Old Navy was founded in 1994 in San Francisco and is part of the Gap Inc family of companies. The company was started as a way for Gap, Inc to capture a lower budget market. Other companies in the family of brands include Gap, Banana Republic, Athleta, and Hill City. After a few rebrandings, Old Navy is now a one-stop family clothing shop with affordable but stylish apparel, bringing in the most revenue of all the Gap Inc companies with a loyal customer base.

The Good

  • Loyal Customer Favorites
  • Convenient Shopping
  • Affordable Prices and Frequent Sales
  • Caters to Diverse Body Types and Shapes

Loyal Customer Favorites

Loyal Old Navy customers rave about the company’s line of workout clothing, as well as its school uniform options for children. Our reviewers claim that the quality and fit of these items rival those of much higher-priced brands. Customers especially appreciate the savings on children’s uniform items, considering that those items must be replaced often as children grow.

Convenient Shopping 

Old Navy has more than 1,000 retail locations, as well as an easy-to-navigate website that allows customers to purchase from the other Gap brands at the same time and pay all at once. Old Navy also has a robust app that allows you to shop and choose to ship or pick up items at your local store, as well as store your receipts and your credit card information. 

Affordable Prices and Frequent Sales

Our reviewers love Old Navy’s affordable prices. The company caters to customers who love a good deal, and Old Navy delivers. Loyal customers who return often will benefit from the Old Navy Cash program, where customers receive store credit for a purchase at a later date, usually within the next month. Customers who purchase items that go on sale shortly after don’t have to worry about buyer’s remorse. The company offers a one-time price adjustment within 14 days of purchase.

Old Navy offers frequent sales and markdowns and is known for seasonal sales such as Black Friday, including doorbusters. Clearance items are regularly reduced, offering out of season or surplus items from prices starting at .99 cents, and many basic items such as jeans are frequently marked down 50 percent (in the $15–$20 range).

Caters to Diverse Body Types and Shapes 

Old Navy offers a wide variety of basics, including styles, colors, and fabrics that complement each other and comprise wardrobe staples. Customers appreciate the brand’s established line of plus size women's clothing. Shoppers can find clothing designed to fit both tall and petite frames. Jeans and pants are available in slim or curvy fit to appeal to customers with a variety of shapes.

The Bad

  • Return Policy 
  • Complaints About Product Quality

Return Policy 

Old Navy offers a 45-day return policy. Some frustrated customers do not feel this is enough time, especially because other stores such as Walmart or Target offer 90-day terms. Also, if you don’t have a receipt or items lack tags, customers only get store credit and at the sale price if the item has been marked down. 

Although this policy is problematic to some customers, other clothing retailers like Ross have similar policies, so it isn’t out of line with industry precedents. To mitigate issues with returns, customers can link in store receipts to the mobile app to avoid any reduction in return value.

Complaints About Product Quality 

Several one-star and two-star reviews mentioned that customers were disappointed with the quality of some Old Navy products. Customers mentioned issues with fabric pilling and rapid deterioration of the items during initial use and wash. It’s possible that the company’s dedication to a low-price point may mean sacrificing quality of materials. Customers who appreciate the company’s brand can look for higher quality items — at higher-price points — at the Gap and Banana Republic, both of which are part of the brand family.

The Bottom Line

Old Navy is one of the best options for family apparel. The brand offers an impressive selection of products at low prices. There is something for everyone in the family, and many shoppers enjoy purchasing matching or coordinating outfits for multiple family members for special occasions such as Christmas pajamas, holiday outfits, and family pictures. The company has excellent options for school uniforms, workout apparel, jeans, and plus size clothing. 

For the best deals, take advantage of the company’s frequent sales and promotions. Customers should also pay attention to the return policy and option for one-time price adjustments. If you are looking to invest in quality pieces that will be in your wardrobe for years, you may want to look at the Old Navy’s higher-end family of brands, including Banana Republic. But if you’re looking for a great price on wardrobe basics, you definitely want to take a look at Old Navy.

You can trust the name when it comes to old navy that when you shop in store or online you'll get the same quality. I got the Twill jacket in green and loved it so much I got 1 more for me, one for my mum and one for my cousin. 4 in all just of one items. I must have spent at least $600 just this month! Great store, great quality! P. S just be careful of boys pants sizes!

