                     AEROPOSTALE REPORTS JUNE SALES RESULTS

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - JULY 6, 2005 - Aeropostale, Inc. (NYSE: ARO), a mall-based
specialty retailer of casual and active apparel for young women and men, today
announced that total net sales for the five-week period ended July 2, 2005
increased 23.9% to $86.2 million, compared to $69.6 million for the five-week
period ended July 3, 2004. The company's comparable store sales increased 2.0%
for the month, versus a comparable store sales increase of 21.3% in the year ago
period.

Fiscal year to date, total net sales have increased 23.7% to $360.5 million,
compared to $291.4 million in the year-ago period. Fiscal year to date,
comparable store sales have increased 2.2%, compared to 20.8% in the year-ago
period.

Julian R. Geiger, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said, "Our primary
objective for the month was to clear through our spring/summer merchandise and
position ourselves appropriately for the back to school selling season. In order
to achieve this objective, we were more promotional than initially planned.
While we are pleased with our total sales and transactions for the month, our
gross margins for the month were significantly below last year. Our promotional
stance has since normalized and we are comfortable with both the level and
composition of our inventory as we head into the key back to school selling
season."

The company also updated it guidance today. Based on the company's increased
promotional activity during the month, the company now believes it will achieve
earnings per share for the second quarter between $0.16 - $0.19 per diluted
share versus its previously issued guidance of $0.20-$0.23 per diluted share.
The company achieved earnings per share of $0.19 in the second quarter of last
year.
