I’ve been seeing a lot of American Eagle lately and was curious about all the hype! I put in my first order at the beginning of the year and since then, I’ve put in 2 more order and have been legit hooked! It’s been years since I’ve shopped at American Eagle but let me tell you, they are killing it. Their styles are so easy to wear, comfortable, high quality, and affordable!
If there’s one thing you have to buy from them, it’s their jeans. I’ve been a bit of a designer jean convertee for years but am slowly finding just-as-good options in Abercombie & Fitch and American Eagle now! I especially love that American Eagle offers 4 different inseam options for their jeans, ranging from x-short to x-tall. I’m 5′ tall and the struggle to find jeans that don’t need hemming has seriously been a life-long struggle! If you fall into the same boat, you NEED to try their jeans — the x-short length is absolutely perfect on me off the rack and there are so many styles to choose from too! Read on for a review of 4 different pairs that I picked up and snag a pair for yourself while they’re 25% off right now!
And because I couldn’t resist some of their cute sweaters, I’m also throwing in 4 sweater reviews with this try-on and several of these are on super sale as well — marked down as much as 60%! Best of all, none of these are itchy!
Like always, to see these pieces in video, I’ve saved a set of stories from my Instagram Stories try-on to my AE/Aerie highlights,
American Eagle Sweaters:
AE Striped Crew Pullover Sweater + AE Ne(X)T Level Super High-Waisted Jegging
Top: American Eagle Striped Crew Pullover Sweater (XS) – on sale $18! (similar – on sale!)
Bottom: American Eagle Ne(X)T Level Super High-Waisted Jegging (0 X-Short / size down)
Belt: Gucci Double G
Shoes: Trask ‘Lindsay’ Lace-Up Sneakers (6 / size up) – (also here, similar – only $40) worn w/ no-show socks
This rainbow striped sweater is one of my absolute favorites and it’s marked down 60% off to only $18! The colors are bright and beautiful, and just a fun piece to wear when you want some color. The sweater is more of a light-to-medium weight and perfect for transitioning into spring when you don’t want anything too heavy. The material is so super soft, almost a chenille-like feel, and it’s been a sweater I’ve been wearing weekly cause I love it so much!
Meanwhile, these jeans are what got me hooked on American Eagle denim and I cannot recommend them enough! They are an American Eagle bestseller (390 reviews and 4.7 stars!) and it’s easy to see why. I love the wash as it’s not too dark or too light, and the distressing is perfectly on the knees without being too distressed. I would say in general AE jeans are stretchier than other brands so size down for a more snug fit! I’ve worn these jeans countless times and they don’t stretch out.
AE Slouchy Striped Sweater + AE Ne(X)T Level High-Waisted Jegging
Top: American Eagle Slouchy Striped Pullover Sweater (S / size up)
Bottom: American Eagle Ne(X)T Level High-Waisted Jegging (00 X-Short / size down)
Shoes: Trask ‘Lindsay’ Lace-Up Sneakers (6 / size up) – (also here, similar – only $40) worn w/ no-show socks
I love all the neutrals but mix in a feminine vibe and I am all over it. Love the grey and pink/cream combination, plus this sweater is just perfect for lounging! The fit is cropped so I did size up to a size S and just love everything about it.
These jeans are also so good and perfect if you love that high-waisted look but don’t want anything too high. These have a 10.25″ rise and come up about 1″ below my belly button. They run slim throughout the leg and I just love that even the ankles are tapered to really give that slim leg look. Again, size down in AE jeans as they are stretchier than other brands but thankfully do not stretch out after wearing even consecutive days on end!
Top: American Eagle Slouchy Striped Pullover Sweater (S / size up)
Bottom: J.Brand White Jeans (24 / size down)
Belt: Gucci Double G
Shoes: similar pink bow sneakers
AE Stripe Jegging Pullover Sweater + AE Ne(X)T Level Super High-Waisted Jegging
Top: American Eagle Stripe Jegging Pullover Sweater (XS) – (similar – on sale!)
Bottom: American Eagle Ne(X)T Level Super High Waisted Button Fly Jegging (00 X-Short / size down)
Belt: Gucci Double G in rose (80)
Shoes: Steve Madden ‘Reece’ in tan suede (looks more pink than tan!) – (almost exact dupe for $40 less!)
Earrings: Express Fringe Open Hoops
I love everything about this outfit and am kinda low-key obsessed with both the sweater and jeans! I love the color blocking in the sweater and the mix of colors is just so pretty. The fit is a bit oversized but personally, I love it this way and would recommend staying with your usual size. The material is breezy and lightweight so it’s perfect going into spring. The length does fully cover the backside so it’s a great option to pair with leggings too!
These jeans. OMG, I don’t think I’ve ever been so obsessed with a pair of jeans before and that’s saying a lot! If ever you want jeans that just make you feel skinny and hug your curves like none other, you need this pair! The reviews on these jeans are crazy — 495 reviews and 4.7 stars — so you know it’s good! I haven’t worn a button fly style since high-school probably and I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about it, but I kinda love the retro vibe and it really makes the look in my opinion. The fit is super high waisted so it comes right to my belly button and even with my short legs, it makes them look long! If there’s one pair of jeans that you buy, make these the one!
AE Striped Crop Pullover Sweater + AE Ne(X)T Level Highest Waist Jegging
Top: American Eagle Striped Crop Pullover Sweater (XS)
Bottom: American Eagle Ne(X)T Level Highest Waist Jegging (00 X-Short / size down)
Shoes: Trask ‘Lindsay’ Lace-Up Sneakers (6 / size up) – (also here, similar – only $40) worn w/ no-show socks
I love the mix of colors in this sweater and the ribbed texture gives it a cozy comfy feel. The fit is more cropped but I did take it in my usual size and love the subtle high-low look. I’ve worn this sweater countless times already and it’s such a fun one for when you want something casual or lounge-y.
As for jeans, if you love that high-waisted look, you need to try this pair! The style is the highest waist jegging and they are perfect for really accentuating your waist and giving you some curves through the hips. I love wearing these with more cropped tops and the darker wash is so slimming too! While I’m still wearing the x-short inseam, I did find that these were just a bit longer in length — not enough to be an issue for me but just a heads-up.
I hope you enjoyed this American Eagle sweaters try-on review/haul and let me know if you’re shopping the American Eagle sale!
