If you’ve been feeling drawn to Old Navy lately, you’re not alone. The brand that was once a staple in the late ’90s is making a major comeback in the fashion world. With more versatile pieces, stylish accessories, and cohesive collections, it’s no coincidence that Old Navy is back on top. And we have creative director Zac Posen to thank for that.
One of the latest collections from Old Navy is called The Occasion – a line of elevated dresses and separates perfect for special events. Whether you have a summer wedding, rehearsal dinner, charity gala, or any other fancy occasion on your calendar, Old Navy has got you covered. And the best part? The price point is still as affordable as ever, with pieces ranging from $25 to $66.
Available in sizes XS–4X and offered in a variety of seasonal prints, solids, and playful polka dots, we couldn’t resist trying out the collection for ourselves. Three editors each picked a look (or two!) they loved – from a breezy two-piece set to a flouncy bubble dress and a sleek off-the-shoulder number. We wore them to events, around town, and even while lounging at home. Needless to say, we got very familiar with these pieces – and we’re not complaining. Keep reading to see how each look held up in real life and to hear our honest thoughts. Spoiler alert: you might just want to add one (or a few) of these pieces to your cart.
First up, the breezy two-piece set. This look is perfect for a summer wedding or any outdoor event. The lightweight fabric and flowy silhouette kept us cool and comfortable all day long. We also loved the versatility of this set – the top and skirt can be worn separately with other pieces in our wardrobe. And the best part? It’s only $50 for the entire set.
Next, we tried out the flouncy bubble dress. This dress is a showstopper with its playful polka dot print and flattering fit. We received so many compliments while wearing it and felt confident and stylish all night. The only downside? The fabric is a bit on the thinner side, so we recommend wearing seamless undergarments. But for only $35, we can’t complain.
Last but not least, we tried the sleek off-the-shoulder number. This dress is perfect for a more formal event and we felt like a million bucks while wearing it. The off-the-shoulder neckline adds a touch of elegance, while the fitted silhouette hugs our curves in all the right places. And at only $66, it’s a steal for a dress that looks and feels so luxurious.
Overall, we were thoroughly impressed with Old Navy’s The Occasion collection. The pieces are not only stylish and versatile, but also affordable and inclusive in size range. We love that Old Navy is making fashion accessible to everyone, regardless of their budget or body type. So if you have a special event coming up, don’t hesitate to check out The Occasion collection at Old Navy. Trust us, you won’t be disappointed.
