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.
You only hate it because you can't afford it.

A clothing store, often worn buy high school and college kids. Know for there bad history of racial profiling and sex addiction, they hve arisen to become a staple in America's new fashion era for people of all races. Despite popular belief, Abercrombie is not all that expensive for some things ($25 tee, $50 polo) but some kind of stretch the tag ($100 hoodie and $70 jeans) although the price is synonomous with the quality.
Let's go to Abercrombie and Fitch!

a clothing store. how simple is that? it's a bit pricy, but the stuff is good quailitly. there's no need to diss it because it's just clothes. everyone says a jacket it 400 dollars. cough cough. the most is about 200 and that when it's a parka with faux fur. if you wear it, great, be happy. if you don't, don't diss it. it's not your problem. people wearing gap don't get dissed, so why should people wearing abercrombie get dissed? of course, there are people who wear abercrombie just because it says it. then there are people who wear for the style, like me:)
scene 1:

scene 2:

Girl 2- abercrombie.
Girl 1- cool, but green isn't my color, maybe i'll get it in blue.

A brand you can wear if you want to look like a walking billboard. Seriously. Every single thing sold in that store either says "abercrombie" on it, or has a moose.
I would understand why a person would have a few things from Abercrombie, but what I don't get is people who wear only abercrombie all the time. Every piece of clothing is really just a slight variation of the same basic design. So, for example, if you bought 5 different skirts from Abercrombie, you really just bought the same designed skirt 5 times.
Some of these people who wear only abercrombie somehow think that we non-abercrombie wearers are jealous because we can't afford it. I, in fact, can afford it, because I have a job. I simply choose not to go there, as I enjoy my individuality.
Abercrombie girl: Let’s go to Abercrombie!
Me: Eww…no.
Abercrombie girl: Pshh…you’re just jealous ‘cause you can’t afford it
Me: No, I just don’t like the store.
Abercrombie girl: EVERYONE likes Abercrombie. It’s like wired into the human brain!
Me: 0__o

A professional sporting goods store - turned - teen couture fantasy established in 1892 by outdoorsman David T. Abercrombie and successful New York lawyer Ezra Fitch.
1. A clothing store that is often the subject of scorn of many "non-conformists." (Can anyone define jealousy?) They sell faux-vintage clothes which, albeit overpriced, are of good quality. Abercrombie and Fitch follow trends, but will always incorporate the "Abercrombie touch" into their products, i.e. having that lived-in, beach-ready feel.
2. Used to describe people who are usually preps and people willing to spend money on image. Wearing Abercrombie anything is an instant status and image booster, because their brand, whether the "non-conformists" like it or not, is linked very closely with having sex appeal. Associated with conformity, but I don't necessarily agree to that: it depends on the person carrying the brand. Contrary to popular belief, owning Abercrombie & Fitch does not mean giving up a sense of style.
3. Used to describe a certain style that Abercrombie has epitomized: an athletic, breezy, all-around American look; Yacht club - meets - varsity vintage - meets - beach party. Since they have a constant theme incorporated into their clothing, most of their pieces work well with any year and any season. More of a lifestyle for the true Abercrombie convert than simply fashion.
1. Let's shop at Abercrombie!
2. She's such an Abercrombie.
3. That's so Abercrombie.

The GAP of the 2000s. Niche-marketed apparel store that appeals to teens/young 20s buyers through a well-executed marketing campaign that is more about lifestyle than the apparel. The clothes themselves are of decent quality. The style isn't for everyone. Many people, not just emo teens, dislike the line for its reliance on obvious logos and the faux-vintage aesthetic. Prices are similar to more established lines such as Lauren Ralph Lauren or Ann Taylor / Ann Taylor Loft for women, Polo, and Calvin Klein, DKNY, etc. Abercrombie differentiates itself by going for the youth demographic. Although attractive for casual wear, if the wearer ascribes to the brand aesthetic, the clothes really don't work in professional settings so most buyers leave them behind in favor of the "Grown-up" brands by their mid-20s. As with any designer label, dressing head to toe in the same brand speaks of a trendwhore mindset.
"I don't pass over guys just for wearing Abercrombie. It just makes it easier to sort out the ones who haven't grown up -- they have a moose on every shirt."
"Can a girl in AT skirts and kitten heels find happiness with an Abercrombie boy? Probably not unless he's willing to move beyond his college days."
"I can't date an Abercrombie boy. I refuse to date a guy whose jeans cost more than mine."

Its a store in a mall. If you like their clothes great. If you dont then dont buy them. Sure some people dont like destroyed jeans, but hey maybe they dont like the way you dress. It's not preppy its just clothes for those who like them. Next time you call something preppy you might wanna learn what "preppy" really means, or what a "prep" really is. And to make fun of them just because theyre expensive is just gay itself. Its not the clothes that make the man.
Hey wanna go to abercrombie?
No man i dont like their clothes that much.
Oh thats cool
Yeah
