a once "outdoors" store that now sells clothing aimed at upper-middle class teenagers and young college students. the clothing may be a bit overpriced, but it is definitely not other stores/brands such as the buckle, urban outfitters, lacoste, le tigre, or lucky brand. they advertise with a slogan of "casual luxury," which, indeed, it is. the clothes are generally very comfortable and fit well.
since it is targeted towards an OLDER audience than most "brand name" apparel, the clothes are made to fit misses sizes and young men.
abercrombie generally has a "mountain-range, yacht club" atmosphere, and it's younger counterpart, hollister co., has more of a "beachy" feel.
hollister is also owned by abercrombie, much as hot topic, old navy, and the gap are all owned by the banana republic.
hollister is significantly cheaper than abercrombie because it is targeted towards a younger audience that generally does not produce its own income.
contrary to popular belief, hollister is no more expensive than american eagle and pacific sunwear (pac sun); in fact, most of the items there are cheaper. some may argue that american eagle is THE BEST THING SINCE EVER, but i personally find that their clothes stretch out way too much after a only couple of wears, and their jeans have had a noticeable increase in price over the past few months (ranging from $29.50 which is a very good price to $59.50 which is the same as the most expensive hollister jeans available atm). while american eagle does have a great sale rack, hollister does, as well, and you can also find some pretty nice things at abercrombie.
abercrombie and fitch carries clothing that will last for a great amount of time. i, personally, have a purse and several shirts that have lasted me since the 8th grade (i am now a senior in high school). they also seem to have very friendly service.
some individuals get beyond too carried away with the idea of being able to wear "high quality merchandise." these are usually, but not always, the kids who you see with popped collars, aviator sunglasses, and those annoying, "i am better than you" attitudes. this is not to be blamed on the store, but rather, the individuals and their love for shows like laguna beach. they tend to take things a bit too far, and yes, i agree, end up making themselves look moronic.
the truth is that if you don't like abercrombie and fitch or hollister, you DON'T have to wear it. no one is forcing you to do that. holding a grudge against individuals who do, simply because they are wearing a brand that you don't like, is immature. brands are brands; let people live with them.

Get the abercrombie and fitch mug.The place where you go to get clothes (and, if your gay, you can lust over the half-naked male models on the wall... and right in front of the door... and on the bag... but if your not gay then its just kind of scary with all the male models staring at you the whole time your in the store) that cost twice as much as they should. Maybe that's because you get your shirts smelling exactly the same as the ENTIRE STORE smells. Or because there's cloth handles on the bag. Big whoop.
Gay guy: I just looove how there are so many posters with half naked guys on them in this store!
Straight dude: How come there are so many half naked dudes in Abercrombie & Fitch? That's just queer.
That other guy: Ooh, cloth handles!

Get the native abercrombian. mug.A proper authentic Scottish city, only fully appreciated by Aberdonians and non-Scots.
Attracts much critisism from the more simple residents of Scotland (i.e. within the central belt) largely borne out of envy of the fact that it is (for the most part) a nice place to live with few murders, no deep-fried Mars Bar suppers and no sectarianism.
The only 'one city - one football team' in Scotland - The Dons. Best team in Europe for a spell in the 80s, fans now accept that glory days are long gone but still fiercely loyal. Celtic fans think Dons try harder against Celtic, Rangers fans think the Dons try harder against Rangers. In reality, they try harder against whichever of the Old Firm is being especially annoying. Take your pick.

Get the Aberdeen mug.A person who is amazing and kind. Anybody with the name Aberdeen is bound to be incredibly creative, funny, and a good friend. They also are generally very attractive. They have a lot of self-doubt and rarely think they’ve done enough to improve so they are constantly trying to be better at what they do. If you have an Aberdeen in your life you should go hug them, they deserve it.
Aberdeen is an amazing person.
