I'm not sure who decided abercrombie was preppy, but it's not. It used to be when it first re-invented itself, but it's now trendy "casual luxury", and is nothing like the bright colours of a true prep.
Needless to say, I still kind of like it. Even though idiots walk in there to buy a t-shirt that you could technically buy at walmart for 8$ or so. But it has an Abercrombie label on it, and so everyone pays upwards of $30 for it.

Abercrombie has a rad marketing scheme, but once you discover real fashion, you'll slowly leave it behind.

noun, adjective, adverb. Walk past the one in Evansville, Indiana and you'll see incompetent stoners standing around oblivious to the fact that when they put on their shirt that afternoon they failed to bring the collar down.
Pink shirt: Hey similarly stoned fake friend of mine, wanna go stand outside Abercrombie and pick up on loose girls still in junior high?
Green shirt: Ok. Wait, I hafta....nope I'm already stoned. Good to go!

Short for Abercrombie & Fitch, a clothing company who used to make presidential quality clothing (worn by Roosevelt and Ford among others). Became bankrupt in the 1970s, was aquired, then later reinvented itself into the young, rich, WASPish "lifestyle" clothing company it is seen as today. Usually perceived by middle and lower class American youth as tastelessly showy and flamboyant.

Abercrombie is the kids version of Abercrombie & Fitch. Not to be mistaken for the "adult" store, Abercrombie is showcased in lower case letters and has pictures of kid models in the back of the register. The people who usually shop here are soccer moms, spanish families always looking in the sale section and the black people who come from different states trying to return what they've stolen at another abercrombie location. Abercrombie used to be cool back in the day when their clothes were original and well made. Now abercrombie has the same exact design each year but with different colors. In rare occasions they will feature a "black" or "charcoal" colored item although abercrombie does not sell black or purple. All abercrombie based company stores are required to set the music at a certain level, unfortunately this consists of terrible techno/dance/pop music at awfully loud levels. They are also required to spray the stores "main fragrance" every 30-60 minutes. You can usually hear or smell an abercrombie store from a mile away. It is required and the district managers for abercrombie stores make the rounds to make sure it's in effect. The employees are surprisingly diverse in most stores, they are required to greet customers at the door and use a tag line at the register. Abercrombie and Abercrombie & Fitch mostly have the same designs but Abercrombie is cheaper as it's targeted for kids. The company requires the employee's to wear only certain colors for each specific season. There are two types of employee's at abercrombie, "models" which work on the floor and "impact" who usually work in the back. At some specific locations during the christmas season they will assign someone to stand in the front and greet people (without folding or assisting customers). This is usually common at flagship locations. The flagship locations hire models for the first floor and front rooms and the rest of the workers are actual employees. At certain locations there is an "overnight team" that cleans up the store after it closes. The abercrombie fragrances at the moment are Cologne 15, Phelps and Chase for boys and Spirit, Emerson and Perfume 15 for girls.
The entire company consists of Abercrombie (or a92), Abercrombie & Fitch, Hollister Co., Ruehl and Gilly Hicks.

Mom: Why is the music SO LOUD in this store, why does it smell so horrible. Can't you turn the music down!!!
Abercrombie employee: I'm sorry ma'am it's the company's policy we aren't allowed to lower it.
