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.
Example:
She may look like a prep in that white
pleated skirt from
Abercrombie, but regardless of how I might choose to stereotype her, she looks hot.
