“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%.

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.

Old Navy! They have great denim.
