The retailer currently carries extended sizes in stores, with mainline offerings going up to size 20 for women. In order to further expand size accessibility, Old Navy will be introducing the Plus collection, previously only available online, into 75 select stores.
One of the next things we wondered was: does old Navy sell plus-size clothes?
Old Navy, owned by Gap ( GPS), has carried plus-size clothing sizes of 16 and above since 2004 and in 2018 introduced specialized plus shops within 75 stores. A year later, the company began testing concept stores with all of its merchandise grouped together. Selling plus-size clothing hasn’t always gone smoothly for Old Navy, however.

Not only will there be plus sizes in store, but just like every other department inside Old Navy, plus sizes, will have their own section and not as an afterthought.
Formerly select Old Navy stores (circa 2005–2007) carried a variety of Plus sizes in store.

You may be asking “Is old Navy a good place to shop?”
While classic is the name of the game at the Gap and Banana Republic specializes in style, Old Navy is looking for value. Old Navy uses lots of manufacturers so their quality and even sizing vary considerably. It’s definitely a great place for what I consider disposable clothing.
