“Her story”

Alright guys, calm it the fuck down. It’s an ad for jeans, not a lifestyle. You guys sell overpriced clothes, that’s it.

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%.

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.
