Discovering Aerie: Your Go-To for Cozy, Body-Positive Fashion in Syracuse and Central New York

Aerie, the beloved sub-brand of American Eagle Outfitters, has built a massive following for its ultra-comfortable bras, undies, loungewear, activewear, and swimwear — all designed with real bodies in mind. Launched in 2006, Aerie made waves by ditching retouched photos in its #AerieREAL campaign, promoting inclusivity, self-love, and unapologetic comfort. Today, it’s a staple for teens and young adults who want soft fabrics, cute prints, and pieces that actually feel good to wear all day.

In the Syracuse and Onondaga County area — and within roughly 110 miles — Aerie fans have solid options, from a flagship standalone store in Destiny USA to outlet deals and additional locations perfect for a weekend drive.

Aerie at Destiny USA (Syracuse)Right in the heart of Syracuse
Destiny USA (the sixth-largest mall in the U.S.) is home to Central New York’s only standalone Aerie store.
•  Address: 1 Destiny USA Drive, Space A-106, Syracuse, NY 13204
•  (phone: 315-478-1306)   
•  Typical hours: Mon–Thu 10 AM–8 PM, Fri–Sat 10 AM–9 PM, Sun 11 AM–6 PM (always check for holidays).

This bright, welcoming store is dedicated entirely to Aerie — think walls of pastel bralettes, the famous Offline legging collection, cozy hoodies, and seasonal swimsuits. It’s right next to the American Eagle store (Space B-104), so you can easily hop between the two for jeans, graphic tees, or men’s items. Shoppers love it for bra fittings, the latest drops, and frequent sales — especially around holidays when gift sets and plush robes fly off the shelves.

Destiny USA itself is a destination: tax-free clothing in NY, plus dining, entertainment (WonderWorks, Dave & Buster’s, etc.), making it easy to turn an Aerie run into a full day out.

Worth-the-Drive Locations Within ~110 Miles

Both a full American Eagle store and a standalone Aerie store (spaces 757 & 741 Eastview Mall).

Solid in-store Aerie department with all the core favorites (Real Soft bras, SMOOTHEZ undies, Offline activewear). Rochester locals swear by it, and it’s an easy add-on if you’re visiting the Lilac Festival, Strong Museum, or Lake Ontario.
