kid 1: Hey, have you heard that A&F is releasing a new line of jeans?
kid 2: No, I did not. I'll ask an Abercrombie ninja if that is true.

Get the Abercrombie Ninja mug.A clothing store that can be found at almost any reputable mall in the country. Although the clothing can be slightly pricey compared to the Jeff Foxworthy line at Wal Mart, the majority of what they carry is aesthetically pleasing, generally comfortable, and the dyes won't run and the fabrics won't tear as easily as less expensive clothing.
Abercrombie is loved by some for its trendy, flattering styles, but is often criticized for its preppy appeal and high prices, usually by outcast teenagers with nothing better to do, often the same teenagers who are quite willing to pay $40 for a pair of Chuck Taylors that once cost only $12 and because of whom Dickies has become another sub-culture-conformist product manufacturer rather than the respectable producer of quality work clothes that we used to know and love.
Although the controversy rages on, the fact is that true individuals don't like or dislike clothing because of what people think, rather, they like or dislike clothing because they like or dislike the clothing. Ironically, the stores which were once labeled as preppy have become the least conformist places to shop.

She may look like a prep in that white pleated skirt from Abercrombie, but regardless of how I might choose to stereotype her, she looks hot.

Get the abercrombie mug.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!)

Get the Abercrombie and Fitch mug.
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.
