I’m a 40-Year-Old Mom, but Even I’m Buying These 10 Cool-Girl Abercrombie Styles for Summer

TikTok has brought back so many fashion trends, from layering tank tops to skorts to chokers—just to name a few. It’s also helped bring some Y2K millennial mall brands back to the collective consciousness, such as Gap, Adidas, and Abercrombie.

Abercrombie has yet again become a go-to retailer for millennials thanks to Gen Z praising its comfy and stylish jeans, wide leg pants, sundresses, and more. Its latest spring and summer selection has been going viral on TikTok; users such as @xosimplylo, @fittybritty and @krismarieerrington have been racking up views as they show off shorts, dresses, tops, and even pajamas from the site—so much so that select items are selling out fast. 

Below, I rounded up some of the most popular Abercrombie styles to snag this season, according to cool girls on TikTok:

• High Rise Mom Short, $60
• Emerson Poplin Puff Sleeve Mini Dress, $80
• A&F Sloane Tailored Linen-Blend Pant, $90
• Linen Blend Pull-On Short, $50
• Straw Clutch Bag, $50
• Premium Linen Scalloped Midi Dress, $130
• Flowy Tiered Maxi Dress, $120
• Short-Sleeve Linen-Blend Embroidered Shirt, $55 (Originally $70)
• Linen Blend Eyelet Pull-On Short, $60

High Rise Mom Short

Some might say that finding the perfect jean short is even harder than finding a pair of perfectly fitting jeans. They shouldn’t be too short, too long, too distressed, too tight, too loose…the list goes. However, Abercrombie’s High Rise Mom Short satisfies all of these requirements according to TikTokers and shoppers alike, making it a rare unicorn of a short. 

Available in sizes ranging from 23 to 37, the shorts come in seven washes and styles ranging from frayed and distressed options to more tailored and cuffed looks. TikToker @xosimplylo, who showed them off in the Medium Destroy wash, said they’re “hands-down” her favorite pair of shorts, particularly because they’re high-rise with a regular zipper. 

Emerson Poplin Puff Sleeve Mini Dress

Does Abercrombie make the perfect summer sundress? It seems so. With flattering ruching and puff sleeves for volume, the Emerson Poplin Puff Sleeve Mini Dress is a winner on the platform. Made from a breathable, easy cotton poplin fabric that can be machine washed, the pretty prints, pastel colors, and flirty mini length scream “coquette.” The dress comes in 10 colors ranging from garnet to a blue floral and is available in XXS to XXL, with lengths in petite, regular, and tall. 

User @krismarieerrington called out how it’s “super easy” to wear, “has pockets,” and “can be dressed up or down”; she loved it so much she even featured two prints in two separate videos. The reviews on Abercrombie’s site are equally as good—one reviewer said it was a “tall size game changer” thanks to its perfect length, while another called it “the perfect day” dress for everything, from “family photos” to a “grad school graduation.” 

Premium Linen Scalloped Midi Dress

Buy on Abercrombie.com$130

A scallop detail makes everything sweeter and prettier, and the Premium Linen Scalloped Midi Dress is a win. Made from 100 percent linen, it’s breathable for hot summer days. The midi length, which is available in sizes petite, regular and tall, is perfect for a more elegant occasion, while a clean column skirt and side-slit detail offers just a hint of sexiness. Center-back smocking that stretches to a perfect fit makes it comfortable, and the straps can be removed to make the dress fully strapless. TikToker @krismarieerrington loved the dress, saying it’s “literally adorable” and that the white version is perfect for summer brides. Plus, user @xosimplylo called it “so freaking good.”

The French Blue shade is almost gone, so I’d grab the white ASAP before it sells out, too.

Linen Blend Eyelet Short-Sleeve Shirt and Shorts

Abercrombie does us millennials a solid thanks to its matching sets section, where you can find comfy and cute pieces to mix and match under one shopping tab. One set in particular has caught the eye of TikTok. @fittybritty, who is a size 14/16, demonstrated how good the Linen-Blend Eyelet Short-Sleeve Shirt and matching pull on shorts look at any size. She opted for the white with black piping version, but it also comes in all-white and all-black. The scallop detail adds a hint of femininity, while the button-down style brings in sophistication. Use it as a daywear run-around set or pop it on over a swimsuit.
