abercrombie and fitch- est. 1892, A+F is a really great store. alot of people dont like it simply because they cant afford it. being a fashion lover my self, i happen to know that vintage is in. vintage is the main style at A+F. other people dont like it because they say that it is rascist. well on abercrombie.com you will see a mix of white, black, and mixed models. also i persomally am black and one of my cousins work there so there is no reason to hate something because you cant afford it (just go to the outlet because that's were my cousin works and you can get pants for $15.90 as much as you pay a cheap ass K-Mart and skirts for $6.90).
i just went to A+F and got this really cute mini!

I have written extensive explinations of each of the Abercrombie & Fitch areas, but before you read them, I wanted to say this: I am currently an employee of A&F and enjoy my position very much. I do not like to hear or read negative things about my place of employment, that is why I have written so extensively. I have just graduatated from high school and yes I was the "poplular kid", no I didn't play football, but I was a "prep" and not afraid to admit it. I believe in what the Abercrombie label stands for and that is why I purchase their merchandise and work in their store. I was not however, just friends with people who wear Abercrombie and Hollister. I was friends with the people I played sports with, most of whom wore Volcom, Hurley, Fox Racing, etc. I also graduated in the top 5% of my class which contained 450 students. This is why I wanted to clear up that not everyone who wears A&F clothing is "dumb, rich, a conformist", or otherwise. My position at A&F is "model", which I see as a huge responsibility. I have to represent our lifestyle as best as possible and I do so with pride. If you do not like the Abercrombie & Fitch lifestyle that is perfectly fine and up to you, but I do ask that you respect those who do find that this lifestyle is a way they would like to live their lives.

1)An unattractive, out-of-shape person who envies people who can actually look good in Abercrombie and Fitch clothing.
2) A jealous slob who automatically labels abercrombie as "gay" because she or he wishes she could be one of those smoking hot/ripped abercrombie models.
Guy 1: "Look at that Abercrombie guy with no shirt making out with 3 smoking girls. He is such a fag."
Guy 2: "You're only saying that because you're a fat slob with mustard stains on his shirt who couldn't get a girl if he paid her. Just another bitter abercrombie hater."

Clothing shop where they sell peculiar clothes, with a certain style. People like it because of its comfortable use and interesting look. However, due to large masses of people flocking towards it, it's prices sky-rocketed and it has become expensive and an icon for "preppy" society.
Usually related to popped collars and over 953 kinds of flip flops.
People tend to have at least 1 article from the shop
Person1:Let's go to Abercrombie to shop
Person2: Ok... I needed new flip flops for the chistmass party (Note: this conversation takes place in Alaska)

Clothing brand, for people who enjoy the (just got back from the beach) look. Not for people who want to look down on walmart buyers or any other less expensive brand.
I agree there is some people out there that do, use a&f, and hollister as a way to do that, but not every one who shops there does it for that reason. Some people shop there because they like the style. Personally i see it from all sides i shop every where if something looks good on me i buy it, and yess a&f and hollister are some of my favorite stores. But i also like hot topic and sure walmart once in a while. i dont care all stores are great. And you can weigh over 110, im pretty sure the models all weight over 110. i know i do. im 119. I think this whole deal with the brands is crazy, shop at what ever stores you want and where ever you want.
I had on a wall mart cardigan the other day and one of my friends whos big on brands said she liked it and asked where i got it. So i said haha walmart, and the next day she actually wnet to walmart and got the same one. haha. so even the big brand lovers think the same way. haha.
(hollister, abercrombie & fitch)
