Which chain clothing store do you find to be the most cute with its

pretentious styling? Extra points for a corporation offering a rebel life style!

1. I'm sure you know what my vote was.

:P

[Fran Kubelik]

2. cute in a derogatory kind of way?

[hedgehog]

4. Cute as in "Isn't it cute to see that people think they can purchase

a life style/ image kind of way" I guess it's really a sad commentary on people's efforts to find a community or identitity.

3. Urban Outfitter.

5. A&F for being so completely, totally, unmitigatedly out of touch with it's origins

as to be unrecognizable from them.

When I first saw one in the local mall, I was puzzled--imagine my surprise when I actually stepped inside.

They used to be an outdoor sports outfitter, for those who are unaware of that.

6. I love the Jeans at Dollar General

[MilesColtrane]

7. Old Navy

Their ADD ads drenched in primary colors featuring interchangeable living Ken and Barbie dolls just screams "Kewl Kidz Klub".

8. OMG, Hollister!

Get me OUTTA THERE!

[LaraMN]

9. Our mall just got one of those!

I didn't see signage so I asked my shopping partner what store it was. She told me and I said, "Holler-what?"
She said it's "basically the same as Abercrombie and Fitch."

10. Only REALLY dark and LOUD!

and SMELLY.

11. where do you suggest people shop? what store isn't susceptible to pretentious styling?

:shrug:

and isn't accusing someone for being pretentious for shopping at a certain store a bit pretentious itself?

i'm not a fan of any of the stores listed or shopping in general, but i don't think they're "pretentious".. just aren't my style and are too expensive. most people that i know who do shop at those stores don't shope for life styles either.. just clothes.

12. Anyone who doesn't wear bespoke deserves ridicule and public derision

There's a reason you have tailors working on your estates, people!
