🔥 Fan Takes

Honestly, both have their perks? But I always found Hollister's dim lighting kinda...depressing 😬 Still, those jeans tho.
pacsun had those graphics tees tho; hollister just gave us dark vibes and overpriced polos lol
Hollister was THE vibe, like walking into a beach shack with those scents and vibes. PacSun? Cute but no.
