A store found in most malls across America that is owned by the slightly more expensive Abercrombie. The style is more laid back and casual compared to it's peppy counterpart. Some of the prices are absurd to say the least, however if you like a shirt then I'm sure you can wait until it goes on clearance (it doesn't mean your poor, it's about saving money). Some of the clothes sold there have "HOLLISTER CO. CALIFORNIA" plastered on them, others have a very classy touch with just a small label on them. Their label is a seagull in various colors depending on the shade of the garment. Personally, I prefer both kinds of the attire. But that's just me :)
Middle schools in the midwest (Kansas, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois) are the top sellers of the apparel. Ironically, California is one of the least popular hollister co. states. In the top selling states, most kids sport the obnoxious advertisment instead of the much more subtle shirts. Jeans found in the stores are usually light colored, pre-ripped, and EXPENSIVE. You can get the exact (if not better) quality of cloth at Aeropostale on sale for less than $10.
Another ironic point is that most of the shoppers there have no drivers license, therefore they usually have to bring a parent in with them to the stores. The "cool" aspect of the stores is that they have music to hurt your ears and darkness all around with the exception of dim yellow lights on stands which hold the clothing. The majority of adults do. not. enjoy. this. So they forbid some kids to shop there. Go figure.

Get the hollister co.mug. A store owned by Abercrombie & Fitch. Shopped at by what some would percieve as "preps". Trust me, it's not the preppiest. Although i wouldn't be caught dead paying 60$ for a pair of ripped jeans, i don't really discriminate against people who shop there. It only becomes a problem when they brag and diss walmart shoppers. Honestly, you can get the same shirts for 5$ a piece at a department store. Hollister is just plain, name-brand, over priced clothing usually worn by teens and young adults.
1.) girl 1: I got these cute ripped jeans at hollister co. you like?
me: eh, i ripped my own, but your's are fine i guess.
2.) stuck up girl: chyeah, your just jealous because i can shop at hollister and you shop at walmart, poor freak.
me: ha. dumb bitch. i bet you won't be able to set foot in there without daddy's money. fuck off.
me: eh, i ripped my own, but your's are fine i guess.

Get the hollister co.mug. Hollister is a store that sells southern Cali beachy wear. All you people that say anyone who shops there is a sucker for super high prices for stupid clothing that all say hollister across the chest (most of there stuff does not,) well you should maybe get to know the people that shop there and some of us actually are educated bright people - not all dumb blondes. Why don't you actually go into the store or visit the website and see wat the clothes LOOK like instead of just being freakin' biased cuz you think its cool, it's not! And you're not going to make more friends that way, just a hell lot more enemies. If we wnt to wear the clothing LET US WEAR IT!!!!!
Sara: Cool skirt Rachel!
Rachel: Thanks
Rebecca: Why te hell do you guys wear that crap? It's from Holliser!
Sara: You don't need to put people down to make you feel better about yourself.
Rebecca: Whatever

Get the hollister co.mug. Hollister is a great store, with really great prices. It mostly caters to teens, but I am 26 years old, and shop there. I never really knew what it had, because I used to have a bad attitude toward it. I would only shop at hot topic. The first time I went into the store, I became hooked. It's not only skinny white people working there. My friend works there, and he is black. It's not really all that preppy. The clothes are fun, and I love the vintage fit shirts, because I am pretty small. I also like that you can get the same shirt in five different colors.
Goths need to step off, and realize that they spend more at hot topic then they would at hollister co. They also should realize hollister clothes are more durable. I have bought shirts at hot topic that have gotten holes in them after a week. I have returned more shirts and lost more money shopping at hot topic, because of their quality. I have never had a bad experiance at hollister. Nothing but quality.

Get the hollister co.mug. a brand of clothing. thats it. there's nothing more to it.
sometimes associated with "preps" or "popular kids" but really its for everyone who wants to buy it.
the cultural stereotype is pretty silly . Im Pakistani and I am a regular customer. My friend, who is also Pakistani, works there.
You dont have to be a particular body type to buy clothes at hollister. Their sizes range from xxs to xxl. they are regular junior sizes.
the economical stereotype is also silly. The prices range from about $60 to $6.
They do use good looking kids to advertise, but seriously, who doesnt? have you picked up a copy of a magazine lately? how about watching a commercial? Its called sex appeal, guys.

If you care about whether or not I wear hollister co., then you are too materialistic for your own good.
