it had a pink piping on it. I shop all over, from high end to low end. I can shop NM, and have bought Target skirts that lasted so long, one is still in my drawer. The elastic is rotten, lol...but I am going to replace it. Nic and Zoe may not be the same quality, or like everything else, they have changed, because manufacturers have changed. The jacket is a tiny tight on that model. The sleeves are tapered, which I love. To me, that cardigan is for so,done who still works in a nice place , or lunches a lot. I might size up on the jacket.
Nic n Zoe when they started were known for their tee shirts, nice ones that lasted forever. Last one I got pulled. So IDK. I hate it when you need a certain color. It's like you are trapped, as nothing else will look right, so you splurge, and have it tailored. I have been there, lol. I am 76, 5'1 and 1/2", weigh about 136, have an hour glass shape, I usually wear medium. I think in Nic n Zoe I might wear large in top and jacket.

@shoekitty

Based on my experience, your medium or even a small would be fine unless their clothing sizes vary from one to the other. They have a Tee-shirt here at QVC for more than $100 in polyester. You can get that same Tee-shirt less expensive at Lilysilk in silk, not polyester,

The prices of this line are the sane ones the Q as on their website. I’d rather stab myself than rifle through the racks at Marshall’s.

I Googled the brand - Bloomingdales and Nordstrom Rack sell it for sale prices. Amazon also has a Nic and Zoe store
