Re: abercrombie - yes or no. are they worth the prices?

Personally, I say no. I think I own one pair of jeans from them.. which were about $70. Way more than I'd like to spend on a pair of jeans IMO. (But they fit good - so with my bubble butt - I have to take what I can get - lol) But honestly - I find the same kind of stuff in Aeropostale, Gap, Old Navy etc. for a fraction of the price. I don't know what the appeal of a plain polo top with a moose on it is anyway - let alone to want to spend over $50 on it. Everyone has their opinion, but I personally think its overrated.

Re: abercrombie - yes or no. are they worth the prices?

I never shop at Abercrombie. I find tons of great clothes for much better prices from other stores (JC Penny, Old Navy, etc.). Of course I rarely buy casual clothes now that I have to wear dress clothes for work 5 days a week, but even when I do shop casual, I don't see the point in paying so much money for a pair of ripped jeans or a plain t-shirt when I get those same items (without the holes!) for half the price at other stores!

I am way too frugal to buy something just for the brand..... I could care less what brands my clothes are! My favorite pair of jeans ever I bought for $15 at Kohls!

Re: Abercrombie - Are they worth the prices?

I am not a fan of Abercrombie. It's not the prices, it's the clothes I don't like. Besides their clothes are WAY to small! Skirts look like headbands in that place!

Re: Abercrombie - Are they worth the prices?

i'm not a fan. the clothes are really small. like their size 6 is a size 2 in regular clothes. lol.
and i too don't get the appeal of a worn t-shirt for $50

Re: Abercrombie - Are they worth the prices?

I've never gotten into Abercrombie, its not my look. Even if I did like the stuff, the prices are ridiculous, you can spend the same money on quality pieces at other stores that will last way longer

Re: Abercrombie - Are they worth the prices?

i think ive walked into that store like 4x in my life (thanks to being friends with gay guys who love shopping). they over charge you for something that looks like you got it at a thrift store. my sister used to go there, until with the help of me and common sense she realised it was kinda stupid and now she doesnt (until i moved, she would just steal my clothes a lot of times). not to mention i have some moral/personal issues with the company in general, but thats just me.

Re: Abercrombie - Are they worth the prices?

"Casual luxury"-- so gimmicky. I've owned several things from them and they're overrated. If you have the extra $$$ to throw around on clothes like that, fine.. but these days, many less expensive companies produce shirts of the same quality as AF(the soft worn in cotton tshirts that are popular). Also, I'm a small girl and can barely squeeze into their "small" tops. Weird sizing

Common, they are selling these small little flimy thin, shirts that has cost them PENNIES to manufacture and theyre selling it for $50-$60. Its super sad and wrong. This company aims for white, thin, rich kids and its wrong. The white rich and thin all American rich kid. *vomits* Ugh, dont know what else to say, cuz I have many things to say about this pile of Sh*t company, but I wont. Ohhhh yeah, theyre sizes are tiny aswell. A size small and even extra small will fit my arm. Its sick!

To answer you question simply, No, they are most certainly NOT worth the prices. Better off going to wal-mart. LOL.
oh my god, i officially love you!

Re: Abercrombie - Are they worth the prices?

I only entered it once, but it's not anything special that would make me to spend in dollars for clothes that here in Brazil i can find with the same quality and even more beautiful for 1/2 of their price. I remember I entered on a store called Chill on Broadway (not sure if it was that name or just Chill) at SoHo and me and my sister bought 3 skirts and 1 top. 2 of 3 skirts - those summer skirts that go to the knee, it was summer and here is hot the entire year - and 1 top that had some embroidery were 10 dollars, and other skirt was 15 dollars. A real bargain And all of them nice
