Hollister Co. is a teen and young-adult label owned by Abercrombie & Fitch Co., launched in 2000 with its first store at Easton Town Center in Columbus, Ohio. Its Southern California surf backstory, including a 1920s founder, is fiction invented by A&F. The range covers logo tees and hoodies, denim, cargos and swim, with a Y2K-leaning fit direction, plus sister activewear line Gilly Hicks. Recent moves include a Lollapalooza festival capsule and The Hollister Collection at Target, a dorm and home partnership launched June 2026. Hollister now drives most of A&F's growth.

| Shirts & overshirts | slightly small | slim through chest and armholes; camp/flannel styles are looser | regular | Take one size up if you want room across the chest, or choose the relaxed/camp cut. | low |
| Trousers & pants | slightly large | cargos and parachute styles are intentionally loose and roomy | regular to long, often pooling at the hem on shorter wearers | Stay true to size or even size down, as the baggy cargo silhouettes already sit loose. | low |
| Jeans & denim | true to size | broad range from skinny to baggy and loose; stretch denim gives with wear | multiple inseams offered, generally accurate | Order your measured waist and pick the named fit carefully, since slim and skinny styles feel tight in the thigh. | medium |
