Old Navy sizing

Another new name Sue — Tue, 12 Dec 2017 22:05:25 GMT

I've never ordered anything from Old Navy, thinking it is rather cheaply made and more for teens. But I do see something I'd like to order and was wondering about sizing. Sometimes cheaper clothing is cut small. Generally speaking, should I order up on shirts? I usually get a small in Denim & Co.

Hello happygal

I am buying from Old Navy as well an I find the sizes (as you said) a little small.

If you are a Small with Denim&Co. do size up one size with Old Navy and even Gap.

Enjoy your new cloths dear and Merry Christmas!

I do buy from ON, no size problems or me because I have a tape measure and I take my measurements and I use the ON size charts. Do that and you won't have any problems.

I rarely shop there but recently went in to buy a pair of velvet leggings. I am a small, thought I’d be a medium at ON. Nope - bought a small. Fit great.

Definitely go up a size.

I agree, to go up a size in ON. Btw, they are now my "go to"for basic tees made out of microfiber (made well and usually on sale for ten dollars or less).

I never hardly went into to Old Navy because I thought it was a young persons store. Now I shop there a lot. Once you figure out your size you can order online and get some really good deals. The description will tell if it is fitted etc. I order my normal size. I have gone up and regretted it. I have bought a lot of sweaters and tops and wear their mid rise straight leg jeans in curvy profile. I am a size 14 and wear extra large.

I find their sizing all over the place

I can be a XS or S or even a med depending on the item.

I would order 2 different sizes and return.

sm in DC could be a XS?

I don't think their clothing is just for teens and most is nice for what I pay for it

@Another new name Sue I wear a medium for Denim and Company, and I wear a large for Old Navy.

I find that Denim and Company has more sustantial material than Old Navy. Old Navy shirts and dresses are very thin (which is good if you like layering).

I just came in from Old Navy and all I can say is it's turned into a junk store. They used to have such a nice selection of sweaters for men and women.

Really disappointed in both the selection and the quality of things.

There are so many pretty plaids this season, and I wanted a plaid shirt. I like the buffalo plaid too. I couldn't find anything I liked (even at Coldwater, Talbots). Amazon had some--hard to choose a size there too. I saw ON had quite a few, so I broke down and got in the car and drove there. They do have a lot of plaid flannel shirts. The flannel is NOT heavy, which is good because daytime temps here are in the low 80's, and Christmas Day could be the same. Here's what I got; it was the prettiest plaid they had, but there were some other nice ones. I sized up to a M. Even looked at large, but it was way too big. I suspect it will shrink, so I can wear it as a "jacket."

They also had some flannel pj bottoms for $7 which looked ok, drawstring waist.

I'm not crazy about ON--chemical smell, music too loud, long line to pay. But I got a shirt!! Yay.
