What To Wear From Old Navy When You’re Over 50
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.

I never shop at Old Navy. I actually thought it was a store for the young with very trendy clothes. Thanks for proving me wrong. I will certainly visit soon!
Finally, clothes I can afford. Thank you! I’m 73, and have never tried ON jeans. I have purchased some tops there over the years. I’m going to remedy that next time I go to the mall! I was a teenager last time bell bottoms were popular, so it will be fun to try them again. TY!
I have always loved Old Navy!
I’ve always shopped at Old Navy for my daughter and loved their tees but that was it. During covid I started buying for myself with their curbside pickup, which is the so organized and quick. Easy to return too. I tried several styles of their jeans and love them. They haven’t stretch out with washing. They also have a nice large print on the inside of the waist that says “boot cut” “flare” etc. which is easy to see on the hanger without taking them off and holding them up to see (if that makes sense). I still use their curbside pickup as it’s so great and it’s next to my pharmacy, grocery store and other stores I frequent.
I like to shop ON online but not in the store. Maybe it’s just my local store that’s not great
Deb, my local store isn’t great either which is another reason I like to shop online. I was surprised I found as much as I did since my store carries more 1X-3X sizes, but I’m not sure why.
Thanks for the great post and the reminder on the mammograms. Absolutely love that cardigan heart sweater on you. So adorable. Very tempted to buy it!
Is the cashmere cardigan from Old Navy or is it Macy’s? The link goes to Macy’s. Very cute as well.
I feel bad pointing this out but your Southern roots are coming through your post. I think you meant to write a Cozy Collared Sweater not a Collard sweater?
Happy New Year!
Lol! Elizabeth, that made me laugh so hard!!! I don’t even like Collard greens. Hahaha
I really like buying ON jeans and pants. I think they fit really well no matter your age. I have a button up shirt from ON that I have used as a swimsuit coverup for years and it is still looks nice. I love the satin boyfriend button up shirt. The pink looks beautiful!!
LOVE Old Navy!! Thanks for the pre-shop 🙂
Old Navy has some great clothes right now!
They also have a really good Men’s Tall collection!
Thank you so much!
I love Old Navy as you mentioned because they have such a wonderful selection and price point .
I am getting online today!
Question- can someone 5’2” wear the trouser fit jeans?
