| Americans, especially American teenagers, seem to be a shirt and jeans society. Like every rule there are exceptions, but the majority of people not confronted with dress codes can be seen wearing this basic outfit. Like it was mentioned in the quote, there are name brands that seem to dominate the clothes that we wear: Abercrombie & Fitch, Bebe, Express, Limited, and many others. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| People and designers alike seem to love clothes that already look dirty and worn when you buy them. At first, it seemed this was just a new trend for girls jeans, but it has expanded to almost any clothing item that can be made of denim. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| This couple is an example of what the Limited says is in style this winter. These outfits, a simple combination of jeans and sweaters, are confortable, casual, and valued at well over $100.

Don't worry, even young children can learn how to look like everyone else from early in their lives, because the masterminds at Abercrombie & Fitch also made a store just for kids. The picture below is from the A&F Kids homepage. I'm sure parents everywhere are glad this company is showing their adolescent and younger children how to dress. |

| Almost everyone in America owns at least one pair of sneakers. They're comfortable shoes and can match almost any everyday outfit. These are a few of the most popular shoes by Steve Madden, a prominent shoe designer. Most of the shoes sold, especially for guys, are simple looking sneakers, but each of the shoes pictured here cost at least $50. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
