Stores for Teens and Young Adults: Including Abercrombie and Fitch, American Eagle, and Hollister

Boricua
When you go to a shopping mall there are usually several stores that teens and young adults frequent. Here you will find a guide to some of these stores that are geared towards teens and young adults.

One of the most popular stores is Abercrombie and Fitch. This includes Abercrombie and Fitch, Abercrombie (which offers Abercrombie and Fitch clothes in children's sizes), and Hollister. All three stores sell items of a similar style for both males and females. This chain is very popular and very expensive, although Hollister is slightly less expensive. When you walk into one of these stores you will hear loud music and get a strong whiff of cologne, which must be sprayed on mannequins at regular intervals. If you don't want to deal with the headache check out their websites. The clothing style is very casual and somewhat preppy. Their items include t-shirts and jeans with holes in them.

American Eagle is very similar to Abercrombie and Fitch with less music and cologne. American Eagle is usually less expensive than A&F, although it can still be pricey. They also sell stylish casual clothes for both males and females, and their clothing may be slightly more casual than A&F. They also have a great web site that offers clothing in all sizes, including those hard to find in the stores.

The cheapest route for this style clothing for both males and females is Aeropostale. They sell clothing of a preppy, casual style similar to A&F and American Eagle at a much more reasonable price. The clothing is also very popular among teens and young adults, although they do have several items geared towards younger teens. Aeropostale also sells pants and shirts suitable for some school uniforms.

For those into the gothic and punk rock style you have Hot Topic (for males and females) and Torrid, which specializes in women's plus size clothing. Both of these stores are fairly reasonably priced and offer items such as t-shirts with band logos, pants with chains, and other similar items of a gothic or punk rock style. You can also find accessories such as shoes, bags, and buttons. Torrid also has dressy items appropriate for work or evening wear. During prom season, and other similar events, Torrid also has dresses appropriate for the occasion.

For girls, stores such as Wet Seal and Charlotte Russe are very popular. Both stores are very reasonably priced and sell everything from casual to dressy, including all of the accessories. For more work appropriate attire males and females can explore Express. Express also sells evening attire and is generally not as casual as previously discussed stores. However, these items tend to be on the pricey side.

Next time you are at the mall check out one of these stores. A teen or young adult you know is sure to find something they like from one of these stores.

Enjoy you shopping trip!

    Hollister doesn't really do sizes well, the waist of larges are good but the arm size is for someone with a small size. Same for Abercrombie. They also have bad quality clothing. But American Eagle is good, they have good sizing for all sizes and perfect quality clothing. The only thing is the prices but I guess it's because of the quality.

    You people are stupid for complaining about Abercrombie's prices because every single item of their's goes on sale a few months after it first comes out! Just be patient and wait until it goes on sale or just go in the clearance section! You don't need to always buy from the front of the store! (The new stuff is in the front)

    The person who wrote this article knows nothing about Abercrombie or Hollister! And Aero and American Eagle are definitly nothing like Abercrombie. PLEASE choose someone who actually knows something about these stores to write and article about them! Btw: Abercrombie's prices are not pricey at all compared to other stores! Anyone knows that!

    Although i somewhat like abercrombie and hollister, THEY DONT HAVE GOOD QUALITY! I have so many tanks and shirts that have HOLES in them even though i take very good care of my clothes. And anyway, EVERYBODY shops there so it's better to go to forever 21 and H&M for clothes.
