Who shops there?

I decided to splurge $150 on a wardrobe makeover at American Eagle since they are having a sale right now. Plus, I'm getting tired of wearing clothes from Walmart or Kohls.
 
Get yourself a programmable sewing machine.

You can have all of the name brands, sewn into your cheaper clothes, and save a fortune.
 
I sometimes shop there but honestly most of the time I can't. They don't make 36x30 pant/jeans only 38x32/36x32 which then drags the [censored] jeans on the ground. Their T-Shirts/Shirts have those sleeves that are like half sleeves so when you raise your arm it raises the shirt instead of just the sleeve.

I like their Winter apparel the most, but most of the time I shop at Old Navy, it's cheap and just as good. Occasionally I goto Khols for some clothes as well but rarely(as the lines are INSANE)

Before that I used to shop at Macy's, Nordstrom's, Lord & Taylor. No more, 100 bucks would buy me a shirt and jeans. At Old Navy it buys me several jeans and several shirts. Same thing at Khol's, you find killer wardrobes and get several outfits for that hard earned 100 dollars. That name brand [censored] isn't worth a cent in my eyes. I have a cousin who's mother to this day still buys his clothes and what not. He's the baby of the family, he had a brand new BMW 3 series after HS graduation, now he has an inifiniti and his mom buys him Armani Exchange clothes($200 shirts, $200 jeans etc). Kid has no idea what the value of money really is.

Ask a girl from school to take you shopping for clothes, and then wear them to school. She'll tell all her friends to check you out. This is money.

I've actually sewn shirts and pants for myself when I was unemployed and had lots of time. Unfortunately, the material often costs more than the finished product from the store. Plus, the stores have better material in their finished product than what you can get from the fabric stores.

The game is strong with this one.

So you got one t-shirt and one pair of jeans for that splurge?

Oily has got the right idea for sure!
 
I quit buying expensive clothes. I have all the Diesel Jeans and such packed away if I ever decide to go to Vegas again but not likely. Every once in a while you'll find some rich parent selling the kid's uber expensive jeans on e-bay becuase they don't fit for like 1/4 price, usually several pair. Occasionally I'll pick those up. Thinking back on all the money I could've saved on those $200-$600 jeans, well, back then it probably would've gone to alcohol anyway lol. The only redemption is I still have every pair except for one. They just don't wear out and some are 7 years old.

To the OP, it never hurts to have a set of nice clothes, just don't be a retard like me and get carried away.

Yeah, I was gonna ask about that. Typically, a shirt there costs $50-60. Unless it's some kind of a BOGO sale going on...

With that said, I do have a couple of shirts from there - nice design, nice quality.
 
I was lucky growing up and had lots of Polo, and Tommy Hilfiger (when it was still respectable) and those stupid Girbaud jeans. I wore those until they fell apart and I still wear the ones that haven't fallen apart, a good 15 years after high school.

But when I need new clothes, if it's not on sale at Kohls or Belk or Target, I don't buy it.

My wife is taking up the slack, though. She bought a $200 pair of blue jeans other day. I'm still trying to figure that one out.
 
I watch slickdeals.net.

Old navy.com usually has a 90 percent off sale or whatever for their online store, usually current season clothes.

I spend about 50 bucks, and get tons of pants, shirts, and whatever.

This way I never step foot in a mall.
 
Good stuff if it fits and you can get it on discount. I have a pair of cords from there that are going on 6 years old, yet they still look/fit great for a dressier night out.

Their clearance stuff is usually plenty picked-over since every teenager/poor college student/parent of either paws through it. Occasionally you make a nice score.

Yeah, try making a pair of flannel pajamas.

A mate at Uni had all the "name brands" because he bought the cheap stuff, and sewed in the tags/logos, produced with the programmable sewing machine
 
Yeah its one of my primary shopping stores.... They are much more reasonable price-wise than other stores like Abercombie & Fitch and Hollister. AE and Aero are the cheapest of them AFAIK
 
They do have some very fashionable stuff, however the way I wear out clothing I'll have similar conditioned fashion in 6 months if I start with something cheaper.
