I was so excited to hear that I was selected for another Old Navy sample and share! This time it was for Old Navy Best Tees, allowing me and a friend to pick out two each! I have a little bit of experience with Old Navy tees. Last year I bought two in the v-neck style just before summer started. They were some of my favorite tees for the season but they seemed to stretch out a little as time went on. I was really interested to see how the tees felt and looked this year!
I took my sister with me for this shopping trip because she has lots of nice dressy clothing but could really use some simple tees for everyday use. We went early in the day, around 11 o'clock. The store was full of bright, summer colored clothing and I noticed a ton of other styles of shirts and dresses that I would love to get! The manager told us that we were able to pick from the styles on two of the tables in the store for our sample and share. The first table had the v-necks (like I had purchased last year), as well as some cute longer sleeve styles with stripes. I was immediately drawn to the shirts with stripes because I like to have a little pattern to my clothes if possible. Anything to dress it up a little bit is perfect for me.
So many choices!
The other table that we were able to choose shirts from had many different swoop neck tees, mostly in the main primary colors. I grabbed a few to try on because I usually stay away from swoop necks but wanted to see how they look on me.
After gathering arm fulls of clothing each, we headed to the fitting room! I was really impressed in the material that all of the tees were made from. It is very soft, and really comfortable. I have really sensitive skin and sometimes clothing rubs and starts to itch and bother me after a while but it was really obvious that Old Navy's tees wouldn't do that. The quality of their material for the tees was really high!
This is the softest shirt ever!
I have had no problem finding Old Navy clothes that I love on previous shopping trips, but for this trip it was a little different. My sister and I both had problems finding tees that fit us properly. I have a larger chest but skinny waist, so a lot of the shirts looked stretched out over the front of me. I tried on a large to start with (which is what size my tees were from last year) and the shoulders seemed way too big. I ended up settling with a size small in the one style because it was the only one that fit with the right proportions. I also had a big problem with the v-necks being really baggy up top. And like I said, I have a big chest, so how baggy is the top on other women? It just seemed really loose and I didn't want to worry about bending over and having the whole world see down my shirt!
A little baggy up top.
My sister is really thin but tall, so she had a problem with the shirts clinging to her, to make her look too skinny. She also noticed that the sizes ranged so much from one to the other. The two shirts she ended up choosing were the same style but one was a medium and the other was an extra-small. I was a little shocked that the sizes varied that much! We had to keep trying each size, in each color, because we couldn't find any real consistency in the sizes.
The one shirt that really fit me perfectly was the longer sleeved striped style that I chose to purchase. I love the way it fits, it has just the right amount of stretch and it isn't too tight. It is perfect for lounging around the house! I also like that it has a little bit of a baseball look to it…very sporty! I am sure this will be one of my go-to shirts when I am looking for something cute but comfy! I also learned my previous opinion of swoop necks not fitting me properly was wrong. I love the blue swoop neck that I chose. The color is the perfect, bright shade of blue and it looks so great with a pair of jeans!
Love the style of this top!
One of my sister's favorites!
So overall, I would summarize by saying Old Navy has really great quality tees, with lots of cute colors and styles. The sizes do seem to range a lot so just take the time to try on each one to find the one that fits you best! :) I am really happy with the styles I chose and can’t wait to go back and shop some more!
A day of fun shopping!
