Everyday Style from Old Navy: Easy, Affordable Looks You’ll Love
A Petite-Sized Try-On You Can Actually See Yourself In
Once again, my daughter-in-law, Stephanie, is doing a try-on haul for everyone to enjoy. She is 5’3″, so technically petite, even though she doesn’t always shop in the petite section. Like many of you, she finds herself somewhere in the middle: wanting comfort, but still wanting to look put together. Plus, wanting affordable pieces that don’t look too young, or too frumpy.
So today, Stephanie is sharing a full try-on from Old Navy with easy outfits you can mix and match through the week. She has included notes on how everything fits, how she styled each piece, and what works (or doesn’t) on a petite frame. I hope you enjoy this try-on of everyday style from Old Navy.
Take it away, Stephanie!
Easy Summer Dresses That Flatter
Linen-Blend Midi Dress
This Midi Dress was love at first try-on. It’s lightweight and breezy, with wide straps that make it totally bra-friendly. The length hits a few inches below the knee on me, not too long, not too short, and the fit through the waist gives it a shape without clinging.
Stephanie’s Tip: Midi dresses can sometimes overwhelm petites, but the cut of this one helps it drape just right. I added the woven mules for a touch of polish without needing a heel.
Above the Knee Denim Dress
This Denim Dress has the perfect casual vibe. It’s structured enough to hold its shape but soft enough to feel lived-in. I loved that the above-the-knee hem didn’t cut me off or feel too short. It would be cute with sneakers too, but I opted for the Faux-Leather Mules and Sun Hat to dress it up a bit.
Stephanie’s Tip: A straight, above-the-knee dress like this gives you legs-for-days without having to show too much.
Everyday Denim You’ll Actually Want to Wear
Straight Ankle Jeans and A Crop T-Shirt
I wasn’t sure about this Crop T-Shirt at first, but now I want one in every color. It hits perfectly at the top of these high-rise jeans without showing skin, just enough to keep your proportions in check. The OG Straight Ankle Jeans are a safe bet if you’re petite and want something classic with a little structure.
Stephanie’s Tip: Cropped doesn’t have to mean bare midriff! On petite frames, a slightly cropped tee can keep the outfit balanced and legs looking longer.
Barrel Ankle Jeans And A Puff-Sleeve Sweater
This Puff-Sleeve Sweater added a feminine touch without going overboard. I paired it with Barrel Jeans, which I already own, and they totally work! They’re roomy in the thigh and taper at the ankle, which gives a flattering shape without overwhelming my frame.
Stephanie’s Tip: When your jeans have volume, make sure your top is more tailored or tucked. It keeps you from getting lost in the outfit.
Boyfriend Straight Jeans And A Striped T-Shirt
This combo felt effortlessly classic. The medium Striped T-Shirt gave me a bit of room without being baggy, and these Boyfriend Straight Jeans were the real star. They have a slouchy-but-not-sloppy fit and hit me right at the ankle, no hemming needed!
Stephanie’s Tip: When wearing looser jeans as a petite, I like to keep the top half clean and semi-fitted. A tucked-in or front-tucked tee does the trick.
Button-Fly Straight Ankle Jeans And A Button-Down Oxford Cropped Shirt
This outfit feels sharp but effortless. The cropped button-down hits right above the waistband of the jeans and gives just a peek of shape. The fabric is crisp but comfortable, and I could easily wear this running errands or out to lunch.
Stephanie’s Tip: Cropped button-downs are a petite girl’s friend, no extra fabric to tuck in, and no weird bunching at the waist.
Cozy Sets & Layers You’ll Want to Live In
Half-Zip Sweatshirt And High-Waisted Joggers
This set was so soft and comfy! The Fleece Half-Zip Sweatshirt has a relaxed, roomy fit and works great with joggers or jeans. The SleekTech Joggers are more polished than traditional sweats, kind of like if yoga pants and joggers had a baby. I sized down in the joggers for a slimmer fit.
Stephanie’s Tip: Don’t be afraid to mix and match your fleece pieces. A fitted jogger with a half-zip pullover keeps the whole look sleek.
Open-Front Wrap And High-Waisted Joggers
This Open-Front Wrap is a winner. It’s lightweight and flowy but still layers nicely. I wore it with the same SleekTech Joggers and sneakers, and it instantly made the outfit feel intentional, like something you could wear for errands or travel and still feel put together.
Stephanie’s Tip: Layering with a wrap or long cardigan works best when the base pieces are more fitted. It keeps your shape defined without bulk.
