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!

A clothing store that can be found at almost any reputable mall in the country. Although the clothing can be slightly pricey compared to the Jeff Foxworthy line at Wal Mart, the majority of what they carry is aesthetically pleasing, generally comfortable, and the dyes won't run and the fabrics won't tear as easily as less expensive clothing.
Abercrombie is loved by some for its trendy, flattering styles, but is often criticized for its preppy appeal and high prices, usually by outcast teenagers with nothing better to do, often the same teenagers who are quite willing to pay $40 for a pair of Chuck Taylors that once cost only $12 and because of whom Dickies has become another sub-culture-conformist product manufacturer rather than the respectable producer of quality work clothes that we used to know and love.
Although the controversy rages on, the fact is that true individuals don't like or dislike clothing because of what people think, rather, they like or dislike clothing because they like or dislike the clothing. Ironically, the stores which were once labeled as preppy have become the least conformist places to shop.

She may look like a prep in that white pleated skirt from Abercrombie, but regardless of how I might choose to stereotype her, she looks hot.

A mall store that caters to upper-middle class suburbanites, with brilliant ad campaigns. You may think their clothes are slutty (which some are) or preppy (which most aren't), but in reality their marketing scheme has worked on you, too. Their goal, when they changed from being an outdoors store to a teenage fashion mecca, was to spread the word-and it worked. Everyone knows what Abercrombie is, and whether you like it or not, you are buying into their campaign by acknowledging their existence. If you really hated them, you'd ignore them, and not waste your precious time bitching about their ripped jeans. Sure, it might be a waste of money, but it's not your money, so get over it. And whoever said LLBean was preppy was completely wrong.
So basically, Abercrombie & Fitch is a store where you can buy clothes that may or may not be overpriced, but they are a corporation with brilliant marketing executives. You gotta give them props for that, because they probably make more money than you EVER will.
