Get Woke, Go Broke: Old Navy Takes Massive Loss, Angers Customers After Going All-In On ‘Inclusivity’ Sizing

Instead of cashing in on the feminist movement and earning praise for its apparent progressivism, Old Navy was left with clothing in only the extremely large and small sizes — and unhappy customers. A lot of unhappy customers.

Reads like a Babylonbee article, except it isn't.

There is nothing wrong with providing all sizes of clothes, but it certainly appears ON had no clue how to do this.

This wokeness everywhere will backfire and then they’ll have to backpedal it all back.

It always amazes me that in Jean displays the smaller waist sizes for men are at eye level. As the sizes get bigger they get nearer to the floor. Does that make a bit of sense. By the time you are in the 40inch waits  you darn near got to hold your breath and bend your fat butt over without passing out 

 

Not very inclusive

I agree. People of all sizes need to be able to find clothing that fits them. Perhaps a "production on demand" for extended sizing on either side of very small and very large would be a better model. When orders got to a critical mass, then the garments could be produced. But really when it gets down to it, ON clothes are fast fashion, cheap and disposable. We should try to focus on buying less cheap stuff that might last a season and more on buying hard-wearing items that go the distance, and preferably clothes made in the USA. I try to buy American whenever I can, as does my husband. We choose classics we can wear again and again, as long as we take care of them. (We do!)

Assuming that one achieves and survives this, it enables another opportunity:  "Oh, cool!  What else can I accomplish while I'm down here?"
