Get the Abercrombie and Fitch mug.I'm not judging ANYONE, but based from my school scene, here is how I define Abercrombie: A higly expensive store where as the "upscale cool people" buy from. Outrageously expensive, and if you're not wearing abercrombie, you're not even in the scene.
GOOD:"Yeah, so I saw Cassidy wearing all abercrombie yesterday. That's pretty tight."
BAD: "Marissa NEVER wears anything cool, like Abercrombie! She must buy her crap from a thrift store or something. What a dork."

Get the Abercrombie and Fitch mug.a clothing store than helps label people. those found working or shopping there are basically proving to anyone who goes inside that they wont talk to you unless your shirt matches your skirt, flip flops, eyes, eyeshadow, lip gloss, pocketbook, cell phone charm, and hair thing (yes, same thing goes for guys). people who shop at abercrombie are trying for this whole new imbreeding thing - theyre allergic to anything that doesnt smell like the perfume thats practically woven into the fabric of the clothes there.
its a store that promotes being a hoochie or slut by having pre-ripped jeans(so you dont actually have to get dirty yourself, oh hell no), super tight shirts, and overly lacy camis with straps so thin that you will definitely see the bra of the person wearing them.
looking at someone in full abercrombie apparel is basically like getting it on.
the object of the store is reverse psychology. you think you're not dressing like a slut because everyone else is wearing it. you buy it even though it costs so much you probably couldnt even count that high (but daddy hires people to do that for you, doesnt he?). you think it's safe because theres a pre-made clique of people just like you waiting because they wont talk to anyone who doesnt look like them.
perfect zombies. ew.
abercrombie: dont do it.
