I have a pinterest board to keep track of my goals and I pinned a A&F sweatshirt that I really liked. It's currently the most "liked" thing on my board. More than 14 complete strangers liked and re-pinned it. Most were adolescents. So yeah, looks like it's still popular with the junior high crowd.
I've always had a somewhat exaggerated hourglass (regardless of weight), so their jeans had never looked on me. I was a very early bloomer, too.
Levi's, Calvin Klein, and (somehow) Old Navy jeans are the only flattering ones for me: mid or high waisted due to my height (taller than 5'9"). I was never into the low rise fad that flooded stores in the past decade.
However, I do buy tons of tops (the ones that don't say the name of the store, of course) from those stores...and tops from Hot Topic, too. Their tops have enough room on top, so that's why I like them.
My youngest brother is 21 and he's addicted to Hollister. Well, back in PR, surfing was one of his favorite passtimes (so as horseback riding).

You sir/madam, sound like my husband: he also had a hard time finding clothes that fit him...for he's 6'5".

Nobody wears AF/AE/Aero anymore, the era of douchey huge logo clothing was mid to late 90s/early 00s. AF is trying to sell premium clothes to tweens and teens, it doesn't work. They should either move a notch down and become another HM or forever 21 and sell cheaper but lower quality stuff, OR mature , purge themselves entirely of the teen market, redo all of their ridiculous stores which pump in god awful perfumes, and focus exclusively on adult clothing for the 20 to 30 age bracket and create even more premium clothing. Somewhere in the range of like a J. Crew but below the high end fashion designers. Teens would probably laugh at you these days if you wore around an AF hoodie to school.AF tried the more sophisticated thing with Ruehl and failed miserably, but it had a lot to do with the fact that their timing was simply bad.