Fleece Pullover Sweatshirt And A Fleece Jogger Sweatpants
This outfit feels like a cozy weekend uniform. The bounce fleece has that pillowy, cloud-like feel that makes you want to keep it on all day. I sized down in the Pullover Sweatshirt and up in the Jogger Sweatpants for a looser fit on the bottom.
Stephanie’s Tip: If your fleece top is oversized, try cuffing the sleeves or doing a partial front tuck, it helps break up the shape and gives your outfit more polish.
Final Thoughts on Everyday Style from Old Navy
These Old Navy pieces are just easy, easy to wear, easy to mix and match, and easy to feel good in. I was genuinely impressed by how many petite-friendly options worked right off the rack, no hemming or fussing required.
Whether you’re running errands, heading out to lunch, or just trying to build a wardrobe that feels current but comfortable, I hope these looks gave you some helpful ideas. Let me know which one’s your favorite, or if there’s a piece you want me to try next time!

😀 love these old navy looks.
Great post. Stephanie is doing a great job. Just wish I was a size 2😄
So adorable … the outfits AND the model!
Videos are now working perfectly.
Stephanie’s tips are great!
Didn’t realize that old navy had lots of options for petites . Being 5’3 opened my eyes from Stephanie’s tips ! Hope we see more of your cute DIL.
Great post.
I’m 5’3″ tall and would love to see more fashion hauls by Stephanie! I like her style even though I’m old enough to be her mother.
🙂 Love the videos and hearing your darling DIL share her clothing tips. Will try to hit an Old Navy near me before the sale goes away!!
😀 cute outfits
Really enjoyed this try-on haul with the videos. Being 5’3” myself I found Stephanie’s tips helpful. I was watching the video while waiting in the doctor’s office and dropped by Old Navy after the visit and bought the jeans dress.
Found it:) I really like the jeans.
🙂 Love the videos! You and Stephanie have the cutest accents.
( I am from the Pacific Northwest).
🙂love the open front wrap!
Love the linen dress. 😊
🙂
Great post!!
😊 I have Old Navy leisure from winter. I have the same sweatshirt and joggers. I order petites in the pants but regular in the sweatshirt since it’s short. I’m 5’2 and it fits good.
😀 Nice to see petite outfits. Stephanie is very pretty and looks great in everything!
The open front wrap and joggers looks great for travel. I like the cropped button down as well. When petites can buy things off the rack without alterations, that is a major win for us! Thanks Stephanie!
😊 First, your DIL is so pretty, and she looks great in everything! My favorite was the denim dress and hat! She’s a keeper!
🙂 Thanks Stephanie! I love the midrise boyfriend jeans, stripe top and faux woven mules. I also would like to try the open front wrap with the joggers. It looks super comfy! You look great in all the ON items. I really enjoy your videos!!
😃 I love the personal greeting on the daily email. It’s the little things😇 Now, Stephanie’s choices at Old Navy are amazing. I have got to go check out the jeans and I love those tan shoes! She is a great model like you! You both wear clothing so well.
Old Navy is my go to source for jeans, sweatshirts, and tees. They have a great selection of sizes and the prices are perfect for a stay at home wardrobe following retirement.
🙂
Her hair is stunning!!
I know. I love the color!
😊The short sleeved above the knee denim dress is a real winner. I purchased a half zip pullover sweatshirt and joggers at Old Navy last year and really enjoyed wearing them. Great price point and really comfortable.
I love seeing the petite clothing! Many cute things from Old Navy! Stephanie is a perfect model and I appreciate her styling advice.
Thank you for highlighting petite clothes from time to time! Old Navy usually has a great selection of petite clothing – and not just pants. I will have to look for the cropped button down. My first thought upon seeing the picture was – wow! they are selling petite sized button-down shirts! As petites – we have learned to look for the word crop on pants as they are generally 25 – 26″. Not all of us petites can were 28″ inseams which seems to be a standard petite lengthy anymore. Again, thank you.
Found it! Great pieces. Really like the midi dress. Very flattering.
🙂 Found it! Stephanie is fabulous! Even though I am not petite, I really enjoy her posts!
😀. Love Old Navy! Stephanie is doing a great job!
Loved just about all of the outfits! Especially the dresses.
🙂
☺️ You are doing fantastic Stephanie! The denim dress is adorable and definitely can transition into the Fall…and the hat tops it off great. My daughter would like a lot of these items that you have styled. I will share this with her.
~Lisa~
😊This is so helpful for us petites but she looks beautiful in everything she puts on! Thank you beautiful Stephanie!
