Get the Abercrombie mug.An expensive line of clothing most oftne worn by college studetns, but occasionally worn by thirty somethings who are in somewhat decent shape. A lot of the thirty something females are hot for their age, know it, and wear these clothes to show it. They are what we call a Milf, or what I call a midds} (mother I did doggy style).

Get the Abercrombie mug.a store that makes "quality" clothing with these totally awesome materials that can't be found anywhere else, so you MUST pay 100$ for a skirt that has less material than a bathing suit or 30$ on a shirt, when their 30$ are going to embroider a freaking MOOSE on the corner of the shirt. what a load of flaming bullpoopy. why in the world would anyone in their right mind spend 30$ on ONE shirt. my freaking lord.
"cool" girl 1;; oh my gawsh, look at this shirt that i got at A&F, && now im like, totally BROKE!

Get the abercrombie and fitch mug.A popular preppy/vintage style store that targets the high school and college age group. Their tag line is "Casual Luxury". If you're hot and skinny, you shop there; even though you know it's overpriced. It's a step below designer clothing , so even though the prices are high, they're not as expensive as Bebe or Tru Religion. Designer look for cheaper. The people who hate Abercrombie are the ones who can't fit into it.

Get the Abercrombie and Fitch mug.Abercrombie and Fitch is a store found in nearly every mall in the United States that caters to the preppy crowd. The clothes are really found on minorities and is despised by punks and others like that since they see it as a sign of conformity, even though they all conform to the norms of their own groups making them conformists in their own right. The clothes are overpriced and not the best looking, plus the music they play can keep people away.
I can't go in to the store since I can't stand five-seconds of the music played in there. It is sometype of gay techno shit you probably hear at raves where everyone is too fucked up to know what they are listening to.
