abercrombie

The type of clothing worn by Aberzombies, a peculiar specimin which infest college campuses and upscale suburban high schools across the North American landmass.

Nominally a human being, the Aberzombie is easily identifiable by large advertisements worn on its chest and buttox. It tends to come from wealthy stock, drives an SUV and mates exclusively with other Aberzombies.

The musical taste of the Aberzombie is limited to bands like Dave Matthews and O.A.R. Its SUV is typically emblazoned with a sticker reading "DMB" so as to communicate its bland taste in music to potential mates.

The Aberzombie is not without its natural enemies, however. Most prominent among them are independent thought and a sense of style. The Aberzombie will go to great lengths not to face such horrific ideas, most often by associating only with fellow Aberzombies. In the rare case that it is exposed to outside ideas/free thought, it will utilize its only defense mechanism: complaining that others are envious and simply cannot afford Abercrombie clothing.

A clothing store that is so expensive that gift certificates make you pay extra for the clothes you buy. The company will, in many cases, "pre-wrinkle" the shirts for you. Jeans can also be purchased with a holes already in them. The clothes feel, oddly enough, like they've already been used.

It's just a fucking clothes store.

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??

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.

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.

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.
