<p>RALPH LAUREN</p>
<p>and </p>
<p>J Crew</p>
<p>Lacoste owns all</p>
<p>It's tough for me too look at a dude in A&F with a straight face, because their store is decked out with naked man posters. Besides that, most people know how to get their swagger right with their clothes.</p>
<p>oh, ladies, keep doing the skirt + boots, i think its quite hawt. :D</p>
<p>I see them all the time, especially hoodies.
I do shop those places time to time because its pretty cheap... mostly AE and occasionally AF. AE had amazing sales and had cheap tops so... whatever. LOL.
I wear whatever that I like~</p>
<p>I mix AE/AF styles so it won't look like typical AE/AF style. I was wearin AE tops/shorts and somehow I ended up looking.. punk or something according to my professor o_O lol.</p>
<p>I like vintage clothes too... but stuff I spend money on is mostly jeans as I started collecting designer jeans and bags. :) Shoes and tops, I just wear stuff I like the design of whatever the brand.</p>
<p>Lacoste, Polo Ralph Lauren, and Northface rule all at UNC. Southern Tide is also getting bigger here.</p>
<p>I think AE, Hollister, AF are cheap. The quality is atrocious.</p>
<p>I don't have one article of "name brand" clothing in my closet and am extremely proud of the fact.</p>

It really depends which college, but yeah many students do wear them. You won't see as many wearing them at U Bridgeport as you will at Wake Forest. Funny when a kid from rural Nebraska wears "CALI SURF CLUB" tees when he's never seen the ocean once, let alone been to California. But I just have a good laugh and move on.

<p>LOL, what? Did you mean that you'll see more people wearing them at Bridgeport? Because nobody at Wake wears Hollister or American Eagle (maybe a little Abercrombie, but not much, and definitely not the obnoxious brand Ts or anything). It's all about the super expensive designer/boutique clothing or Polo, Lacoste, J. Crew, Vineyard Vines, etc.</p>
<p>boooooooooooooooooo, thrift stores are cheaper.</p>
<p>Reading all this critizism of American Eagle, Hollister etc... on this website I still would buy and wear these names brand in college.</p>
<p>J Crew, is nice but I've always seen them as trying to attract those in their late 20's or more so 30's. Lactose seem to attract all age groups.</p>
<p>...no one here likes banana republic?</p>
<p>Like J Crew I see banna republic trying to attract those well into their 30's.</p>
<p>^Yeah, I like their stuff but I only hit it up at outlets. They're overpriced for their quality, imo.</p>
<p>Ben Sherman has some nice stuff too.</p>
<p>i love banana republic--everything's so classy (i can only afford to shop at the outlet though haha)</p>
<p>Christian Audigier, Affliction etc ftw.</p>
<p>^LMAO</p>
<p>10char</p>
<p>I have a few shirts from those stores that I wear occasionally. They aren't logoed so it's hard to tell sometimes.</p>
<p>I know people in their 30's that wear A&F and Hollister so it's not like it's only a high school thing.</p>
<p>i actually find that a little creepy...but yeah i know a bunch of banana republics in NYC with excellent deals...overpriced everywhere else though..</p>
<p>Banana Republic is aight, get buttondowns from them on occasion.</p>
<p>also I agree with dude talking bout Christian Audigier and Affliction. Although not really into $40-150 for a tee, they make nice stuff.</p>
<p>Urban Outfitters/American Apparel/H&M/Zara anyone?</p>
