I have been shocked by the number of women who were surprised that I shopped at Old Navy. I’ve shopped there for years, and I love the price point on their clothing. The ladies who were shocked also shopped there, but only for their teenage children or grandchildren. I decided to drop by my local Old Navy store and do a quick try-on haul, and I found a lot of items I think you’re going to love.

Old Navy stores carry everything from basic t-shirts and jeans to more formal attire and outerwear. There is a wide selection of sizes available, including plus sizes, so shoppers of all shapes and sizes can find something that fits them well. Even though Old Navy focuses on trendy and stylish pieces at affordable prices, there is no reason you can’t shop there when you’re over 50.

The Flutter Sleeve Leopard Printer Blouse has a feminine look, and I could see wearing this blouse a lot this spring and summer. You can pair a flutter sleeve top with a pair of jeans or chinos and some sneakers or sandals for a casual, laid-back look. Or, you can dress up a flutter sleeve top with a skirt or a pair of dress pants and some heels for a romantic dinner or a night out.

I love the look and fit of these Mid-Rise Boot Cut Jeans. They fit snugly from hip to thigh and boot-cut from knee on down. Mid-rise jeans are probably my favorite since some high-rise jeans are too high. These sit right below your belly button but are still high enough to avoid most muffin tops.

I’m starting to look forward to spring, so I was thrilled to see this Navy Floral Slub Tee in the store. This tee is sold out, but here are several other tees for you to look at.

This pair of High-Waisted OG Straight Ankle Jeans are classic style jeans that you can wear for years. They are a versatile and stylish choice that can be worn in a variety of ways. You can pair ankle-length jeans with a t-shirt, sweater, or blouse for a casual, laid-back look. Or, add some sneakers or sandals for a comfortable, relaxed vibe. The great thing about this style of jeans is that you can also dress them up with a blouse, a pair of heels, and some statement jewelry for a night out.

This Dark Heather Gray Cozy Collared Sweater is sooo soft! I love the way it looks and fits, but it is the softness factor that would have me wearing this sweater on repeat.

Since I showed you a classic pair of jeans above, I thought I’d show you a trendy pair of jeans also. These Extra High-Waisted Ripped Wide-Leg Jeans are a light wash, wide-leg, slightly distressed pair of jeans. You can wear them casually or dressy like the ankle length jeans above. And, depending on your workplace dress code, you may be able to wear wide leg jeans with a blouse or a sweater, and a pair of pumps or ballet flats.

This adorable Cropped Cozy-Knit Cardigan Heart Sweater will have you thinking about Valentine’s Day! I hesitated to try the cardigan on because I thought it would be too cropped. But, I’m always preaching to get out of your comfort zone, so I decided to give it a try. I think it looks cute as a button, and I love the small red heart on the chest.

Here is a view where you can see the length of the sweater. These jeans look great, but the only thing that I’m not a fan of is the button-up waist. They buttoned easily, but I’m still on the fence about them. I am a fan of the material since they have some stretch and feel very comfortable.

I’m loving my cashmere cardigans, I have one in black, red, and this camel one. I paired it with an old sweater tank I bought from J.Jill last summer which is of course sold out.

I think this pair of High-Waisted Wow Flare Jeans for Women are my favorite of all the ones I tried on. They have quite a bit of stretch, so I don’t know if they will stretch out as the day goes on. A slight flare and a bootcut are my favorite style of jeans followed closely by a straight ankle length pair.

You can never go wrong with a button-up shirt since they are so versatile. Tucking the button-up shirt into a skirt would give you a polished, professional look. Leaving a button-up shirt untucked and with a pair of jeans is a casual, laid-back look.You can choose a pair of straight-leg jeans for a more streamlined silhouette, or go for a wider leg for a more relaxed vibe.

I love layering a button-up shirt under a sweater, but the ruffles on this one might cause lumps and bumps that you wouldn’t want to show. I also love adding a blazer over button-up shirts for a chic, sophisticated look. If you choose a blazer in a coordinating color or pattern, it will create a cohesive looking outfit.

These trouser flare jeans seem to run a little large. I’m wearing a size 8, but I needed a smaller size. I love the look of these jeans, and I ended up ordering a size 6 online when I got home. I couldn’t quit thinking about them, so I went ahead and got them on order.

This Satin Boyfriend Shirt is another item that I left the store without, and then ordered it when I got home. I had an appointment to go to, so I didn’t have time to stand in line at the checkout counter. Ordring online is what I prefer anyway, so I grabbed this pinkish color and the baby blue one also. I decided to size down to a small though since the shirt is a tad oversized.

The Higher High-Waisted Flare Jeans are a pair that I really liked the look and fit. If I didn’t already have 15+ flare jeans, these would have come home with me. I like the medium wash, and the jeans have just the right amount of flare. Most flare jeans are super long, and you have to wear platform boots or high heels with them. These weren’t that long, I think the inseam was 32″ which is pretty much a standard length for a full length jean.

Old Navy does a good job of carrying clothing for most sizes including tall, petite, and plus size. Plus, they do have affordable fashions, don’t think any of the jeans were over $50, and they might even be on sale.

    Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for doing a post focusing on Old Navy! I am 66 and love buying clothes for myself and my husband from them. As much as I dread the summer heat & bugs that we have to deal with in south central Georgia, seeing the few spring pieces you tried on has me excited for spring. I really like several of the tops you tried on and will be shopping online at ON real soon.

  2. Thank you for sharing shops like Old Navy. On a low income, I value getting some “basics” at a store like this so that I can then splurge on other higher-quality items…building slowly!

    Thank you, for this post! I appreciate the different style of jeans that you have shared!

    Some of my favorite jeans are from Old Navy. But I don’t live near one anymore so I tend to forget about them. Those jeans are very slimming on you. I love the dressing room posts. It’s great to see the variety.

    I love this blog. I am heading to Old Navy now. Thanks for all the effort you put into your blogs Tania.

  6. Thanks for this post. I have stayed away from ON for years, due to the quality of some of their clothes. Now that I am older, I think I need a higher quality fabric to avoid the little bumps and bulges… 😊. I also wonder how these items will hold up after repeated wearings and washings. You said you weren’t sure if the jeans would stretch too much after wearing. That is an issue I have, since I am pretty straight ( no curves) and not much of rear end either, so pants/ jeans start to slide a bit as the day goes on. I will definitely give ON another try. I really liked the trouser jeans and had a pair from Banana Republic for years. I’m glad these are coming back! I’ll go check these out soon.
    Thanks for the inspiration.

  7. Myself and my two daughters are long time Old Navy shoppers.Loved your post today!

  8. I just love your try-on haul posts. We get to see so many options in one post. Any you can’t go wrong with the price point of Old Navy. Thanks!

  9. Great post! I’m older then you and I enjoy Old Navy as well….I bought the trouser flares and love them…I believe I am same size as you because I usually wear 8 pants and I sized down to a 6… I did have them hemmed a bit, but they are fun to wear with a belt and a shirt or sweater tucked in. Old Navy is a fun place to shop, they on trend and a I can try out a trend without spending a lot of $! I love your hair in this post!

  10. Thank you, Tania, for taking the time to try on clothes to show us how they look and fit. I like that you describe the feel and fit. I really like the High-Waisted OG Straight Ankle Jeans, Un fortunately, they do not come in petite sizes.
