An American clothing chain which caters to young adults, mainly the college aged crowd. They sell vintage styled clothing, including ripped jeans and faded shirts. Considered to be of "All-American" East-Coast style. They also own Hollister Co. and Ruehl No 925.
However, there are some points that need to be made:
Firstly, A&F is not truly preppy. Try Lacoste, Polo etc, not to mention the bright colored clothing preps may wear (i.e pink, lime shirts etc)
Secondly, A&F is not overpriced (in terms of all clothing). European fashions will cost you at least 2x as much for a similar item at A&F. A&F isnt really designer clothing, persay. Want expensive jeans? Try dishing out $200 for diesel or even $400 for Dolce and Gabbana.
Bottom line: If you dont like A&F, then dont wear it.

Japanese clothing company which was started by Hidehiko Yamane. Evisu jeans are particually sought after due to their exclusiveness and the fact that they are hand-made. Often very expensive, as authentic evisu jeans can cost upwards of $200 for a pair.
I just spent my last paycheque on a pair of evisu jeans. I'm broke now, but these jeans were worth it.
