Abercrombie & Fitch Has Launched A ‘Gender Neutral’ Line Of Kids Clothing And People Have Mixed Feelings

Some were highly supportive of Abercrombie’s mission.

Others were angry at Abercrombie’s take on the gender conversation.

Others have spoken out about the company including dresses and skirts for boys to wear–to be really gender neutral. The line of clothing seems to just use brighter colors and designs for guys to wear, but haven’t truly hit the nail on the head with kids who want to dress in dresses, or anything of that nature.

To be honest, I think it’s a nice step forward in a direction that accepts everyone. But, I do feel as though their execution is lacking. There are many companies that sell “unisex” clothing, that isn’t just extremely feminine (pink, short) for boys, but just generally made for both men and women. Here, I believe Abercrombie is using gender identity issues and the LGBTQ movement as a way to get their name back out there on the market–which, I don’t stand by. If you wanted to make something inclusive to all, you’d also feature a variety of people in your advertisements–not just “really, really ridiculously good-looking people from California.” Where’re the bigger men/women in your ads? Where’s the everyday looking people? Try again, Abercrombie.
