hollister

a town on the central coast of california, inexplicably the namesake of the latest A&F brand clothing store. Home to two McDonalds, a target, and more pot smokers than chico, hollister is one of those smalltown suburban black holes that saps your soul until you finally escape

Hollister Co.

Pretty decent west coast store with clothing-some nice, some boring. their clothes are not too small.... there are people who after all bother to keep in shape. Is bitched about by people who have nothing better to do than stand in their flocks and declare that they are not sheep. (HA!)
Person: Oh i can totally fit into this skirt.
Whiner: OMG TANOREXIO HO. EAT A CHEESEBURGER.
Person: I just had two. *smiles*
Whiner: Bitch.

Hollister is a preppy southern california looking store that sells every color clothing except black. Sells, ripped/vintage clothing, and is owned by Abercrombie, but targeted at people between the ages of 15-21.
I just got these new jeans from Hollister, and they're ripped, but I love them!

Owned by Abercrombie and Fitch, Holister is neither prep nor expensive. Yes some of the items are pricey but no more than Hot Topic. Now shoping there is kinda hard because of dim lit lighting, but that appels to some so I will let it go. If you wish to know more go into the store and make your OWN judgemnent. Who knows you might buy something.
Mei: Lets go into Hollister
Tori: All right, maybe I can find something to match these pants from Hot Topic
Mei: That shirt is badass and its only $10
Tori: I know.
Mei: I love how you make your OWN style.

Hollister party

A party usually consisting of metrosexuals sporting Hollisterco that typically the shirt is a size too small, flip flops, cargo khaki or plaid shorts, & puka or cowry shell necklaces, tanorexic blondes who look like a picture negative where everyone is standing around or playing beer pong, but completely sober typically they are playing Hinder, Buckcherry, Nickelback, & some other modern hip-hop such as Soulja Boy or Rhinana. They are usually found making fun of anyone from high school who isn't present at the party or isn't in their "clique" at all. They usually go to University's, but sometimes community colleges. The next day you usually hear them bragging about how "trashed" they got the night before.

Hollister

Hollister is a stylish clothing store based on west-coast surfer style. It is NOT based off of the town Hollister, which is far away from any beaches and is known more for paintball and off-roading/motocross etc. Hollister is based off of Hollister Ranch, which is a surf community somewhere in Southern California. People should understand this better, Hollister shirts say So-Cal on them often, Hollister the city is in Northern California.

Hollister is owned by Abercrombie and Fitch. Their clothes are similar in style, but are more reasonably priced. There are people who shop at Hollister but not Abercrombie and Fitch, because Hollister is perhaps even as low as the American Eagle price range.

Their clothes include pre-ripped pants, and faded clothing etc. all are meant to have a worn feeling. There is a reason to buy pre-ripped clothing; designer clothing is meant to stay the way it is forever. Generally speaking, pre-ripped clothing does not become much worse over time, whereas ripping your own clothing you will gradually expand the rips over time. In addition, designer fabric tends to be much more comfortable, cheap Levi's and other brands tend to feel cardboard-ish.

People tend to rag on Hollister and Abercrombie and Fitch because their clothes are higher priced than normal. In my opinion, I felt the same way but I find their clothing to fit much better and feel more comfortable, I would wear one pair of their jeans a couple days in a row if they didn't get dirty. They do sell jeans that are minimally ripped as well. It may seem overpriced, but you can have two pairs of jeans and that will be enough for daily use.
Person A: "Wow it sorta feels like I'm not wearing pants at all! Maybe I should by these? I've never really been in here before but all the guys that shop here get shit from people.."

Person B: "Yeah it's sort of lame but they don't really understand.. It's too bad you know I mean it's not like all the clothes in Hollister are destroyed."
