It seems like kids are always outgrowing their clothing faster than you can buy it. So with warmer weather on the horizon, many parents are realizing that it's time to start shopping for new tees, shorts and tanks to replace the now too-small versions from last year. But with uncertainty over inflation at an all-time high and prices of essential items like gas and food skyrocketing, many families are feeling pressed financially.
In response, Old Navy has launched a new "Price ON-Lock" initiative, a commitment to freezing the current price tags on kids' everyday fashion essentials, despite the rising prices of the industry.
“At Old Navy, we’re committed to staying true to our promise of democracy of style and service, and are confident in our ability to offer great style, fit and quality at competitive prices across all categories," Andres Dorronsoro, Old Navy senior vice president and head of merchandising said in a statement shared with Shop TODAY. "Our customers, and parents in particular, are feeling the pressures of inflation and we want to assure them that they can outfit their children for summer and back-to-school with our everyday kids fashion essentials at a guaranteed price and value.”
The new initiative applies to boys' and girls' items labeled "Everyday Magic" and will be valid through the end of September, giving parents plenty of time to get their back-to-school shopping done without worrying about price hikes. The "Everyday Magic" section is filled with affordable items like $5 tees, $10 shorts, $8 activewear staples.
From graphic tees to colorful leggings, here are some of the kids' fashion essentials that will be included in the new initiative.
