American Eagle sales beat as jeans back in vogue - STLtoday.com

American Eagle Outfitters Inc. topped analysts' estimates for quarterly same-store sales on Wednesday, as the apparel retailer cashed in on a revival in the popularity of jeans in the U.S.

Even as athleisure continues to dominate current fashion scene, more shoppers are looking to get back into jeans as companies invest in making them more comfortable and fit better.

American Eagle has managed to stay ahead of the competition from companies such as Abercrombie & Fitch Co. and Gap Inc. as its stretchy and distressed jeans prove to be a hit with college students.

"Finding a perfect fit in jeans is really hard, and American Eagle has nailed the fit. That creates loyalty in their customers who keep coming back," A Line Partners analyst Gabriela Santaniello said.

The jeans business has benefited as American Eagle successfully replicates its success at its Aerie brand, which has strongly resonated with young shoppers due to its focus on comfortable lingerie.

The company said it would launch a new curvy jeans collection and broaden its men's lines with new fabric, fits and sizes in time for the back-to-school season.

The company's same-store sales rose 6% in the first quarter ended May 4, beating analysts' estimates of a 3.13% increase, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.

Same-store sales at Aerie also registered a 14% surge.

However, American Eagle warned of a potential impact on its business from U.S. President Donald Trump's proposed higher tariffs on another $300 billion worth of goods from China.

"If tariffs are expanded to apparel, there would be an adverse effect on our financial results," Chief Financial Officer Robert Madore said.

Madore said the company was working with its sourcing partners to "significantly" mitigate any potential impact from additional tariffs.

But proposed tariffs on goods imported from Mexico will not have an impact on the company, American Eagle said.

Excluding items, the company earned 24 cents per share in the first quarter, beating analysts' estimates of 21 cents per share.

Total net revenue rose 7.7% to $886.3 million, beating analysts' estimates of $855.6 million.

The company's shares rose more than 3.3% to $19.10.

Sofia Vergara's denim collection is back in stock at Walmart - TODAY

Posted: 04 Jun 2019 11:44 AM PDT

Earlier this year, actress Sofía Vergara released an affordable clothing line at Walmart — the clothes were trendy, affordable and pretty size-inclusive. And from the looks of it, people have been really into it!

"These styles sold out just weeks after launch," the brand shared. Since then, the jeans racked up a waitlist of over 5,000 people and were finally re-released on June 1.

The jeans are all stretchy, totally on-trend and under $30! It doesn't get much better than that. Here are Walmart's bestselling styles from the Sofia Jeans by Sofia Vergara collection.

1. Sofia Skinny Lace-Up Sides Mid Rise Ankle Jean, $30, Walmart

This trendy pair of light wash denim features a fun "lace-up" detail on the side, easily setting them apart from the other jeans in your wardrobe.

2. Sofia Skinny Mid Rise Soft Stretch Ankle Jean, $23, Walmart

If you're a fan of stretch in your denim (and come on, who isn't) then you should try these soft stretch ankle jeans. They come in both medium and light wash and they are meant to be super comfortable.

3. Melisa High Waist Stretch Flare Jean, $28, Walmart

For those who prefer a flare silhouette instead of skinny jeans, these high-waisted pants might be just what you need. They have a cool boho-chic vibe that works for summertime.

4. Rosa Curvy High Waist Ripped Hem Ankle Jean, $25, Walmart

Ankle jeans are perfect to wear with heels or sandals. And these ones feature a distressed hem, which is very on trend right now.

5. Sofia Skinny Destructed Mid Rise Ankle Jeans, $25, Walmart

Similar to the pair above, these skinny jeans also feature a frayed hem around the ankle. They come in a medium wash and have small rips in the knees.

6. Veronica Destructed Cuffed Straight High Waist Jean, $28, Walmart

This style definitely seems to be one of the most popular— many sizes are already sold out since the re-launch! They aren't too tight, but they're still flattering and stylish. Perfect for summer barbecues or weekend hangouts.

7. Paula Soft Stretch Knit Denim Jogger, $27, Walmart

Available in sizes XS to XXL, this denim jogger is another must-have for your wardrobe. The style is available in a medium and dark wash and the best part about them is the comfy drawstring waist!

In recent years white jeans have seen a fashion renaissance, shaking off their Sloaney connotations and spray-on reality TV reputations. Crisp and clean like a blank canvas, light denim is a street-style favourite because it provides the perfect base for smart-casual outfits (it looks more considered than blue washes, and more daytime-appropriate than black).