The only reason that I even know about Old Navy is because of my wife and kids. We as a family have always used Old Navy as a favorite shopping destination. Since the pandemic we as a family had been restricted to shopping online at Old Navy, and now I feel more comfortable with my personal shopping experience at Old Navy using online shopping. Surprisingly now I'm able to shop longer, with more patients and there seem to be available selections for men for me to choose from.

If you are looking to find a wide range of decently made clothes for a really good price then Old Navy is your place. We have taken our kids there for years to by them school clothes and summer clothes because you can find everything you need for a great price every time. The clothes aren't top notch quality but will definitely last long enough to outgrow them. Old Navy is my go to place

I love that Old NAvy is inclusive with their sizes, however, I wish they would amp up the quality and selection of offerings. Overall, some of my favorite pieces are from there, but I have found that they follow trends so closely that I can't often find staples there any longer. I will still be a Old Navy shopper, but I haven't found much to buy there lately.

I love old navy's cloths. They have a great variety of clothing and styles. All the clothing I have got from there are great quality. The one thing that I don't like is, the pants they have usually don't work very well for me because I am 6' 1" so if they got more pants that worked better for taller people that would be nicer. Other than that though I love to shop at old navy.

I have always loved Old Navy fir multiple reasons. Their clothing is great quality and is always at an affordable price. Something I really like about Old Navy is how much variety they have. They sell anything from jewelry to underwear. They also have a great online store as well with everything they have in store and more on it. I have enjoyed my experiences with Old Navy and am always excited to go back!

I have purchased many items from Old Navy.com. I like being able to use the promo codes online and think it's actually easier to sift through times to find the right sizes and colors. However, sometimes I don't like how prices change up and down and that you never really know if you got a good deal. That same shirt will be $5 more the next day, but you can use your Old Navy cash.... feels a little too complicated sometimes!

I really love this brand, the clothes are so clean and the quality is just perfect, I haven't had any issues. I used to buy new clothes when I travel but I tried to use the online store and it's awesome! I save time and the clothes are exactly the ones I pick, well I already know the brand but for those who hesitate about buying online I recommend it, the quality of the product is the same.

I have really enjoyed the customer service at Old Navy. I usually shop at their website, with the occasional visit to the store. Returning items is easy. For the stores, the clearance sections almost always look haphazard. The sizes of clothing are all mixed up into sections for different sizes of clothing. It makes me skip the clearance section a lot of times, because finding the right size and item I want can be like a treasure hunt. I like their clothing, but some is overpriced for the quality. I do like their shoes and feel they are decently priced.

I have shopped at Old Navy pretty much my entire life! They have great, affordable clothing and other merchandise. They also have a really flexible website when it comes to shipping a size of something they may not have in the store. Great customer service too. My only suggestion would be for them to update their computers! Their employees struggle so hard with those at check out.

The company, Old Navy, as a whole is wonderful. The quality of their products paired with their wonderful customer service makes shopping there a breeze. I was, however, disappointed in the quality of their website design. Although I appreciate Old Navy offering lots of sales and discounts, the website can be difficult to navigate and comprehend. It’s even more difficult to navigate when there are multiple sales going on at the same time. However, the products they have available make this nuisance seem minuscule. For years, I have been impressed with their quality of clothing. I have nine children, so shopping for all of them can feel difficult and overwhelming. Old Navy, with their durable and beautiful clothing, satisfies both my children and me.

Can you imagine my surprise finding plus size clothing? I like the quality on majority of the items. They are pretty much true to size. They are always having great deals I guess something for the whole family! Go check out Old Navy!

The quality of clothing has gotten better than previous years. The sizing for kids clothes feels a little off compared to other brands. The price of certain clothing (pants and sweatshirts) is higher than I would like to pay but the overall quality is average.

They have really good clothes but they do not have many options to choose from. My favorites are the shorts and button-up shirts. They are a good price and great quality. Staff are friendly and helpful. Online shopping is really easy and there are really good deals that you can find as well as more options than in-store.

I had a pair of jeans that I didn't have a receipt for. It was quite old, but still had the tags on it. I had purchased it for my grandson, and he wore a larger size than I thought. Old Navy sent me a voucher for the jeans, and I had to go back to the store, myself, and make a purchase. It would have been better if he could have done this.

