Abercrombie

Abercrombie is simply a clothing store for privileged teens. The people who wear clothes from Abercrombie are generally rich and extremely good-looking. This clothing line is heavily worn in the Northeast and particulary graces the shores of Long Island and Connecticut, from the ultra-affluent and ultra-posh towns of Garden City and Manhasset on Long Island to the towns of Greenwich and Westport in Connecticut. People who wear Abercrombie generally think they are better than everyone else, not because they are wearing Abercrombie , but because they simply are rich. Abercrombie is certainly a target of controversy, particulary because of its lack of racial diversity and the price of its clothes. There definitely are more expensive brands such as Lacoste, Burberry and Ralph Lauren that grace the very same shores of Long Island and Connecticut, but Abercrombie is the only one that gets criticized because of its extrememly in your face advertising. Everyone who wears Abercrombie is advertising for them. Abercrombie is an easy target for criticism, from those who either cannot afford to shop there or those who don't have the body type to look good in their skimpy clothes. While some people may feel that paying $198 for special "Ezra Fitch" jeans from Abercrombie, or $40 for a t-shirt, or $70 for a button down shirt is completely insane, there are enough people from the Northeast (mostly Long Island and Connecticut) that can afford to pay these prices and do simply to flaunt their wealth, myself being one of these people.