The key to mastering this trend is finding the right fit – be that a nonchalant boyfriend style, streamlined slim-leg or dramatic floor-sweeping flare. To help you find your perfect pair, we've rounded up 15 of the best to buy right now.

1 Best wide-leg

SHOP NOW

Whistles has mastered the most flattering wide shape: fitted at the high waist and falling into a looser leg, then cropped sharply at the ankle (perfect for showing off a great pair of shoes).

2 Best straight-leg

SHOP NOW

If you're looking for laid-back denim, Raey is the brand to know (and there are plenty of white pairs in the current collection). Made from rigid denim, its raw-hemmed, mid-rise Press style nails the nonchalance of a straight leg – not too skinny, not too baggy.

3 Best skinny

BUY NOW

The Duchess of Sussex-approved Mother Denim is a go-to brand for skinny jeans. The Looker is designed for a second-skin fit but is woven with a hint of stretch to ensure comfort. To keep yours current, go for Riviera vibes in the summer – think Breton tops, off-the-shoulder necklines and mid-heel mules.

4 Best slim

BUY NOW

News flash: your white jeans don't have to be pure, icy white. Cream, ivory, ecru and egg shell shades all look just as chic and won't showcase stains so easily. Win, win.

5 Best for people who hate jeans

BUY NOW

If you don't like wearing classic denim, white shades are ideal – they're smarter than blue washes. Still, if you'd rather your jeans look less like jeans, Low Classic's trousers are made of the same durable cotton-twill but have utilitarian overstitching and come with a detachable waist belt.

6 Best kick flare

BUY NOW

The kick flare has replaced the skinny jean as a denim staple over the past few years. Looking for a versatile, reliable pair? Rosetta Getty swaps traditional rivets and belt loops for simple silver buttons and vertical seams to create a cleaner silhouette – you could get away with wearing these to work with heels and an oversized blazer.

7 Best floor-sweeping flare

BUY NOW

By contrast, sometimes nothing beats the drama of a floor-sweeping flare. Frame's La Palazzo pair is pressed neatly through the front and has a braided waistband to complement the 1970s-inspired silhouette. Add inches to your legs with platform sandals.

8 Best balloon

BUY NOW

The balloon jean was resurrected during the 1980s redux a few seasons back thanks to Phoebe Philo at Céline and Isabel Marant. If you don't have a designer budget though, Topshop's high-rise pairs are just as chic – wear yours with a tucked in T-shirt and mules.

9 Best boyfriend

BUY NOW

The secret to perfecting boyfriend denim? It needs to look like you actually borrowed from the boys (sans the pooling ankles and sagging waistband). Fitz Denim's have a dropped crotch, subtly tapered ankles, and sit low on your hips for a laid-back feel.

10 Best bootcut

BUY NOW

The bootcut jean is still reeling from its noughties heyday, but no one can deny its magical limb-lengthening effects. L'Agence's high-waist pair is slim through the thighs and kicks out to a generous flare – wear them with platform sandals to create the illusion of longer pins.

11 Best distressed

BUY NOW

If you think distressed jeans leave much to be desired, opt for Isabel Marant's grown-up iteration. Part of this season's étoile line-up, these jeans are cut in a voluminous balloon shape and punctuated with tiny perforations to create a cool Broderie effect.

12 Best ripped

BUY NOW

Partial to distressed denim? Make sure your 'rips' are in the right place. That is, where they would naturally occur – in gentle ladders or subtle tears around the knees, rather than defiantly slashed. Save yourself a year of waiting and cheat the look with Agolde's baggy boyfriend jeans.

'90s distressed boyfriend jeans, £205, Agolde at Net-a-porter

13 Best low-rise

BUY NOW

Seen at Alexander McQueen, Chanel, Sacai and Versace's spring/summer 2019 shows, low-rise jeans are back. But they don't have to be perilously low-slung, Paris Hilton-style – or paired with a navel ring. Modern versions are worn just above the hips to create a relaxed feel.

Phoebe low-slung boyfriend jeans, £235, Mih Jeans at Matches Fashion

14 Best high-rise

BUY NOW

If, by contrast, your mantra is 'the higher, the better' when it comes to denim, then Frame's Le California design will suit – it's cut to sit just above your natural waist and won't gape when you bend or sit down. Don't have a designer budget? Levi's ribcage style is a great option for under £100.

Le California wide-leg jeans, £250, Frame at Matches Fashion

15 Best utility

BUY NOW

If you thought utility trousers were best left to streetwear addicts and 1990s nostalgists, think again. Opt for shades of white instead of khaki and elevate them with barely there strappy sandals.

Utility jeans, £59, Topshop Boutique
