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

Kickass shop usually found in malls. A shop with preppy-style shirts, but who gives a fuck. Their shirts are awesome, hilarious, and you can get some for half the price of Abercrombie's shirts. People that diss this shop are (1.)fucking retarded, (2.)havent even been there, (3.)or they just hate an asshole that happens to be a "Prep", so they stereotype all preps.

Look at that fuckin awesome shirt from AE!

American Eagle

A store where basically everything goes on clearance after a month, making the $40 price tag on a skirt much more affordable. Generally confused with being preppy, American Eagle sells beachy clothing. Before you say AE is preppy, compare it to Brooks Brothers or Lilly Pulitzer. See my point?

A good place to get stuff to layer. Just don't make my mistake and go into AE looking for bright preppy colors. AE's colors are basically limited to: Navy, Brown, Forest Green, Puse, and Burgundy. I liked their kahki and white shorts, it's hard to find simple items like plain shorts anymore.

Grace: Like omg I'm wearing American Eagle! I am such a prep!

Muffy: Like heck you are, have you ever even been in a REAL prep store before? Not that crappy AE and Abercrombie junk that fits to tight. *smoothes our pink flower print skirt*

American Eagle

A clothing store that isn't clique specific, but caters to a somewhat preppy crowd.

A clothing store that I love.

Girl 1: All but two pairs of my jeans are from American Eagle.

Girl 2: I know, right? I love AE.

its funny how ppl are saying, real preps were polo and lactose, and American Eagle is just a poser brand. Did you ever think that people don't buy the clothes because they wanna be a prep? Maybe they buy the clothes because they like the way they look *gasp* thats a new concept

Prep: Oh my gawd, your a American Eagle poser, your not wearing lactose.

AE Wearer: Maybe I'm not trying to be a prep, maybe its stupid paying a lot of money for clothes, when a cooler cheap alternative is right in front of you

American Eagle

An nice store with fashionable, comfortable clothing. Most think that this store is for preps, but a true prep would never be found anywhere near this store. The clothes are somewhat cheaper than abercrombie and fitch, and in my opinion a lot less slutty and a lot more comfortable (if you buy the correct size). Clearance racks here are THE BEST. You can get a kickass pair of jeans for 15$, and if you can't afford that then you are just dirt poor, hun.
Just because you shop here doesn't mean you are trying to "fit in," because you can layer the shirts to look different than what everyone else is wearing, if you wish. And I'm pretty sure that everyone wears jeans, so just because you buy a pair of jeans here doesn't mean you are trying to fit in. It means you like comfy jeans, dammit.
They have clothes for everyone. It isn't only for preps.
I don't buy stuff there to be "cool," i buy stuff there because i like it.
People who disgrace this store are so pathetically desperate to "not fit in" that they don't notice how awesome this place is.
So yeah.

Kid1: omigod you shop at American Eagle you are such a poser/prep/unoriginal person!!!!11111shift

Kid2: Hahahahaaaa.... no. These jeans are really comfy, try 'em.

Kid1 tries on the jeans.

Kid1: These ARE comfy! I'm gonna buy some right now but i have to hide the brand name so I'm not accused of being a poser/prep/etc....

Kid2: -sigh-

a less expensive version of abercrombie. american eagle doesn't have a brand stamped on every single one of their shirts. that's what i like about it.

they have the cutest skirts. i love their beach skirts, they work really well w/ converses.
