Years ago, Abercrombie & Fitch took our adolescent worlds by storm. While I was more of an American Eagle kid, I'd be lying if I said the store didn't have any allure. Yes, I, too, noticed the half-naked heartthrob-like models and the heavy stench of mediocre perfume of A&F's yesteryears. However, the brand has been on a killer comeback these past couple of years, and I'm loving its lineup of elevated staple pieces.
It's accurate to say I've become obsessed with Abercrombie in adulthood. The brand now carries more inclusive sizing, allowing me to indulge in its offerings for the first time in my life. I've dug through the latest arrivals, and I handpicked 21 styles I'm currently loving. Ahead, shop an array of sleek, cool, and elevated basics and your soon-to-be new favorite staple items.
