Contrary to popular belief, Abercrombie is not a preppy store. Its patrons may choose to say otherwise, but its display of cheaply-made clothing and provacative advertisements all point to the opposite end of prep spectrum.
When the true definition of Prep is thought of, it is not usually connotated with a thin t-shirt that has blatant innuendo written across the chest, which is what Abercrombie excells in. Abercrombie is, in summary, a sad excuse for a Prep store where those who desperately want to be the epitome of Prep spend their money which they, in most cases, got from their parents.
It is important to remember, however, that Abercrombie was not always in such ruin. When it first started in 1892 and before it became, essentially, a place for sexually-repressed teenagers to buy conforming (in both senses of the word) clothing, it was a "store that outfitted wealthy businessmen for their outdoor pursuits". In just a little over a century it has a gone from businessmen pursuing the outdoors to teens pursuing the fastest way to be considered cool by their peers.
When Abercrombie is thought of as preppy, it makes the true preps shutter.
Even the children's version, abercrombie sic, albeit not as sexual, is just as shocking. abercrombie sic which carries Girls' sizes 7-16 and boys 8-20, has shirts with messages that are so rude and egotistical it is not unusual to want to smack the kid that is wearing it. An example would be "The party starts when I arrive" (a Girls t-shirt) and "Once a winner, always a winner" (found in the Boys' section) make the adults of our society involuntarily gag. This spoiled attitude is what they fought for in 3 wars? It's truly enough to make anyone vomit, or as The Official Preppy Handbook puts it, yawn in color.
It is an insult to prepness when Abercrombie is ranked along the likes of Ralph Lauren and LLBean.

A store in which insecure folk whom are mostly of the teenage prep demographic go to buy ripped jeans and shirts which advertise "ABERCROMBIE" on them because they are too lazy to rip their own jeans or write their own advertisement. But the cost of the clothes is unimportant because their daddy is paying for all of it.
Prep 1: Lets go buy stuff at Abercrombie
Prep 2: First let's go throw up in the bathroom.
Prep 1: Good idea that way I can fit into something most 8 year olds can't fit into.
Prep 2: But first I'm gonna go give my four boyfriends a blowjob so I can go buy the clothes.
Prep 1: No need my daddy gave me 1000 dollars for whatever I want.

It is a clothing store for teenagers. They sell very comfortable clothes, really soft, but are super expensive. They are mostly preppy clothes. usually when a person is wearing all abercrombie, many say they are rich. as much as I LOVE their clothes they are much too overpriced. I think their bags cost more to make then there simple cotton shirts. Abercrombie and fitch is the more adult store. Sizes 0-12. The child store is 8-16. THe clothes are very tight fitting. they are made for skinny people, which everybody thinks is a little bit unfair, but if you are like me and really abnormally skinny then this is probably the only store that will be able to fit you. The clothes are quality made, they last me a long time. pros: comfy, durable clothes, cons: too expensive, sizes are too small.
"look at her, all abercrombie."
"yeah, she is like super rich."

1. An outrageously expensive clothing store.
The products of Abercrombie are well-made and comfortable, but still not worth the 70$ you just paid for a paper thin jacket.
2. Sometimes idenified as preps, sluts, and wannabees. Simply known to me as rich.
1. Let's go shop at Abercrombie! I'll fit in with all the popular girls at school and snag a few hott guys! Who cares if I have to spend my lifesavings on that pink tank top?? I'll look HOTT !!!
2. Look at that Abercrombie! What a slut.

obviously you can tell that whoever wrote that first definition is white... but cracka... i am black... and abercrombie is just a brand name that white people wear to be cool... and everyone knows that it's real expensive... so white people wearing it are saying... I spent $100 on this shirt... so I am cool... HOW DUMB... ok...i guess their clothes might be cute to you... but you can find the same abercrombie shirt... without the logo... that's half the price of an abercrombie shirt... and that goes the same for hollister... only white people wear it... so if you want to be white and snoody... go ahead and spend all your money and show off.
Look at that white bitch thinking she owns the place with her dumb ass abercrombie shirt on.

A store that you will find in almost every mall, stinking of sweat and male cologne and containing the most boring and unappealing clothing you will ever find. The typical Abercrombie store will display pictures of attractive, shirtless models to draw in a certain crowd (often 13-30 year old girls, and usually very self-conscious boys). The clothing in an abercrombie store is sorted in colors such as pink, white, green, or blue, however, there are rarely multi-colored clothes. There is usually a rack of clothes with t-shirts that read slogans such as "who needs brains when you have these?" and "L is for loser". Of course, there's no denying that the store is made for stupid trailer trash brats who want to look clean cut so they can fool everyone around them, all the while being laughed at behind their backs.
Tiffany: If I shop at Abercrombie, I can look like every other girl in my school AND I can be Patriotic!
Alternative prep kid: Why don't we shop somewhere else instead?
Tiffany: *stabs*
Alternative prep kid: *dead*
