What do you think of stores like..

#1 Post by Mark »

Abercrombie and Fitch, Hollister, and American Eagle?

Personally, I love all three stores and Hollister is my favorite. But a lot of my friends hate Abercrombie for some reason. All the stores are awesome.

Does anyone shop at any of the three stores?

I don't like most stores like those because they sell simple clothes with a logo for an outrageous price (I know there are exceptions, but most do carry them). American Eagle is okay, but the others charge way too much for clothing (though not as much as Hot Topic). Other than that, I can't see any other reason to dislike them.

I guess they are a little pricey, but I don't think that outrageous describes most of the clothing. The Ezra Fitch jeans in Abercrombie though - yes. Outrageous.

But overall I think their clothes are awesome.

That was all I wore, but then I started Aeropostale-ing. :P Much cheaper if it's on sale ($5 for a $20 shirt).

It's not that I don't like those stores, I think they're nice. The prices are what I don't like. I guess I'm a cheapskate at heart. :lol: Some of the things there are a bit pricey to me. Although they do have some nice stuff.

Only 3 stores I shop in. :)

Even though I'm 20, I still wear the stuff from kids abercrombie. It fits better and is kind of cheaper. I'm funny like that...

The clothes are good quality and I really like what they look like. Unless I'm looking for like a fancy dress, those are the places I go.

I will never step into a store like Hollister of Abercrombie because I know a bunch of preppy stuck-up girls and boys that have Hollister or Abercrombie sown on every single piece of thier clothing.

Vancouver doesn't have an Abercrombie store that I know of, and I've never even heard of Hollister. However, I've been into American Eagle- prices are a little too high for my tastes, with the addition of the fact that there's just a logo slapped on everything. I prefer "blank" clothing.

I don't really know of any guys that wear stuff from there, but I own things from all 3 stores. I'm in love with my Hollister jacket and my A&F and AE shirts <3. I just don't buy things from there all the time because it is a tad pricy

I personally don't shop there because I'm really cheap when it comes to clothes, plus I don't really go for thier "clean-cut" look (also known in some circles as "preppy"). I prefer thrift stores and wierd hole-in-the-wall stores that sell unique stuff for cheap prices. If I do shop for pricier clothes, I like to shop at Express because I like thier simple, classic stuff.

I basically refuse to wear any shirt with a brand name, number, or graphic on it and pants that cost more than 35 USD, so those stores are out. Also, I'm intimidated by their salespeople and the atmosphere of their shops.

Hmm. I don't particularly like them - some of their clothes I like but they're a bit out of my normal spending zone (read: my parents don't give me money because my horse takes up all my money), and then some of the clothes...I swear they're more hole than fabric. A few artistic rips and such are okay, I suppose, but I don't understand huge holes down the legs and stains and stuff, all on purpose.

And, the Hollister store in the mall nearby makes me feel claustrophobic. I'm not, but...sheesh. Anyway.

I won't deny that I secretly covet maybe a pair or two of the less-hole-y jeans, because I love jeans, and I think those jeans look good. Plus my best friend's always buying them so I get a tad bit jealous.

Seriously? Most of my friends (who are guys) wear a lot of stuff from there.

Then what shirts do you wear? o_O lol Jeans in AE and Hollister are only like $40. My mom flips out if I want any with holes in them, because she buys all my clothes for me. lol She says if I want jeans with holes in them, we'll buy a pair from Sears and rip them ourselves. lol

Everyone in my town hates Abercrombie, including me. Most wear Old Navy, Aeropostale, Gap, and American Eagle clothes.

And the Abercrombie store at South Shore Plaza plays music you can hear like 5 stores away -_-
