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!)

A mall store that caters to upper-middle class suburbanites, with brilliant ad campaigns. You may think their clothes are slutty (which some are) or preppy (which most aren't), but in reality their marketing scheme has worked on you, too. Their goal, when they changed from being an outdoors store to a teenage fashion mecca, was to spread the word-and it worked. Everyone knows what Abercrombie is, and whether you like it or not, you are buying into their campaign by acknowledging their existence. If you really hated them, you'd ignore them, and not waste your precious time bitching about their ripped jeans. Sure, it might be a waste of money, but it's not your money, so get over it. And whoever said LLBean was preppy was completely wrong.
So basically, Abercrombie & Fitch is a store where you can buy clothes that may or may not be overpriced, but they are a corporation with brilliant marketing executives. You gotta give them props for that, because they probably make more money than you EVER will.

Get the Sweet Aberdeen mug.Abercrombie and Fitch is the mother brand of the A&F Company, which includes Hollister co., Abercrombie Kids, and Gilly Hicks.
A&F hires and recruits good looking, attractive, young people (usually college students) as “models” to work at their stores. When recruiting, they look for All- American girls that are slim/ slender, have a pretty face, and look "effortlessly beautiful" -- girls that are all-natural, meaning no make-up or only minimum, natural make-up is permitted. Guys should be All-American, have a strong jaw, build/muscular, tall, good looking. Personality-wise, they look for cool, outgoing people. The "popular kid in school" is what they want. "Models,” previously known as Brand Representatives, aren't real models. They do the same tasks regular sales associates do, such as cleaning, folding, fitting rooms, etc. A&F floor models are called models because they are the only advertisements for the brand, which entail them to be considered "models." A&F doesn't make any commercials, nor do they advertise.
Abercrombie and Fitch is a trendy brand that targets college students ages 18-22. Abercrombie and Fitch is expanding internationally, opening in big cities with big population to better promote its popularity. A&F is club-like: dim lights, good loud music, good looking staff, and nice, casual clothing – why wouldn’t cool, young people (the target customers) want to come here? Truth is: The stores help attract attractive, young people.
