Abercrombie has come a long way in recent years. The brand that was once known for its lack of inclusivity and questionable business practices has slowly been earning back the trust of its customers since its rebrand. Now, Abercrombie & Fitch has once again become a go-to shopping destination to find fashion essentials that people actually want – ditching heavy logos and an overall “fraternity” aesthetic for wearable, more sophisticated closet staples. In 2021, it launched its famous Curve Love Fit, and a range of extended sizing, signaling that it was (finally) ready to embrace inclusivity.
Now that Abercrombie has earned its way back into public graces, having established a large cult following on TikTok, specifically. It’s no secret that the brand has grown into a popular shopping hub for trendy styles and wardrobe basics alike. But before you fill your shopping bag and click “checkout,” – there are some tips and secrets you need to know to get the most out of your experience.
You need to know these Abercrombie & Fitch shopping secrets!
Popular Items Sell Out Fast
If you’ve ever visited the Abercrombie site looking forward to buying an item you were recommended by your fave TikToker, chances are, it’s already sold out. Sizes of popular items are notorious for selling out fast. But they do almost always come back in stock, so be sure to check back often.
Curate a List
When shopping online (or in-app), you can add items to your list to keep tabs on them with ease. This is an especially useful tool for those sold-out items you want to keep an eye on!
Check For Stackable Coupons
You may remember a couple of years back, Abercrombie had a major viral moment with its stackable coupon “glitch.” Customers were getting hauls of clothing for mere dollars (guilty as charged). Although nothing with as significant of savings has seemed to happen since, there are still times when certain coupons are stackable. So it’s always worth a try!
Wait For A Sale
Abercrombie is no stranger to a promotion or sale. While some items you may want to act fast on so they don’t sell out – some pieces are worth waiting until they to go on sale. The brand’s sales are usually pretty great, too (and are held often)!
Keep Tabs On Socials
As we mentioned above, Abercrombie has quite the social media following. Find social accounts that share sale updates and other valuable information to always have the inside scoop. For example, @influencedby_ on TikTok is always sharing sale alerts, and A&F is definitely on her radar.
Create A myABERCROMBIE Account & Subscribe To Emails
As with any retailer or brand, you are going to want to subscribe to Abercrombie’s email list to get exclusive offers and stay up to date on new arrivals. Plus, if you make a myABERCROMBIE account, you’ll earn points as you shop and get exclusive member discounts from time to time.

Whether you purchased online or in-store, you have 30 days to return your items in their original condition for a full refund. Just be sure to keep your receipt!
Get Free Shipping When You Spend $90
Abercrombie seems to always be offering free shipping if you spend $90 or more. While you may not want to spend $90 in order to get free shipping, you’ll find it’s not all that hard to do. Wait until your cart hits the mark to press the checkout button to save some extra dollars!
Explore Its Curve Love Fit
If you’ve ever struggled to find your perfect fit that provides room in the hips and thighs yet still hugs your waist in the right way, Abercrombie’s Curve Love is about to be your new best friend. The line features additional room (two extra inches) through the hip and thigh for curve-hugging comfort. The fit is great for curvy gals in standard or plus sizes.
Get Your Perfect Hem Length
One of Abercrombies saving graces is that it offers extra short, short, regular, long, and extra long sizing for its bottoms. We, as humans, come in all different heights, after all, so shouldn’t our pants, too? A&F says yes.
