theres no good reason to be wearing hollister and A&F still

Are you directing this towards everyone in general, or just to men?
My reason for shopping there is that they actually carry my size. Their sizing (in womens) in more true to size, than say, Express. Although the quality @ Express is better, and the clothes are cheaper. Express and a bunch of other brands (including H&M) have succumbed to vanity sizing. This may be good for women who are taller and with a larger body shape, but it's detrimental to petite women who once were their loyal customers. Urban Outfitters sizing is kind of a hit and miss, since it's not really their own line - they carry other brands there as well. I'm not willing to shell out a ton of money for major designer clothes, unless I know they'll last a really long time. And even then, I still have trouble with sizing. ;/


However, I noticed that sizing for men has stayed relatively the same. Not to say that sizing is the same across all brands, but rather that if you know your sizes (which can still vary) for different brands, it's more consistent. Sometimes you won't even need to try on something, because you know it will fit (for fitted clothes as well). It's not the same case for women. I can try on two shirts of the same size, and they still won't fit the same way, even if they are of a similar design.
