I want to get straight to the point. When did Abercrombie get so chic? I'm shocked, and trust me, I'm not the only one feeling this way. The Who What Wear fashion editor Slack channel has been buzzing with enthusiasm about the 2000s mall brand lately, with everyone raving about its new styles. My colleagues have been saying things like, "They’re completely elevating their style" and "I'm absolutely obsessed with Abercrombie at the moment!"
Abercrombie has made quite the impression on the fashion crowd of late, and for a good reason. You only need to spend a few minutes in the brand's new-arrivals section to see that there's more to love than its best-selling, well-fitting women's jeans. There's also an excellent selection of high-quality wardrobe essentials that are both luxe and versatile, which is why it's become the ultimate destination for duplicating The Row's anti-trend aesthetic and minimalist approach to fashion on a budget.
For example, look at the new drop-waist dresses, perfect for a day at a beach club in Saint-Tropez, or the tube tops, ideal for your next date night. I'm also a fan of this cropped trench coat, which I'd style with shorts and a solid tee for a day of shopping, as well as this linen vest-and-skort set, which is office-appropriate and heat wave–friendly. These pieces—and many more—embody low-key luxury, all for under $150.
I highly recommend checking out Abercrombie's new summer collection if you want expensive-looking and versatile pieces that will seamlessly take you into fall.
Fashion people agree that linen pants are the modern and forward choice right now. Run before these sell out in your size.
Style this with long white shorts. Something about a black tube top and crisply tailored bottoms looks so expensive.
Celebrities like Bella Hadid and Emma Stone agree that the capri-pant trend isn't going anywhere. So get on board and grab yourself a pair.
Linen shorts are essential this summer. This chic design features timeless stripes and flattering pleating details. Additionally, the shorts have a partially elasticated waistband, providing unparalleled comfort for all-day wear.
This is the perfect top. Leave the bottom three buttons undone and style it with pajama shorts, jeans, or a maxi skirt.
The distressed wash and slouchy design, which pools at the floor, give off a vintage vibe that is sought after by all the It girls.
Believe me. Pairing this with either gray or white jeans will give you a surprisingly sophisticated look.
This amazing belt resembles Toteme's wide oval belt but costs less than $50. I couldn't resist and ended up getting one in every color.
Get ready for fall by adding this stylish lightweight cropped trench coat to your wardrobe. Its boxy design makes it perfect for layering over a cozy chunky knit when the weather gets chilly.
These sandals exude sophistication reminiscent of the styles seen on high-end fashion retailers like Net-a-Porter. The exquisite white leather, contemporary square-toe silhouette, and graceful toe-ring design imbue these sandals with a sense of luxury.
Jorts are the trending shorts style of summer 2024. Pair them with a striped button-down shirt, strappy sandals, and a camisole.
If this gorgeous dress is still available in your size, I highly recommend purchasing it right away.
This dress combines the latest trends: linen and white dresses.
This is bound to sell out. The thick knit and scoop-back detail make this rich-looking.
Suddenly, I'm so into carpenter-style jeans.
I've been on the hunt for the best day-to-night summer bag for the weekend. This bag meets all my requirements and is just what I've been looking for.
This dress is so good. I'm torn between the pale pink and black.
Ever since I saw L'Agence's, Mother's, and Frame's collarless denim jackets, I've been determined to own one. Fortunately, I found this one that is just as chic and fits perfectly into my budget.
This top is so versatile. It can be styled with wide-leg trousers, baggy jeans, a miniskirt, a maxi skirt, or tailored shorts.
I absolutely adore the way this skirt is styled here. The delicate mesh flats and crisp white tank top perfectly complement the simple skirt.
Every detail hits the classic design, from the double-breasted buttons to the buckle details on the cuffs.
Rest assured this top is crafted from the brand's exclusive crinkle nylon active fabric, so you won't have to worry about steaming or ironing.
I have no notes. Style it just as you see it here.
I'm always so impressed by Abercrombie's selection of effortless linen pants.
A relaxed striped T-shirt is a French-girl favorite.
You'll get so much use out of this dress. It can be worn to the office, for date night, or a cocktail party.
This jacket looks way more expensive than its price tag.
Time to upgrade your go-to going-out top.
I need to see these pants styled with the top above.
Wearing lingerie-inspired pieces out in the world is no longer taboo.
I can't choose between the cream, black, navy, and pink.
