I never bought clothes from either stores except one time .. I think 4 years ago. I have to be honest, I don't really think it's pure "prep" fashion. It's trash to be honest. American Eagle is nice and it's not as bad and those two stores i've mentioned .. plus their clothes are too expensive .. I can go to Marshall's and buy 4 tees and the final cost would turn out to be the price of 1 pair of jeans at a& f .. I respect A/X, Lacoste, and J.crew even though they're pretty even more expensive because they have a real, authentic "preppy" original look .. but I cannot stand Hollister and A&F ..

rawr SOCK - "Hollister and A&F pretty much rule the preppy world". Wrong. A&F rules the TRENDY world. Preppy clothing is NOT what A&F revolves around. I don't think you've been to J. Crew enough to understand what "preppy" really is. Preppy is not trendy, tight jeans with a bunch of rips, nor is it spahgetti strap tops, lacy camisoles, and sandals.
"A lot of people wear thigns from Hollister and A&F" - still doesn't mean that A&F and Hollister are preppy. I concur with Statistik - A&F and Hollister are trash. I do own a few things from them, They usually clothes either given to me as gifts or I got them on SALE because they're not worth the retail price they're sold for, since I used to wear their clothes. My sis works at Abercrombie, and my friend works at A&F. So yea, I KNOW what their clothes are like. Yay for cashmere! Oh and angel_revelation, salcha4u mentioned Banana Republic, which sells very classy dress shirts. In fact, their dress shirts cost the same as A&F ones, just about. But it's obvious BR ones are better when it comes to the material. Plus, why buy a A&F or Exra Fitch pair of jeans for $160, when you can buy a NICER pair of 7 for All Mankind pair of jeans for the same price? <3 Nordy's (Nordstrom's). ;] pandamonium - I see Hollister as a cheaper version of A&F clothes. They have the same clothes though, but dif logo and sometimes in different colors. btw, did you get paid minimum wage there? Just wondering =X |

My boyfriend adores banana republic, so for christmas I got him really nice dress shirt. (originally almost 200, on sale for 85! w00t) I don't like their style (especially for girls), but Banana republic's quality (especially when it's on sale) gets my thumbs up ![]() |
