I love the clothes at AE. Not only are they fashionable but they ACTUALLY LAST! I'm a hardcore horseback rider (riding almost every day, rain, snow or shine) and the 2 pairs of jeans I bought from AE for riding have lasted like 2 YEARS with the immense amounts of stress I've put on them. Yes, they're stained. But there aren't any holes to be found!
I also love how the staff are super willing to help you find anything you need. You never have to leave the change room... until you've found the clothes in the style and size you want.
They also have sizes that a lot of these other "trendy" stores don't offer. I have always hated going into any of the Stitches or Bluenotes stores because I'm ALWAYS searching for hours to find the proper size. I'm a 12-short and lots of stores have nothing that will have both the width and length I need! AE has TONS of things in my size and in multiple styles, and they don't "suck" my hips in too tight! :) read more
