From the reviews

I usually choose this Talbots because they have a large shoe selection but that wasn't the case this time. The service was not bad but could be better. My whole wardrobe is Talbots so I am very familiar with the products, more than the staff usually.

★★★★☆ — Holly, Nov 2018

My friend comes here for their petite selection. She's so compact that normal petite clothing is still too long for her. Here, she found a bunch of cropped pants that fit perfectly on her and she loved them. There were free cookies and water and plenty of seating for those accompanying shoppers.

★★★★☆ — Kandice, Oct 2022

I’ve been to many Talbots store from Northern CA to Southern CA, and this one at the Forum at Carlsbad is my favorite one. The store has decent quantities of the stuff I like, and the staff is very friendly. They are helpful to set up fitting room and also look for a size to order for me if not available in store.

Big & tall at Talbots

Reviews and the store's own info mention men's big & tall at Talbots — extended sizes, longer inseams and sleeve lengths, or a dedicated big & tall selection rather than a single rack. If you need specific sizes (tall lengths, extended necks, wide-width shoes), a quick call ahead saves the trip: stock in the far ends of the size run moves fast, and many stores can order your size even when it's not on the floor that day.
