American Eagle Outfitters

Aerie is an intimates and domewear sub-brand launched by American Eagle in 2006, marketed from the outset as “aerie by American Eagle.” While American Eagle centers on jeans and casualwear, Aerie has a distinct store and product lineup as a women’s lifestyle brand that has expanded into underwear, loungewear, swimwear, and apparel. In the current brand family, it is positioned as a major line in the intimates and women’s lifestyle categories and as the foundation from which OFFLINE by Aerie was developed.

77kids by american eagle was a spin-off brand for children launched by American Eagle in 2008. It offered denim, fleece, T-shirts, outerwear, shoes, accessories, and other products, primarily for ages 2–10 and later for children up to age 14 as well as infants. Its target age group and product design differed from the main brand’s casualwear for teens and young adults; it was a line within the brand family that applied American Eagle’s approach to fit, value, and style to children’s clothing. American Eagle Outfitters sold the business in August 2012, and it has since been discontinued.

little77 was a baby-focused line added to 77kids by american eagle in 2010. Aimed at infants aged 0–18 months, it offered clothing and accessories such as denim, graphic T-shirts, and hoodies, extending 77kids’ scope to an even younger age group than its primary audience of children aged 2 and older. Official announcements presented it as a new line with its own name, and through 77kids it belonged to the American Eagle brand family. It has since been discontinued following the end of the 77kids business.

OFFLINE by Aerie is an activewear sub-brand that emerged from Aerie in 2020. It builds on Aerie’s popular collections, offering leggings, sports bras, bike shorts, fleece items, accessories, and other products designed for activities ranging from exercise to everyday wear. Unlike American Eagle’s denim-focused mainline and Aerie’s intimates category, it focuses on ease of movement and everyday active style. As a sub-brand of Aerie, it is the line responsible for the sports and activewear segment of the American Eagle brand family.

AE77 is a premium denim brand and derivative line launched by American Eagle Outfitters in 2021. It developed from American Eagle’s core denim offering and, under a distinct concept, centers on men’s and women’s denim while also offering products made with sustainable and environmentally conscious materials, along with related apparel. It continues to be sold on the official e-commerce site as the “AE77 Premium Collection,” in a category distinguished from the regular AE product range, and is positioned within the brand family as a line for elevated denim offerings and a focus on material development.
