From flip-flops and fleece pullovers to notebooks and sunglasses, Old Navy Store sells it all. The online store is user-friendly and standard shipping is only $5. You can see what sizes and colors are in stock immediately upon ordering. The actual store itself is a Mecca of clothing with a warehouse-like decor.

Fashion for Your Dog

Sized to Fit All Teens
This casual clothing store has something to fit pretty much everyone. For ladies, selected styles come in petite and tall, ranging in size from 1 to 26. Men's styles come in regular and tall, from small to XXXL for shirts and waist sizes 28-50 (inseams 30-36) for pants. Not all stores carry all sizes, but most can be found online. The store also carries a variety of infant and children's sizes, as well as maternity clothes.
What's Hot?
For the colder months, jeans (all styles), layered long-sleeved t-shirts and fleece pullovers are a hit amongst Generation Y. When it's warm outside, it's all about flip-flops, bathing suits, cargo shorts, tanks and t-shirts. Colors don't matter much as long as it fits and looks good.
Bargain Shopping
If you time it just right, you can really clean up during the seasonal clearance sales, during which selected items sell for up to 75 percent off original prices -- perfect for those budget-conscious teens. Online sales are a hit too with Bargains and Super Sales held every day.
Catchy Commercials
Remember the 1998 advertising jingle, Old Navy! Old Navy! Old Navy performance fleece? This holiday campaign had consumers singing for months. Or what about 1970s-era ads that spoofed The Brady Bunch, The Love Boat and The Dating Game? Again, it caught the consumer's attention because they were deliberately cheesy, but also colorful, tasteful and most importantly -- memorable. Most ad spots also featured Magic, the store's mascot.
Major television and music personalities have starred in Old Navy Store commercials. They include:
- Lil' Kim
- Morgan Fairchild
- Joan Collins
- Fran Drescher
- Sherman Hemsley
- Isabel Sanford
- Contestants from the first season of American Idol

According to Cotton Incorporated's Lifestyle Monitor, 79 percent of females 16-24 years old say they either like or love shopping for clothes. Fifty-two percent say they like being noticed for what they wear.
About Old Navy Store
Old Navy Store opened its doors in 1994, and today has close to 1,000 stores worldwide. It is one of several chain stores owned by Gap, Inc.
