I went in to look around today and was really kind of impressed with what they have in at the moment, compared to previous seasons. Old Navy might actually be in the process of becoming a better store to shop at. It is probably because designer Todd Oldham is the new creative director.

Until they put the plus sizes in stores, I'm not buying. It's not fair to make me pay extra for shipping. They carry men's bigger sizes right in the store. Why not the women's?

I don't know...

I have bought some clothes for my 4 year old there....I was disappointed with the quality...Buttons falling off, lots of lose threads....

The only thing I really like from there is their denim...mainly for kids. Although I have a few pairs myself, I am not in love with them...

Really? The Chicago store carries plenty of plus sized clothing in its store. Hmmm....


I don't do much shopping at Old Navy, but I have a sweatshirt from there that I think I may be obsessed with. It's my go-to shirt....it always looks perfect.

Every once in a while I can find something cute but not often. I've found great summer dresses, hats, shoulder bags and accessories but Im not a fan of the quality of alot of their items. I havent seen the new lineup so I guess I'll have to check it out for myself.

They have plus sizes in the Old Navy's that I go to also. Unless 16-20 isn't considered plus size? I was thinking it was, does anyone know what plus size starts at?

Our Old Navy has a whole plus sized section on the second floor, I believe. I don't know, maybe it's different depending on where you live.

I personally love Old Navy.Their stuff works out fine for me and it sure beats Banana Republic prices. Banana Republic, Gap, and Old Navy are owned by the same company. However, Old Navy fits my budget better. I do BR for special occasions or office wear only.I do love the kids stuff as it is more hip and less "stuffy", "prim and proper" than other stores kids lines.

I did not realize they charged extra shipping on plus sized items- Please tell me this is wrong- Otherwise that is discrimination.

I love to buy things like sweat suits and Yoga clothes there because who wants to spend 70 on sweats.

The only complaint I have is one of the summer dresses I bought there recently is transparent. Not high quality fabric on that one!

Old Navy's kind of become my guilty pleasure. I really like their winter stuff. I can get a really sexy sweater for $10 while I would have to pay $50 at GAP or Banana Republic.

But I still think their summer clothes are tacky!

^^^ True about the prices. Kinda funny, considering all three are under the same company.