I feel that the quality of Old Navy's clothes are not the best, as after a wash or two, they no longer have their shape and I usually don't get very many wears out of the clothes. For baby and children's clothing, though, they are great! Great quality and price, and always a fun variety to choose from.

Old Navy is pretty good with their pricing and their quality of items. They don't have a ton of mens items, in comparison to their women section. Also I feel like a lot of their clothing are for a younger crowd than for older people.

I like the stylish clothes I get for a good price. They always seem to have the current styles, which I really like. Then I don't have to work so hard to find lots of cute clothes in one place! They run out of my size a lot though, so I wish they would restock or keep more in stock when it comes to their inventory.

Old Navy has something for every age group. I like to shop for my grand daughters, daughters, and myself at their stores plus their outlets. There is variety and great discounts on many items. They are up to date on current styles and colors. If you can't find your size they will help you find another store or order it for you. Their return policy or refunds are quick and easy. Their clothes are of a good quality so if you follow the directions for cleaning they look great! We never leave the store empty handed. We always find what we are looking for plus more!

Love shopping Old Navy online. Great selection of clothes for the entire family. They have additional sales available on their website. When you pull it up, on the bottom of the page it says- your available deals- and gives you information on sales or additional percentage off your purchase. Shipping is quick and returns are easily made by shipping or to your local store

I prefer to try on clothes before I purchase, but sometimes it's easier to find what I'm looking for online at Old Navy. The brick and mortar stores sometimes seem cluttered with stuff on the wrong racks. Online I'm better able to find my size and colors... but then sometimes it doesn't fit as well. That said, I've liked most of the purchases I've made from Old Navy.

For affordable clothes that are stylish, but not too outlandish, I go to Old Navy. I can always find good stuff in the clearance racks for me and my kids, the clothes are comfortable, and even without a sale, the prices are usually pretty good. It's a go-to store for back to school shopping, and also for me when I need an update to both my casual and work wardrobe. It's one of those stores where you know you can find the basic of any kind of clothing - casual and professional.

Old Navy's website is always having great sales and I love getting things from them in the mail, especially when I know that I can return them to the store near me. The only thing I don't like is that shipping takes a little while. It comes in the mail in about a week or two. I have always shopped at Old Navy my whole life. Their clothes are just so cute and good for adults, teens, and kids. What a great store!

We shop at Old Navy frequently and love the choices available in clothing. Some of the clothing is very cheaply made and has holes in shirts especially within a few months. "You get what you pay for". Love their sales. Customer service has been good. Online ordering is sent quickly and can return to stores if it doesn't work out. One complaint is how messy the stores are. Unfortunately, the customers are pretty disrespectful and don't put anything away, and then the employees seem overwhelmed at all they have to do.

Worth shopping here when they have awesome sales. Their clothes aren't the best quality, but when you can get them super cheap on sale/clearance then it is worth it. They have awesome customer service, too and if your order gets messed up then they always send a coupon code to make up for it. Sometimes the wait on the phone can be pretty long. Employees in store are usually friendly and helpful too. Orders usually get to me pretty quick too and sometimes faster than the shipping method I chose.

Old Navy is very affordable, but most of the time you get what you pay for. I’ve noticed a lot of our clothes from here shrink the more you wash them. However, I love buying kids clothes from here because kids don’t stay in the same size very long. I also love getting our flip-flops from here and other shoes for my baby and toddler. They are very worth it.

I do most of my kids clothes shopping on OldNavy.com. They normally have really great sales every so often and if you put in a big order it's free shipping. They make returns easy by letting you return to any local Old Navy. Their clothes are normally decent quality. Once you're out of the baby and toddler section the cuteness of the clothes goes WAY down. So once my kids are out of toddler sizes I start shopping somewhere else. I would give Old Navy five stars if they always offered free shipping. That should just be standard in todays world.

Love their clearance sales for my grandkids! They truly mark their prices down instead of starting with them extra high and then bringing them down and calling it a sale. I ended up getting T-shirts for an 18-month-old for $1.75 a piece! Thank you Old Navy!

Old navy always has a great selection, both in store and online, and their prices are usually pretty good too. They also have sales super often, so if you don't like the price of something, chances are you can get it on sale at some point. Their clothes are all pretty cute and generally of nice quality, but they're not always built to last.
