For this activity I had to walk around the local mall and identify three stores for men and three stores for women. At first it was a little hard because I would walk past stores like Forever 21, Hollister, JC Penny and ect. What these stores have in common is that they are all coed stores. I was looking for stores that reinforced one gender role more than the other.
So for men (and boys) I picked Men’s Warehouse, Cap World, and Champs Sports. For women (and girls) I picked Victoria Secrets, Charlotte Russe and Torrid. I’m going to start with men (and boys) first at Men’s Warehouse the type of items they sell are suits, tuxedos, dress shirts, classy shoes and accessories. I asked the workers named Jeremy what kind of men come into buy things. …show more content…
A lot of women and even preteens shop at Victoria Secrets for bras, underwear, swimwear, and sportswear. Because Victoria secret divides there store into two parts: one part is Victoria Secrets and that’s more of lingerie type clothing and night wear while the second side is PINK which is still Victoria Secret but that side sell more sportswear, accessories and even things for your room. PINK is more for the younger customers while Victoria Secret is more for the older and classy type of women. When you walk in there lighting is not to bright but it’s not too dim either. They have a lot of pictures of the Victoria’s Secret models all over the walls which brings in more women. Charlotte Russe is more of a store that sells everything from jeans, bottom, tops, shoes, dresses, bras, underwear and even sells plus sizes for women that have a little more meat on their bones, kind of like me. Charlotte Russe is more of classy store, the type of clothes they sell is the type that you wear if you were going out on a Friday night or if you had a job interview. There lights were dimmed and they played soothing music. The last store is Torrid; this store is for women who are plus size. They have sell the same things any none plus size store would sell. This store is one of my favorites. Being a plus size woman is hard to find my size at other stores. When I walk into Torrid they light are bright the cashiers have smiles on their
