Clothing brand that hated and loved by many. FYI, they are NOT that expensive, during a Redline sale, a classic shirt can be as inexpensive as 7.50. So please, don't knock it unless you've tried it.

A slutty store for rich, preppy, skinny hipsters.The attire is consistent with see through shirts and daisy dukes that fit well on the posters of nude models that are everywhere you go. Everything is so disgusting you'll probably need to bleach your eyes once you leave. (More disgusting than Nicki Minaji's plastic ass) Sometimes nicknamed Abercrombie & Bitch because everyone who works there and shops there is more rude than the ladies from Dance Moms.
Person: Do you shop at Abercrombie & Fitch?
Me: I would rather give up Tumblr and gay fanfic than go within 50 feet of that store.
