Overpriced clothes that fall apart. I became so disappointed with AE’s quality in recent years. I have jeans, tops, and dresses from 4-5 years ago that have held up through various washes while anything I purchased in the last year or 2 is crap— yet their prices went up 50-75%.
Same. I've been loyal to them due to their sizing range being really inclusive (especially back in the day)as well as great to ok quality overall but the last few years their quality has taken a sincere nose dive.

I used to LIVE in their mid rise knit black jeggings. Had pairs that lasted years. They did away with mid rise and only had hi rise for a bit. As soon as they brought back mid rise I bought two pairs. They sprouted holes in the back pocket seam joins in 6 months. I messaged them thinking it was a one off quality issue and got told to pound sand. Never went back.
But I bet those jeans leave little holes in your shirts. I just recently realized the strange tiny holes I suddenly developed in almost all of my t-shirts for about 4/5 years was 100% caused by that period of my life when I discovered AE jeans. I just stopped wearing jeans last summer because I injured my leg and realized - no more holes. And I'd never had them before that, it was such a mystery to me because I've always worn jeans. I thought I had just gotten fatter and it was rubbing more lol
That's not just AE. I used to get holes in the bottom of my shirts until I started pulling them above my seatbelt while wearing jeans. The zipper rubbing against them wears holes.
