Aéropostale

If Aéropostale isn't the poster child for 'Greatest Mall Stores of the 2000s,' then I don't know what is. Remember those graphic tees? Every mall trip was basically a hunt to snag the coolest one before your friend did. And those cargo shorts — because who didn't need six pockets at the food court? It's like Aéropostale understood our need to look cool effortlessly. Or maybe it was just their way of making sure we never ran out of room for more pretzel bites.
