People usually relate the store Abercrombie with toned preps. Yes, this is what the company hopes to achieve.
Abercrombie is a store like all others. Its just one of the more upscale mall stores. It's less expensive sister store Hollister targets the West Coast audience. With its bright colors and surf appeal.
Abercrombie on the other hand is designed for the East Coast preps. With a majority of their clothes being navys, gray and whites their motto is casual luxury.
Which it is.
The Chanel of the mall; Abercrombie sells its clothes at a higher price then most other mall stores such as American Eagle and Aeropostale.
Abercrombie also targets a smaller sized audience.
American Eagle and Aeropostale's sizes run bigger and come boxey-er that Abercrombie which makes their clothing long and lean. Many people dislike Abercrombie for just that. But, this is unnecessary. There is no reason to complain about Abercrombie's lack of large sizes and expensive clothes. If you have a problem; just don't shop there.
Many also find it degrading that Abercombie only hires workers that are attractive as their models. This is because they are models in a sense. They're hired not only to provide assistance to customers but to also show those same customers how Abercrombie's clothes look on. They're attractive because the models are attractive.
Because that's what Abercrombie targets.
The college student who is a toned, tanned beauty.
Though, most customers are actually middle and high school students.
Many people don't like Abercombie because of its mentality of wealthy, beautiful preps. Because it is for skinny rich people.
Well, take it somewhere else. Getting angry about a store is stupid. It's not like its really offending you. So maybe you can't shop there because you're too big. Well, they have stores for just big people and nobody gets all pissed at them. It's because people are jealous.
People also think people who shop at Abercrombie are label obsessed. Because they're able to afford 75 dollar jeans with the signature abercrombie design on the back pockets. Or, the moose stitched to each shirt.
Well, maybe they are. People today like identities. Those who shop at Abercrombie do it because they like the way the clothes look and feel; and they're proud of it so they show it off by the Abercrombie emblems. And maybe they are wealthy skinny people. But,just because they are and just because they shop there, doesn't mean they're snobs or think less of those who can't shop there.
Everyone needs to leave Abercrombie and its loyal customers alone. Get a new hobbie.
Maybe you could attack Hot Topic for selling clothes for emo people. Or Torrid for only selling plus sizes.
God, clothes give people identities. And they're about who YOU are.
Each store sells to meet peoples needs.
So please, just leave Abercrombie alone.
Abercrombie & Fitch targets the young, wealthy person who is toned, tan and stylish.

A popular clothing store among many teenagers and young adults, Abercrombie & Fitch have popularized many trends such as pre-ripped jeans and popped collars. While not being the most original clothing line, Abercrombie targets a young audience and does not have to ride the coat-tails of a particular music genre or lifestyle to make its money.
While being look at as the cocky jocks and the airhead cheerleaders, the truth is that Abercrombie wearers are predominately the more popular and attractive section of the 15-21 population.
Abercrombie skeptics are usually people that fall into the "scene" cliche` where they act like they are so originial, regardless of the fact they too wear pre-ripped jeans and popped collars from other stores while fashioning themselves in tattoos of obscure cartoons and spiders. These individuals are the same ones who were the shit-heads in high school who barely graduated and now work at your town gas station.
Most of these haters are emo jerkoffs and skaters who will complain about the price of this clothing and then will go and buy a pair of woman's jeans. Merely a sense of sour grapes, they will say the kids must be rich and spoiled to wear these clothes, when in fact, maybe they have jobs and don't waste their cash on reefer and new trucks for their skateboards.
Emo kid 1: "Man, 'jocks' and 'Abercrombie-fags' are so gay...."
Emo kid 2:" Sometimes I cut myself so I can truely feel pain..."
Emo kid 3:"Let's go skateboard or hackey-sack and be Xtreme!"
Yes....extremely gay

clothing brand wildly popular with the 19-24 year old student crowd.
-is worn across the nation.
-is more expensive than competing brands like Kmart and Walmart
-is as popular as Mossimo was three years ago.
-a brand, with a strange name, raised from the dead a few years back and will sell strong for years to come because university lifestyles are steady enough for a safe market nich every year.
-if they ever knew of their future success, they would not have named it after whoevers names those are however, after a reputation is formed , it is hard to make a change and still keep your customers.

a store where people think that the clothes are expensive and preppy, but they forgot to go in the really high-end store next door and check out the actual expensive clothing where everything is mostly priced 100 dollars or more, even for socks.
it's low-end, cheap crap that make kids feel like they're really cool, but that logo makes you want to trip them, hoping to knock some sense into their little hormonal heads. also, it makes the actual rich kids who would never go in there want to slit their wrists when people mistake those pieces of white trash for "rich" just cause a shirt is like 40 bucks and they probably just blew someone around the corner to get that 40 bucks.
"A&F kid: OHEMGEE, JUST GOT DEEZ KEWL NEW JEENZ FROM ABERCROMBIE & FITCH! DEY WERE LYKE, 100 DOLLAZ THO."
"actual rich kid: yeah, well i just got these true religion brand jeans at bloomingdale's for like 315 dollars, and they don't shrink in like 2 days and don't make me look like i swam in a dumpster for a pair of ripped jeans."

A relatively well-known, upscale clothing store (similar to Calvin Klein and Ralph Lauren) that unfortunately has a bad reputation due to the infamous “preppy” stereotype. People (mostly teens) tend to either love or hate their clothing because of this, and will usually go out of their way to either avoid or indulge themselves into the store’s products.
Why can’t people just judge Abercrombie & Fitch by its actual CLOTHING?

An extremely overpriced clothing store for suburban adolescents between the ages of 11-19 (although the age is getting younger, I swear that in a few years, 4th graders will be getting boob jobs, allowing them to have the body of Lindsay Lohan). This store, contrary to popular belief, not only appeals to twiggy girls and preppy guys who think they're "ghetto" even though they buy clothes from Abercrombie and Fitch, but also rather obese girls as well. It's surprising that they even fit into the clothes, when as is, they rip and tear on anorexics, but on the more pudgy girls they somehow find a way, usually with their stomachs hanging out the front of their see-through t-shirts all the way down to the low seams of their hip-huggers. In addition, these girls are also the ones who insult girls who have a brain in their head that they need to buy these poor-quality, overpriced, thrift store-esque clothes with a blinding Abercrombie label repeatedly shoved on wherever there is a square inch of pure, easily ripped fabric. I guess, at Abercrombie and Fitch, the less fabric there is, the higher the price tag!
#1-Anorexic: Oh my gawd, this mini is soooo cute! And, it's only $99.99! I totally have to buy it now before anyone else does, so I can make fun of anyone who buys it after me! I mean, what is the point of wearing a mini unless you can see my thong through all these holes in it? What size am I, an 18 now? Gawd, I wish I fit into a size two, those girls are so hot! You can see their ribs!
#2-Pudgy Girl- I guess they don't have my size here. Wait! If I hold my breath I can fit in a size 2! My stomach only hangs out when i exhale! And this jeans are cute, too! If I rip my jeans because my butt is too big, I can say the rip in the crack is because the denim is so, um..., fragile.
