Over the past few months, I’ve noticed a trend on my TikTok FYP. I saw a lot of people wearing black sport dress and introduce many ways to style them. Recently I have started to continue “hot girl walking on the street” every day, and while I usually just wear tight pants and a sports bra, after seeing so many cute sports dresses on TikTok, I knew I had to buy one. Defect? All the options I continue to see online are out of my price range.
Last month, I decided to put more effort into my search and I finally found an affordable option that is just as cute as the expensive ones: Old Navy Sleeveless PowerSoft Performance Racer-Back Mini Swing Dress ($45). As soon as I got it in the mail, I knew it was going to be a winner. The material is soft, the length is perfect, and it looks 10 times more expensive than it really is. For all the details on my favorite new dress and ideas on how to style it, keep reading.
What I love about this old navy dress
I’ve always loved dresses because, in my mind, they’re ‘one on and you’re done’ outfits. There’s no need to think about matching your top and bottom pieces because once you put on a dress, you’re all set. This dress is no different, and I love that it can be easily worn up or down and worn for a variety of activities. Plus, it’s very comfortable. The material feels like butter, and it’s comfortable enough to wear all day – I even wore it on a six-hour drive to Los Angeles and had no problems.
My favorite way to style this dress is with a pair of sneakers or sandals and a white button-up on top. I love that the addition of white buttons makes the outfit look so cosy and classy. When I want a more casual look, I wear a cardigan or cardigan over my shoulders and usually wear a baseball cap. No matter how I wear it, I always get a lot of questions about the origin of my dress, and people are always surprised at how affordable it is.
Something worth noting
This dress is meant to be flowy rather than tight. I’m wearing my typical XS, but it’s still roomy. If you are looking for a better fit, I would definitely recommend downsizing. Otherwise, you’ll most likely be safe with choosing your typical size. The dress also has over 650 reviews on the Old Navy website, with plenty of photos that you can check out if you want to see the dress in all different sizes.
Who is this dress best suited for?
I think this dress is a great addition to anyone’s wardrobe. It’s the perfect outfit to pair with sneakers and wear when the hot girl goes for a daily walk, running errands or even exercising. It’s very versatile, so I love that I can swap my sneakers for a pair of sandals and wear this dress to lunch with my girlfriends. I would recommend it to anyone!
