Summer madness

well nearly everyone is bck from their travels abroad over the summer. did anyone else go completely crazy in canada/america and buy a ridiculous amount of AE clothing? i have a sneaking suspicion everyone in college is going to have exactly the same clothes!

Pardon my ignorance but what is AE clothing? I did go shopping mad in both the US and Canada this summer. Even bought a wetsuit, in case I take up water sports

Just found their website. Some alright looking clothes but too preppy for me. I'm not a follower so wouldn't wear any of them.

My brother is just back from his J1 and between him and his friends they seem to have bought every single item of clothing in Abercrombie, American Eagle, and Aeropostale! Hoodies and shirts galore.

But isn't it the same in every single college? And hasn't it been like this since the dawn of time? Years ago everyone came back with Tommy Hilfiger and RL clothing, then it was all the Roxy and Quiksilver gear, and now it's the "luxury sportswear" brands. I know in UCD and Trinity a lot of the students looks like they're sponsored by these companies and there's always a look that a lot of the students subscribe too - short ruffled skirts and Ugg boots in the depth of winter in the Arts block in UCD is one that springs to mind from last year.

Didn't go mad in AE. Though Abercrombie was fairly poor tbh.

I guarantee there will be UCSB hoodies EVERYWHERE in ucd/trinity.
