Pacific Sunwear of California Inc (also known as Pac Sun) is a US based retail clothing company rooted in the youth culture and fashion vibe of Southern California. In other words the store sells THEMED clothing. wearing the clothing doesn't make you a skater nor will it make you a poser. if you buy clothing for that reason alone you are missing the point. you buy clothing because you need it. You go to different stores because you have options. you look for options because either you are searching for a new price for a shirt, or you are searching for a new style of shirt. I shop at macy's, pac sun, and wal-mart. its all clothing. Pac Sun just happens to sell Southern Cali themed clothing.
Guy 1: "Hey your shirt looks cool where'd you get it?"

Guy 2: "Nah, i just walked in there and i liked the shirt"
Guy 2: "Pac Sun"

Short for Pacific Sunwear. A store that sells some pretty decent clothing. It's not too cheap but they have cute stuff. They sell more along the lines of skater/surf apparel. It doesn't make you a poser to buy from there, however. If the clothes appeal to you, then hey, buy them.
Girl #1: Hey, do you know where I can get some cute clothes from?
Girl #2: Well, you could go to Pac Sun.

a great shop to get stuff from if you where them for the right reason which is because you like them, not just because the 'surf' look could be in fashion at the time

A store, just likke any other store. It does not make you a poser if you shop there. However If you shop ther for the wrong reasons hat makes you a poser. Basically only shop there if you like the clothing but that goes for anystore.

a clothing store that used to sell really good clothes for skaters/surfers until ((once again)) the preps had to ruin it. do they not know what kind of clothes are sold there? could they name three brands in the store? no. they should stay at abercrombie and buy their tight over priced $150 pants.
prep: *on cell phone* im at Pac Sun ! omg lthere's this cute shirt! it has, like, a diamond on it!
nomal person: umm excuse me, but thats called Volcom.
prep: wow, these shoes are, like, flat on the bottom!
normal person: thats because they are skating sneakers.
prep: skating? who does that?
normal person: and u say you like Pan Sun ? *walks away shaking head sadly*

Pac Sun, a pretty cool place that sells stuff with tons of brand names that most people have no clue what they are. Cool sweatshirts, cool shirts, and other cools stuff too. Kind of expensive, but not too horrible.
*two people in pac sun*
Person A- "Hey, whats this brand?"
Person B- "I dont know."
Person A- "This one?"
Person B- "Not a clue. Hey, you know what this is?"
Person A- "Nope"
Salesperson- "Can I help you?"
Person A- "Yeah, what are these brandnames?"
Salesperson- "To be quite honest, I have no clue."
