Yes, Abercrombie & Fitch is still in business and the clothing it sells hasn't gotten stuck in the early 2000s. Its website has a ton of basics like t-shirts, bodysuits, and more. Plus, there's always a pair of faded, light-washed jeans with rips in the knees. You can shop online but there are also storefronts all over the U.S., Canada, and the U.K.
Today, it looks like a great brand for people who like to keep things simple in their wardrobe. While Abercrombie & Fitch does have some bold, bright-colored pieces, it mostly sells things that work best for everyday wear.
At the top of the Abercrombie & Fitch homepage, there's a banner that says, "This is Abercrombie Today. Today — and every day — we’re leading with purpose, championing inclusivity, and creating a sense of belonging."
This banner also has a button that links viewers to a different page where the brand says it's holding itself accountable for the controversial statements Jeffries said when he ran the brand.
When he ran the company, Jeffries spoke about the kind of people he wanted to wear Abercrombie & Fitch. One comment that sums up people's outrage is something he said to Salon, according to US Weekly.
"Are we exclusionary? Absolutely," Jeffries said. "Those companies that are in trouble are trying to target everybody: young, old, fat, skinny. But then you become totally vanilla."
According to Jeffries, Abercrombie & Fitch only wanted cool, young, and thin people to wear their clothes. But the outrage about his comments led to him stepping down from the brand in December 2014.
