An expensive line of clothing most oftne worn by college studetns, but occasionally worn by thirty somethings who are in somewhat decent shape. A lot of the thirty something females are hot for their age, know it, and wear these clothes to show it. They are what we call a Milf, or what I call a midds} (mother I did doggy style).

Lil' Jimmy told all of us that Abercrombie is for mindless preps, and at that point his potato sack shirt split.

A store where items clothing which may be exactly similar to that found at Wal-Mart or Zellers, with the exception of being branded with some guy's name and sold for 2 or 3 times as much. And where people who think that wearing expensive clothes like the cool people on the T.V. and/or have no sense of individuality, still shop.
Consumer Whore: "wow, the T.V. told me I should be paying $30 more for clothes exactly the same as those that are less, just because they have someone else's name on them, and help me to raise my social status slightly!! better go to Abercrombie."

A&F is a store that sells clothing that is not made for every one b/c not every one appreciates it. . Its casual luxury and the only reason its so expensive it’s because it sells high quality merchandise. Abercrombie is a store for people who appreciate the vintage look and likes high quality merchandise. It is true that most people who shop there are preps, but that’s because others choose to let it be that way. I don’t appreciate people’s criticism towards the prep way of life and style. If people are so bothered because only so called preps or emos shop at AE, Hollister, and Abercrombie and Fitch, why don’t they join the club and stop bitching about the price. If people are willing to pay 100 dollars for ripped jeans then let them, it doesn’t affect you.
