If you’ve been feeling drawn to Old Navy lately, you’re not alone. The brand that dominated the late ’90s is making a serious comeback in the fashion world. Its pieces are more versatile, the accessories are stylish, and the new collections are on point – all thanks to creative director Zac Posen.
One of the latest collections from Old Navy is called The Occasion, and it’s specifically designed for those special events in your life.

Available in sizes XS to 4X and offered in a variety of seasonal prints, solids, and playful polka dots, we knew we had to try out this collection for ourselves. Three editors each picked a look (or two!) that caught their eye – from a breezy two-piece set to a flouncy bubble dress and a sleek off-the-shoulder number. We wore these pieces to events, around town, and even while lounging at home. Needless to say, we got very familiar with these outfits – 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 features a flowy, off-the-shoulder top paired with high-waisted, wide-leg pants. The lightweight fabric and loose fit make it perfect for warmer weather, and the trendy off-the-shoulder style adds a touch of femininity. We wore this set to a summer wedding and received so many compliments. The best part? It was comfortable enough to dance the night away in. We also loved that we could mix and match the pieces with other items in our wardrobe, making it a versatile addition to our closet.
Next, we tried out the flouncy bubble dress. This dress is perfect for a more formal occasion, with its elegant silhouette and delicate floral print. The ruffle detailing adds a playful touch, making it suitable for both daytime and evening events. We wore this dress to a charity gala and felt like a million bucks. The fit was flattering and the dress was comfortable enough to wear for hours on end. Plus, the price point was a steal compared to other dresses we’ve seen on the market.
Last but not least, we tested out the sleek off-the-shoulder number. This dress is the epitome of sophistication, with its fitted silhouette and off-the-shoulder neckline. The bold red color adds a pop of color, making it perfect for any fancy occasion. We wore this dress to a rehearsal dinner and received so many compliments. The fabric has a slight stretch to it, making it comfortable to wear and move around in. We also appreciated that the dress had built-in bra cups, eliminating the need for a strapless bra.
Overall, we were thoroughly impressed with Old Navy’s The Occasion collection. The pieces are stylish, versatile, and budget-friendly – a winning combination in our books. We loved that the collection caters to a wide range of sizes and offers a variety of prints and styles. Whether you have a summer wedding or a charity gala coming up, Old Navy has you covered. So go ahead and add a few pieces from The Occasion to your cart – we promise you won’t regret it!
