Abercrombie & Fitch’s fashion resurgence has been well-reported, and the ‘90s-era brand is now heading in a new fresh direction, emphasizing minimalist-chic clothing and workwear, as well as inclusive sizing and affordability. At Forbes Vetted, the brand is an editor-favorite for everything from summer maxis to sporty minis to comfortable t-shirts and linen pants.
The only drawback: Some of the most popular styles on the site often sell out quickly. To stay ahead of the frenzy, we rounded up the best things to buy at Abercrombie, including summer clothing and accessories, as well as year-round essentials for men and women.

What To Consider About Abercrombie & Fitch
Sizing & Fit
Overall, reviewers report that Abercrombie & Fitch clothes are typically true to size, but it’s always a good idea to pay attention to comments on specific items. Abercrombie & Fitch has become known for their inclusive sizing options. Many dresses are available in different fits, including petite, regular and tall. Most pants are available in short, regular and long lengths so you don’t have to make an extra trip to the tailor. Abercrombie & Fitch’s Curve Love pants and denim accommodate curviness through the hips and thighs while being intentionally fitted at the waist to prevent gapping.
Fabric And Care
Pay attention to fabric composition when purchasing Abercrombie & Fitch items as this will influence their weight, formality and care requirements. Most come in easy to launder cotton or poly blends. For summer, Abercrombie has lots of items cut from linen blends, which are airy and lightweight, but they may wrinkle more easily due to the nature of the fabric. Certain polyester blends, or those with stretch, should not be exposed to high heat or they can degrade or take on a shiny hue. We recommend consulting care details before purchasing so you can be certain a product is right for you.
