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.

A real great clothing store. They sell very cute and casual clothes.
Personally i like AE more than Hollister because Hollister just seem too beach bummy..theres holes in everything and the clothes dont seem to fit anyone in the :large: catagory,But AE fits everyone and has different types of clothing not only for preps. if you walk into the store they play a wide variety of music.
Oh, and their models actually show the clothing...not their bodies haha.
I've been shopping at AE for 5 years(before it was popular) and they have not changed their comfy casual clothing. My all-time favorite store.
And for those who hate American Eagle just because its popular...try on a shirt...theres a reason this place is so popular :

American Eagle (AE, A&E, AEO) is a popular teen clothing store. Its competitors are Abercrombie and Fitch, Hollister Co., and Aeropostale. Out of these stores, American Eagle is the 2nd most affordable clothing with Aeropostale ranking as the cheapest.

Many people think that only rich preps and posers shop there to fit in at school, but a lot of people(who definitely are not rich) shop there because they actually like the clothes. AE provides great clothes at an affordable price (that is, when it is on the clearance section). Anyone besides 'preps' can shop here also!

The trick to shopping at A&E without paying such an expensive price is to shop at the clearance section at the store or online. It is possible to get 10 items for 100 bucks, which really is not bad.

Con: Since a lot of people shop here, it's hard to be unique and some styles are similar to Hollister, AF and Aero..
Nemo: Hey, I like your shirt! Where'd you get it from?
Dory: I got it from american eagle for 7 bucks!
Nemo: Nice! It looks better than my 8 dollar shirt that says 'old navy' all over it! Maybe I'll shop there next time!

most people think that people who shop at american eagle want to fit in, but that's not true. people sometimes think that they don't have enough money to shop at abercrombie, so they shop here. american eagle has really cute stuff.
i love their clothes. they have the cutest skirts that you can wear for any occasion. they also have really cute jeans. i love their jeans because any figure can fit those jeans w/ a good fit.

clothing store where people with a sense of style shop.

Guys who wear AE make the girls melt. Like me. I get more girls than the stud who wears wal-mart.
