In the spring, I sent my aunt a link to The Occasion by Old Navy High-Waisted Taffeta Midi Skirt, which she immediately bought. It’s since become one of her favorite pieces—she’s worn it everywhere from my cousin’s college graduation to a vacation in Morocco. Since she loved it so much—and with Black Friday coming up—she asked me to make her a shopping list for Old Navy.
If you haven’t shopped at Old Navy in a while, it’s quietly become a go-to for basics. Even my best friend recently wore a few of its tops, and when I asked where they were from, she said she’d just wandered into the store at the mall and found tons of staples.
As I browsed for my aunt this time, a few standouts caught my eye: the Sleeveless Satin Midi Dress, the Anna Sui collection (Old Navy’s first designer collaboration), a couple of everyday bags, and plenty of denim. Keep scrolling to see every under-$50 piece I recommended.
