[whimsical music] Hey, it's Paige from Giggly Squad, and we're partnering with Abercrombie for the launch of their new summer collection. This season, Abercrombie leveled up their jeans with an all-new linen blend denim. As if Abercrombie denim wasn't iconic enough, their new cotton linen blend pairs have the perfect lightweight feel for summer. And if you're anything like me, matching sets are the center of your wardrobe. They're the outfits you don't have to think about, and technically they double your wardrobe because you can wear them together and style them separately. Pair up with Abercrombie this summer. Shop in the app, online, and in stores.
