Aeropostale sells casual clothing for teens and young adults: jeans, graphic tees, hoodies, sweatpants, activewear and accessories, plus the P.S. from Aeropostale range for kids. It is priced for frequent buying, with sales running most of the year.
Getting good value at Aeropostale depends on picking the right jean fit, understanding how tops are cut, and almost never paying the ticket price.
Aeropostale jeans: fit and rise
Aeropostale sells jeans in a range of fits, from skinny and jegging to straight, mom and loose or baggy styles. The fit name tells you the shape through the leg; the rise tells you where the waist sits.
Low rise sits on the hips. Mid rise sits near the belly button. High rise sits at or above it and makes tucking tops easy.
Stretch content matters. Aeropostale jeans with more elastane feel soft at first but relax during the day, so a snug fit in the fitting room is right. Rigid, mostly cotton denim feels stiff but holds its shape and softens with washing.
Check the inseam as well. Aeropostale often offers short, regular and long lengths, which saves a trip to the tailor.
Hoodies and sweatshirts
Aeropostale hoodies are a core product, and fleece is where sizing goes wrong. Oversized styles are cut large on purpose; size down for a more fitted look.
Cotton-heavy fleece can shrink slightly in a hot wash or dryer. Wash cold and dry low, or hang, if the fit matters to you.
Check the fabric weight in the Aeropostale product details. Heavier fleece is warmer and holds its shape; lighter fleece suits layering.
Graphic tees and basics
Aeropostale graphic tees are cheap to replace, but prints crack if treated badly. Turn them inside out, wash cold and avoid ironing directly over the print.
For plain tees and polos, look at the fabric blend. Cotton-polyester blends shrink less and dry faster; pure cotton feels softer but may shrink a little.
Aeropostale multi-buy offers on tees and basics can be better value than a single code, so check the product page for a bundle price.
Sweatpants, joggers and activewear
Aeropostale sweatpants and joggers come in several cuts. Joggers taper to a cuffed ankle and suit trainers; straight or wide-leg sweatpants hang loose and look more relaxed. Check whether the waist is elastic, drawstring or both.
For activewear, look at the fabric rather than the name. Polyester and spandex blends wick sweat and dry quickly, which suits sport. Cotton-rich pieces are comfier for lounging but hold moisture during a workout.
Aeropostale leggings and bike shorts are worth a stretch test at home in daylight before the tags come off, to check they stay opaque.
P.S. from Aeropostale for kids
P.S. from Aeropostale is the brand's kids' line. Kids' sizes are built around body measurements, so check the chart rather than going by age alone, since growth varies.
Buy slightly ahead for fast-growing children, particularly jeans and outerwear, but not so large that sleeves and hems get in the way.
When Aeropostale prices are lowest
Aeropostale runs promotions almost constantly, with sitewide percentage-off events, clearance and category sales. Full price is rarely the price to pay at Aeropostale.
The deepest sales tend to cluster around back-to-school season, Black Friday and the January clearance. Seasonal items such as fleece are cheapest at the end of their season.
Signing up for Aeropostale emails or texts typically brings a welcome offer and early notice of sales.
Aeropostale shipping and returns
Aeropostale has typically offered free shipping above a spending threshold, so a small order can cost more than it looks. Check the current threshold before checking out.
Returns are usually accepted by post and at Aeropostale stores within a set window, with some final-sale exclusions. Check the current Aeropostale return policy, and keep tags on until you are sure of the fit.
Where the Aeropostale savings are
These Aeropostale codes cover a mixed basket, an app order and a single item:
The 21% code is the broadest and the one to try first on a mixed Aeropostale basket. It may exclude clearance and items already carrying a promotional price.
The 20% code is likely tied to the Aeropostale app, going by its name. If you use the app anyway, it is a solid backup.
The $5 code suits a single pair of jeans. On any basket over about $24, 21% off saves more than $5, so use the dollar code only on small orders.
Aeropostale codes rarely stack, and some sale events already beat a code. Compare the code's result with the current sitewide offer and keep whichever gives the lower total.
