In a groundbreaking move, Abercrombie Kids has launched its highly anticipated Everybody Collection, featuring a diverse range of clothing and accessories designed for all children. This collection, which offers over twenty stylish items, was developed in response to customer feedback expressing a desire for fashion choices that transcend traditional gender norms.
“Our customers are at the heart of our brand, and we continuously strive to respond to their needs,” stated Lisa Thompson, Brand President of Abercrombie & Fitch and Abercrombie Kids, in a recent press release. “Both parents and children want the freedom to choose styles and colors without being constrained by gender labels. The Everybody Collection represents a unified assortment that embraces the latest trends in color and design.”
Pricing for the collection is accessible, with items starting at $20 for t-shirts and hats, and going up to $70 for a stylish bomber jacket that I wish came in adult sizes.
The collection’s standout feature is its single sizing system that ranges from sizes 5/6 to 15/16, eliminating the need for separate “boys” and “girls” versions of each item. Another thoughtful aspect is the placement of this collection at the center of each store, allowing kids to freely explore clothing styles and colors that resonate with them—without the anxiety of choosing from a “wrong” section.
As a parent, I’ve witnessed firsthand how societal expectations can impact a child’s self-expression. My five-year-old son, who adores wearing red and pink, often faced teasing from older kids about his favorite Shopkins shirt being “girly.” The realization that he was gravitating towards the “girl’s department” has made shopping a source of stress instead of joy. The Everybody Collection offers a refreshing solution to this dilemma, making fashion enjoyable and inclusive for all kids.
With options like chic silver slides priced at $25 and a versatile hoodie at $40 that could easily be passed down to siblings, this collection is a step toward a more inclusive retail environment. It’s a promising development that we hope to see mirrored by other retailers in the industry.
