A store where, eerily enough, every item of clothing matches every other item of clothing.

A clothing story that will give you popularity in exchange for your dignity, self-respect, and a shitload of cash. Mommy's little boys and girls shop there to fit an image and to cover up their low self-esteem. This store preys on sexually-deprived horny teenagers. Plus, for girls, abercrombie shirts give you breasts. Abercrombie clothing is a great way to spot a whore - it's quite helpful in judging people. Shit, man, I'm only gonna be a walking billboard if I'm gonna get paid for it...why would I pay to be able to advertise?? WHATS WRONG WITH OUR SOCIETY??
Doug: Hey, DUDE, if I buy this abercrombie shirt...girls will have sex with me.

Ashley: Hey, if i buy this abercrombie shirt...ill go from an A to a C! Then the boys will know I'm E-Z!!!

I don't get why everyone is bitching, American Eagle, Hot Topic, Pac Sun in the end it's basically the same thing except a different style of clothing. The clothes are somewhat overpriced but their comfortable and are what's "in" now.
Abercrombie wearer: Ew look at those emos

Hot topic wearer: Ew look at those preps

Me: your both getting played, the stores are basically the same concept just one is more mainstream clothing while one trys to be unique and different.

This is NOT a rant about Abercrombie, so if you came to laugh at my immature commentary on ripped jeans, you came to the wrong place. However, I do have to admit I am dissapointed. Abercrombie used to be all about comfort and feminine casuality. It's been altered into it's own stereotype, and now I can't wear it without being called a prep.

Everyone who's ruined my "feminine-cute-semibohemian" image by calling me a prep, thanks a whole freakin' lot. But you're WRONG.

The reason I shop there is because some of their stuff is actually pretty cute, and believe it or not, sometimes UNDER 40 bucks. Hot Topic is not really that much more expensive considering one pair of black pants is 60.99 there and a t-shirt 29.99 depending on the size and design.

My point is that I love their jeans, and they are the only ones that fit my strangely long, thin, and odd shaped legs.
Person 1: Her sweatshirt says Abercrombie....what a freakin' prep.

Person 2: Stop being a bitch. Let her label herself. I am sure she likes the outfit for the outfit, not for the image it gives her.

A store that is clearly a target for criticism and conformistnonconformist remarks. Its clothing is expensive but is of good quality, and the clothing at abercrombie is not identical to like brands. For example, the marjority of abercrombie's clothes are muscle fit, meaning someone muscular or someone tall and skinny like myself can get an XL shirt that is not excessively wide like its counterpart at American Eagle. Though the clothing style may be preppy you do not need to be a prep to wear it, just as you do not need to be a goth/punk to wear hot topic -they're just clothes you wrap around your naked body. As for the remarks that kids shopping here spend their parent's money, yes you're right KIDS generally do not buy their own clothing, ADULTS do.

To each his/her own, wear the clothing style and brands that best suit you and leave the rest alone.
Hey, look! It's a store called abercrombie which just so happens to be a store. It isn't more or less respectable than any other store!