😊 old navy always has cute things!
☺️ I really liked all of the outfits and I love Old Navy. I had trouble on my IPad with the last couple of videos.
😊 Found It!
Cute choices. I like that some of the items can carry over into other seasons.
😊The videos didn’t work before, now they do. You have to tap in the upper right hand corner to hear the video. The link below the video doesn’t actually work for that even though it says “click here to hear the video.”
😊 Can’t believe I finally found one!😂
Thanks for always being mindful to include posts with affordable options!🩷
For some reason, I couldn’t get the sound to work, but pictures are worth 1000 words anyway, right? Thanks also for including Petite options. 😊
Martha, you have to click the speaker icon to hear the video. It is on the top right corner if you are on a phone, and the bottom right if you are on a laptop or computer.
First off, Stephanie is ADORABLE. I’m 5’4” so petite sizes work for me in most cases. I’m a fan of ON b/c of the price point and on trend styles. I would totally wear every one of the outfits Stephanie modeled – but I would not look as cute. Ha-ha.
I really like her style tips and the videos.
Great job
She is a doll, and is as sweet as she is gorgeous.
Love Stephanie’s style and tips! I’m her height and buy all my jeans from Old Navy. I’m going to order some od her finds. Thanks!
😊 Love all of Stephanies’s tips and styles. I have found Old Navy styles fit me best but the tees tend to not last.
😃 Stephanie, I really liked everything you tried on at ON. I’m wondering how much of it went home with you.
I didn’t even ask her. Lol!
🙂
Great post Stephanie! Love the denim dress!!!
🙂 Oh to have that perfectly waved hair. Not too curly; not too straight. Also thanks for the up close of the striped shirt. That made me really love it.
Well, she is a hairdresser, so I’m sure she has had a lot of practice fixing hair.
😏Found it. Stephanie is ADORABLE! B
🙂 Great videos. I had no problem viewing. I like Old Navy for their good deals and ageless styles.
🙂 I’ve been shopping at Old Navy lately. I loved that the linen pants I purchased did not need hemming (I’m 5’3″).
So happy to have Stephanie on your blog. It’s been so hard as a petite gal trying to find clothing, but her try-ons and videos have been really helpful. Thank you!
😊 Great job Stephanie! Love the navy and green sweater-so cute
🙂
I want everything in this post!! Definitely will be trying the jeans! She is beautiful!
I didn’t find today’s smiley! 🙁Thank you Stephanie! I am going to save this email so I can shop thru your link when I have time to look thru all the new fall fashions !
That is very thoughtful of you and helps a lot.
😊I am petite as well and buy most of my jeans at Old Navy because they offer “short” length. Good price point too!!
😊I like the joggers with the wrap. Super cute.
🙂 Such a pretty girl with gorgeous hair!! Steph is doing a great job. I’m definitely not petite but enjoy looking at the videos (which worked great) and pictures. I like both dresses and the joggers and cardigan.
🙂 Your DIL is just GORGEOUS!!
Thank you! I’m petite and I love seeing clothes on a petite person. Thank you for sharing this.
🙂 Love these comfy sets and tips!
Your daughter-in-law is a doll…she would look good in anything!
Have not had luck with the videos…play a couple seconds then off
It sounds like they need time to completely load. The load speed depends on the strength of your internet upload and download speed.
Love the petite clothes from Old Navy. Your DIL is so pretty.
I’m both petite and under 40, so Stephanie’s try-on haul’s are so helpful for me! I’m trying to understand how to dress my body better, and I’m learning so much already. Thank you!
P.S.- Tania, I love all your try-on hauls, too! ❤️
I’m glad to know the addition of Stephanie is helpful. I love that she is younger, and brings new women to the blog.
🙂 I am enjoying your daughter-in-law. I could see the videos this time. Thank you.

😊 Cute outfits. I’ll have to check out Old Navy. Stephanie did a great job!
Love the outfits. I may have to visit my local Old Navy.
Love what your DIL chose to model. Jeans and t-shirts are what this retire lady lives in. I have a barrel jeans and love them!

😊 Stephanie is doing a great job! I see several things I want to check out.
Video and sound worked great today, and I did enjoy it. Thanks for the petite inclusions. My local Old Navy does not carry many petites, and they are all mixed in. I would suggest that Stephanie comment on whether she is wearing a petite or regular size to better help petites judge lengths.
I’ll ask her to mention it if she is wearing a petite size.
😊 All the outfits are super cute! I especially love the denim dress!
Stephanie is just beautiful. I love all the outfits on her.
