Hollister clothing

cyber69 · 10 Aug 2011 at 20:30

I liked the look of a polo shirt on their Website but could'nt decide which size to get so I took a trip out to one of their stores at Meadowhall, Sheffield, and eventually managed to locate the said polo shirt amongst the dimly lit store.

What's with the near dark lighting in their store? Has anyone else been to a Hollister shop and rummaged around in dark to find what they're looking for?

They also gave me a smart looking bag to put my new purchase in and it had a pic of a bare male torso on it and just about to reveal everything else. I only realized this after walking around for awhile so gave the bag to my wife to carry around.

Is Hollister a gay shop?

Hollister is perhaps one of the stupidest shops in meadowhall, like walking through a room with the lights off.

This is what they do. They're incredibly pretentious.

It's the offensive fragrance they pump out the shop front that ****s me off. There's an Abercrombie (same thing) store in one of the malls I visit often and I have to hold my breath within 50ft of it.

No not gay but its worn by people in their late teens/early 20's

Normally associated with the (male part) heads or smug people.

While you were rummaging in their stock, one of their assistants was rummaging around in you. That's how it works.

I like Hollister :/

nothing quite says sheep like paying £35 for a £5 polo with Hollister Spray painted over it...

but thats just my opinion.

Ha! It's an odd shop... It's like being in a maze at night with no lighting. Never bought anything from there though.

Do they still only hire the models and use them as some sorta guide to what people should like, went in their once and had dirty looks from the staff as i wasn't that special look.
My none stylish hair or none £100 designer trousers didn't seem to cut it...

i think the cargo, cats and polo shirt may have been a clue to my style, is it comfortable? if yes then it get worn.

They must have night vision security camera's to stop people just putting items in their bags in the darkness

I walked past the Hollister shop in the Trafford Centre so many times, just thinking it was a restaurant.

A restaurant full of men with really **** aftershave?

Hollister = Awesome

But then I am 19. The bags, however, rather annoy me. Why can't they have nearly naked wimminz?

Their shops are as a stupid as this in the USA too, stupid design, near darkness inside.

There is a reason for that, they light the clothing they want you to buy, often the clothes on the mannequin are out of stock so it makes you want it and return later.

They are also known to hire staff from modelling agency. All their staff have to be good looking.

i live with a hollister manager

the whole company is comedy. she's hot though.

Why anyone would buy clothes in the dark is beyond me. American Eagle is where its at. I did notice that old navy went through a phase where all there clothes we worse quality than primark, but they seem to have bounced back.
