Recently Aerie opened down the street from Bloomingdale's (at 716 Lexington Avenue on the corner of East 57th Street) adjoining its parent company, American Eagle. Once inside, you can walk from one store to the other.
Have you had the experience of your basics wearing out, seemingly overnight? Well it happens to me, and I love Aerie's style, quality and prices on clothing we tend to buy in multiples. You won't break the bank by picking up a few essentials such as: t-shirts, cute tops, leggings, jeans, undies, hoodies, sweatshirts and causal dresses. Inventory also includes leather jackets, belts, fashion jewelry, sweat pants and sports shoes.
Dare I address this next topic? Nowadays Aerie offers undies which are much better and cheaper than the Victoria's Secret brand. There are many styles from sporty to slinky in the collection. The leggings, undies and t-shirts are ultra soft and adorable. Gosh, so are the dresses! The fabric of the summer garments are mostly cotton, some with a touch of spandex and can be machine washed and dried. For sports, there are compression and sweat-repellent leggings. The fabric of all the clothing is substantial in thickness, not thin like many competitors.
We probably spend more hours in basics than dress clothes in our day-to-day lives. So the next time you need a few replacements, be sure to consider American Eagle and Aerie, as they combine fashion, value and friendly customer service. A retailer who provides the bang for the buck ... along with attractive sales and rewards.

Dearest Debbie,
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a nice line for very slim and young women as it appears like not being lined...
But you mention that the fabric is not thin; that would be a big plus!
Hugs,

Mariette,
DeleteMany of the dresses I saw in the stores (Aerie and American Eagle) had quite a bit of bulk -- meaning thickness and length). Also they use women with "real bodies" in all their ads, which is a good sign. I'd say the clothes aren't skimpy. Some of their competitives have began making dresses with very thin material, too thin, I beleive, to look good on a body. There needs to be a bit of weight for dresses to stay winkle-free and in place.
