Why is hollister such a big deal?

Asked by rosaliesaurus over 2 years ago, 82 answers.

Why is Hollister such a big deal? Everyone at my school is a Hollister zombie! There's like no originality. I think Hollister's nice but overrated! C'mon! 60 dollars for a hoodie?! I'm cheap... lol . Not only that but I like setting myself apart from...

the huge crowds of Hollister zombies. I LIKE SHOPPING DIFFERENT PLACES. But... lately I've been wanting to buy a sweater from there...

Should I?

Well, I don't shop at Hollister, or Abercombie, or Aeropostal. I just like to shop where there are cute and different. I don't want to be like any other High Quality Person.
To tell you the truth, I love Gabriel Brothers. They have Name Brand clothes for a cheap price. And their clothes are different too. For me, instead of American Eagle jeans and an Abercombie T-shirt, I like to wear a patched skirt and a Beatles shirt.=]

Yeah you should buy a sweater from there. Personally i love Hollsiter and Abercrombie and i dont think its over priced, but thats my opinion. Even if you want to be different buying one sweater or even a few things wont make u the same zombie like everyone else.

I only shop at Hollister if I love something there. I agree that it is slightly overpriced for some people. I personally don't think it is. But, if you love the hoodie, go for it. If you think it's worth the money.

Actually, most people are NOT rich these days. Don't let anyone tell you that. If you want to wear clothes from other places, go for it. You should be a leader not a follower. Hollister is way too expensive, you can get some cute clothes that look like it for a lot cheaper, you just have to look. Also, try out resell stores, they get a lot of name brand clothes in, and it's way more reasonable. Bottom line..do what you want, and don't follow the crowd.

I think if you like the sweater, get it. Hollister is nice sometimes, but it's definitley not worth it to go hollister zombie as you put it :P. I think people like it so much because it makes them think theyre cooler than people who dont wear it. I'm not trying to bash people who wear Hollister, because I wear it too. I think that you should just buy what you love, no matter what brand.

try american eagle

Answered by momontherun on Aug 21, 2007, 05:15PM

i think the clothes are cheap made. hollister and abercrombie are the same company american eagle and old navy is he same company. abercrombie is also cheap made. i don't see the money for the clothes but yes i buy them for my daughter. hollister shirts are very soft. but yes we shop other places like macys, bloomingdale so on. i only buy when they are on sale the clothes are not even made in the usa. they get cheap labor and sell for high price and yes kids are so mean to the other kids that don't wear the same clothes. i remember trashing my jeans when they would get holes in them just thin at the money i could of made off the fools that spend 70. or more for a pair

Rosaliesauras, I think that you should buy what you like, and not worry about being labeled a follower, or a hollister zombie wannabe or anything like that. I shop there but that doesn't make me one. I shop there becasue every so often I see something I like. If you think the sweater would be worth the money and you really like, then go for it. Remeber, the clothes you wear doesn't make you who you are! : )

It sucks that stuff is so expensive and yeah, people at my school are all Abercrombie/Hollister zombies--most likely because I live in a really rich area, but it sickens me. I shop there if I LIKE something. But it's usually not worth it anyway because it's so expensive so I just buy it for cheaper somewhere else. Haha. Buy it if you like it and have the money.

Sooo many people shop at hollister and it is so not original. buying one sweatshirt is not a crime but their crap is overpriced, everyone has the same stuff from there.

I dont like hollister because it's all a popularity thing. it puts more pressure on teens 2 buy stuff from there or they arent cool. I dont even get what's so great about it, seriously all the shirts are the same, except for the colors. they all say hollister in big letters. yeah that's worth all that money. lol hahaha

***that sht is 4 white people*** ***their clothes are 2 no chest no azz white people***

yeah that's not being racist 1 bit... I suggest you look up the word racist because you obviously dont know what that means. you could have just said that you hate hollister you didnt have 2 be rude and add all that! that is very disrespectful. I could say stuff back about african american people, but I dont judge people based on their ethnicity, but by their attitude and personality. you could only imagine what I think of u.

im not trying 2 be rude but, GROW A BRAIN!!! and take some spelling lessons!
