different but cute

a month ago
definitely different than past years and not as quality. however, not as bad as others are making them seen. I’m usually an XL and they fit well. only negative is theyre not as high waisted as past ones have been they sit higher than a bikini but under the belly button

Yes, I recommend this product.

Size up this year!

I love this bottom and have purchased in years past. This year, I agree with other recommendations to size up. I am normally a M in bottoms and purchased the M this year, and I am returning for a size L. I'm 5'08" and 168 lbs.

Better than I thought

I do agree that I like the old styles better, however, I like this full coverage bottom better! The old ones looked more like a diaper. This has enough coverage but fits just right imo! I ordered my normal size (L) and it fits great.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Cute!

a month ago
I know the other reviewers said these fit very small, but I found they fit loose. I’m a size 10-12 (more often a 12) with around a 44-45” hip measurement and 31.5” waist and felt the large was a little too loose. They are the perfect amount of cheeky to me :) but I don’t feel like I’m going to fall out of it haha.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Not the same as last year

25 days ago
For starters, I'm 155lbs 5'6 and wear a 8 or 10 in AE jeans depending on the cut/style. My hips are about 40in and my waist is 30in. I have always loved these bottoms and buy at least 2 each year always in size M. I read the reviews before shopping for 2025 and decided to size up to L. The L fits just like the previous years M! I even tried on last years again and its nearly identical. That said, I do love this cut and will continue to buy it but I wish sizing was a little more consistent.

Yes, I recommend this product.

i thought these would fit the same as my old ribbed aerie crossover bottoms but they cut lower on the torso in a really unflattering way…i liked how the other ones covered the belly button and shaped your curves nicely. unfortunately i was over eager and ripped off the tags before putting on

Go down in size if you plan to swim

It fit great when I tried it on and all the way up until I got in the water at the beach. It’s like it expanded a whole size to the point that it was nearly falling off.

THE FIT, CUT AND FABRIC HAVE CHANGED

23 days ago
i showed this black pair of bottoms next to one i have bought in the past. both mediums. the cut for the legs/thighs are WAY higher than in years past and the garmet is a few centimeters shorter from top to bottom. the fabric contains less elastane (2% less) than in years past creating less stretch. buyer beware the fit is different

I hated how these looked on me, I have the black crossover bottoms from when they first came out they’re nothing like them in the worse way possible. These ones are cut so differently they’re not how they orginally were a few years ago. Aerie why did you change it? I even ordered a size up and it looked way too small on me. I’m 1000% returning this tomorrow I’m highly disappointed and no longer will be purchasing swimsuits from Aerie now.
