a less expensive version of abercrombie. they have cool affordable clothing, unlike abercrombie. i like how american eagle because they don't have the brand on every single shirt they sell.
they also have really good jeans for a really cheap price ($29.95).

American Eagle is a store where clothing is sold. Shopping there doesn't make you a snob/prep/rich bitch etc... I make a killing @ the clearance rack cuz boyfriend/artist jeans for $30 makes my ass look phenomenal. NOT because I want to look like everyone else. And that's coming from an 18 year old black chick who's a working college student. kthxbye.
Damn, Kristi. Where did u get those jeans?
From American Eagle.
:disgusted face: Eww. You shop there?!
Bitch, don't front. You liked the jeans before you found out they were AE...

a laid-back prep/surf-style store that sells clothes to teens other than 12-year-old anorexics and sluts; unlike most teen stores, the clothes actually fit if you buy the right size.
I went to American Eagle this weekend for some new summer clothes.

NOT COPYING ABERCROMBIE AND FITCH!!!
eatablished in early 1900's took current form (casual clothing) in 1977 (note: that is why many of their items have "77" on them)
by this time Abercrombie and Fitch was still a sporting goods store and then started selling clothes in 1988.. :::comments??myspace.com/ pnaicolada:::
im not an abercrombie and fitch hater i just hate that people think American Eagle is a ripped of version of abercrombie

Teens of good character wear these shirts to declare "I Love My Country!". In the same closets of these teens you will find Aeropostale shirts meaning "I Love My Daddy" and Hollister shirts meaning "I Love My Mommy".
Teen: I will be patriotic on July 4th and wear my American Eagle shirt.

a store for usually preppy people. they have good quality clothes for an okay price. often compared to a&f and hollister, but its actually in some ways alot different. for one thing their smalls are like a large at abercrombie.(no offense to abercrombie or anything, but it is true)
i get like all of my clothes at american eagle

a store that people like to talk shit about, apparently.

their clothes are cute, a lot of the time. they're not the best made clothes in the universe, but they're not bad either. they can be a little more than i can afford sometimes, but if that's the case, there's always the clearance rack.

really, when it comes down to it, they're just clothes. you're probably missing out on meeting a lot of cool people if you judge people by what they wear
"oh my god, look, that girl is wearing american eagle. she thinks she's preppy, but really she just can't afford abercrombie and fitch"

"um, really? who cares."
