It is a clothing store for teenagers. They sell very comfortable clothes, really soft, but are super expensive. They are mostly preppy clothes. usually when a person is wearing all abercrombie, many say they are rich. as much as I LOVE their clothes they are much too overpriced. I think their bags cost more to make then there simple cotton shirts. Abercrombie and fitch is the more adult store. Sizes 0-12. The child store is 8-16. THe clothes are very tight fitting. they are made for skinny people, which everybody thinks is a little bit unfair, but if you are like me and really abnormally skinny then this is probably the only store that will be able to fit you. The clothes are quality made, they last me a long time. pros: comfy, durable clothes, cons: too expensive, sizes are too small.

Get the Aber-emo mug.I work for Abercrombie, its defined as "Casual Luxury" Its made to be comfortable while looking really good. Its also more of a lifestyle more than just a fashion fad.When you think Abercrombie you think preppy, but mostly its "All American" and thats what the classic style is. A lot of clothing is vintage, closer fit, made for leaner bodies (its classic in back in the day obesity was lower),athletic wear is sold, flip flops etc. The people who work at A&F are usually models, this is because A&F dosn't spend money on external marketing (commercials, billboards)so Brand Reps wear the clothes to enhance the store experience. The guys have to be clean shaving, no earrings, no jewerly, no shown tattoos. The girls can have small diamond studs, minimal to no make up, no jewerly, no shown tattoos,no nail polish.We have to emmulate the models that people see and have to look natural and all american. Dress code is A&F clothes or clothes that look similar, with flip flops on the floor or converses in the stock room. Each season the employees have a selected color they must wear. Loud music plays and cologne is spritz throughout the store. Everything is perfect to the T, most stores are maintained very well.Its what made the store so recognizable and different
As for the lifestyle, yes the clothing are up in price but thats why its "Casual Luxury" its comfortable,have varied styles, and the quality is much better than people think. The seams and stitching are detailed on everything. People of different economic standards shop here. Mostly middle to upper middle class customers come here.We target the 18-23 year old crowd. Because of ignorance about the store and exaggerations that is heard causes people who may be a bit bigger in size to not shop here, but the largest size like most stores is a XXL. As I said its a lifestyle to each its own, people who are attractive and live in the suburbs like the comfort level.Urban people may feel they have a piece of something that is high in standard. We try to maintain a sexy image that gravitate towards different people.
As employees we are the ones who have to smile to the visitors and give THEM the feeling that "They have arrived". Im a black guy who is attractive and came from a well off family who happen to work for A&F, yes the work force here is diverse. But in small rural towns this may not be the case. There is many things people don't understand about the store until they are really on the inside of it ,and mostly work with them. There are plenty of things you would than learn that you haven't known before. Most of the kids who work here are either A.Models/Actors who need a job with a flexible schedule B.College students who wants a extra source of income while working with flexible hours C.Love the clothing and want the discount D. Its just a fun store to work in E.Bored because they have wealthy parents and need something to do.This store have one of the most organized teams in any retail, the things that happen behind the scenes is what makes the store so reliable. There is many positions that keeps it running and perfect.

Get the ABERCROMBIE AND FITCH mug.A relatively well-known, upscale clothing store (similar to Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren) that unfortunately has a bad reputation due to the infamous “preppy” stereotype. People (mostly teens) tend to either love or hate their clothing because of this, and will usually go out of their way to either avoid or indulge themselves into the store’s products.
