As we look around we see new trends -- here today gone tomorrow, but the one trend that seems to have stuck around is the preppy yet surfer look, which is marketed to us by stores such as Abercrombie and Fitch, Hollister, and Aeropostale.
The one store I'll be focusing on today is Abercrombie and Fitch. Though very expensive, most of their fashion seems to change every 20 minutes yet seems to stay the same. When you walk in to the store you find you are bombarded with the scent of cologne that could tranquilize a horse. Still it remains to be one of the top selling cloth stores in America with its low-rise denims to its short-cut high water jeans. But the fashion statement of the season seems to be whether or not you shop here. Well let's look at why it seems that their trendy yet expensive look is very popular.
The clothing that is sold there makes you look like you have money and every one knows that money is a good thing. The question: Are they the most fashionable anymore? We see that trends are changing day to day, yet, it seems to be focusing around the same look given to us by Abercrombie and Fitch. Meanwhile, its boot cut, low rise jeans with its pain stains and light blue wash with holes here and there seem to be one of the top sellers. Also popular are its short-cut short sleeve shirts with moronic logos. The sayings on them tend to be what you see most guys who shop there wearing.
Then we have the ladies. Ah, a solid color tank top in pink or green with a pair of darker blue wash to them and holes in the knees seem to be what the ladies who shop there get. Still who can forget the very colorful and extraordinarily bright flip flops that every guy and girl that shops there are wearing around 24/7. Basically I'm saying that if you're that type of person then that's the store for you.
In closing I would say that if I had that kind of money and it was for me, I'd be there. For those that already shop there -- I guess you know what I am talking about
