A brand which sells horrible shirts but nice jeans. If you're really skinny, like me, you will know that its difficult to shop for jeans as the ones that fit your waist are too short. Well, in this store I have found jeans that fit me perfectly and thats a plus for them.
I'd like to
quote kewltrunkz, the second
definition for this word. She says "A retail line where if they suddenly decided that breathing wasn't cool, half the people in this world, especially the preps, would die." I want to make this clear: preps don't wear
Abercrombie and Fitch. They may have the occasional item, but they seriously don't shop there. That's quite an error.
The shirts, I will agree, are overpriced. You can get much more elegant and well-fitting shirts in better stores for the same price (eg. J. Crew)
A thing I find funny about this store is the hype that surrounds it. If you go to Fifth Avenue, New York, across from the Tiffany's store, you will find a big wooden-like building with the shape of a box and, on festives, a line that goes
around the block. I find this amazing. Do people really queue to enter that average store on their few days of vacation in the amazing city that is New York? What a mentality.
Summary:
1. Jeans are perfect for
skinny people
2. Shirts are a rip-off
3. Don't do the queue
Preppy 1: Look, I bought some
Abercrombie and Fitch jeans.
Preppy 2: They look great on you! But I have to say, that store sells some horrendous t-shirts and hoodies.
Preppy 1: I agree.
8-year-old girl: Mummy! Mummy! Please take me to A&F, all my class is
wearing it!
Mother: Okay sweetheart, we'll
check it out sometime.
4 years later, the girl is a slut wearing too much make-up and jean-knickers (in A&F they call them shorts!)
