I can't stand their commercials, they make me want to scream. I went to their store once, maybe twice and I was totally depressed. Give me The Gap anyday (at least their commercials are cool!)!!!!

Actually, I can tell you that Star Jones wears Payless shoes at least SOME of the time. I met her a while back at a political thing I was at. The mood was very heavy, so I didn't bother chatting her up... But, she was wearing a pair of shoes I had just bought from Payless...

The problem I have with Old Navy clothes is that the women's clothes are cut really, really small. If you have ANY kind of bust, it's impossible to find one of the women's tops to wear that doesn't look like a baby tee or show midriff. And I usually have to go a size larger in their jeans than I usually go. (I am also short...5'3" and most of the pants are waaay too long on me as well.)

Old Navy sucks, its dispoasable clothing

My daughters love the T shirts at Old Navy. They're cute, with sparkly stuff or cute sayings or pictures or whatever and very cheap so I don't care if they get tired of them after wearing them three times.

Whoever said they were disposable clothes is right on the money, though.

KR, that's exactly why my sister does not mind getting clothes that my niece and nephew want from Old Navy. They grow out of the clothes before they get a chance to tear up or go out of style.

I can't see why they're so popular with adults, though.

I can't afford frequent trips to the Gap, AE, A&F, or Banana.

I'm one of those poor folk, so Old Navy's something I love. It's all about the Clearance Sales for me. Overalls for $9.99 and t-shirts for $5.99? You can't go wrong with those.

I also have a hard time finding jeans that'll fit perfectly, but for some reason Old Navy jeans do the job.

I got a skirt at Old Navy for 1.99 once. I still wear it; its a great basic black skirt.

For the most part, though, the clothes are pretty disposable. My "fat" jeans are from there; they're cheap and I dont' feel badly when they get too big again.

I hate that all of their pants are made for REALLY tall people. I can't wear their capris, because at my height of 5'4, it just looks like my pants stayed in the dryer too long.

33girl, have you tried New York and Co.? That's all I wear around the office.

And I have the opposite problem with Old Navy pants from almost everyone else... I have a 36.5 inch inseam, and everything there is too short. I have to special order from Gap.com. If anyone needs extra-short or extra-long pants, gap.com has them for reasonable prices! And they last forever. I've had a few pairs for 6 years and they're still going strong!

Random factoid - Gap, Old Navy and Banana Republic are all owned by Gap, Inc. I'm fairly certain clothes for all three stores are distributed from the exact same warehouse.

They may be distributed from the same warehouse, but they are not the same. Old Navy uses lighter weight fabric than the similarly designed Gap clothing, which means it wears out faster.

I hate knowing facts about clothing, but that's what happens when your mom has a degree from FIT.
