Why We Love Chico’s: Let Us Count The Ways
June 5, 2016

Women in their 40’s, 50’s, and beyond want to look chic. But most of us don’t have the bodies we had years ago, so what’s a girl to do? Chico’s to the rescue! Stylish, classic, affordable, and oh, so FABULOUS!

 

chico'sChico’s was founded in 1983 as a small boutique selling Mexican folk art and cotton sweaters on Sanibel Island in Florida. Their friendly environment and unique styles connected with customers in a special way that quickly evolved into over 700 Chico’s boutiques nationwide, a monthly catalog, and round-the-clock shopping at chicos.com.

 

There are so many reasons to love Chico’s. Here are a few of mine:

  • Chico’s knows what I want and crave: Color, styles, and fabrics that fit and flatter the body I have now.
  • Chico’s understands my lifestyle and needs. (Traveling, casual wear, comfort.)

  • One-stop shopping. Chico’s has clothing that can take me from beach, to picnic, to cocktail hour.
  • Sizing. Chico’s unique 0 – 3 sizing gets me excited about shopping. When I’m trying on clothes and I can wear a single digit, of course I’m thrilled!
  • Choices. I’ll just mention two words: JEWELRY and ACCESSORIES!

I love reading the style tips that help me now that i am retired and not wearing scrubs all the time. I live on a ranch, but love going to cities for cosmopolitan culture, and want to fit in and feel comfortable with my appearance. Thank you, Mary

I want to see clothes with collars! Older women need that! Also, sleeves…….more straight cut lines, not curvy! I am 92 years old but still LIKE clothes!!! The simpler the better—just beautiful fabrics and colors!!! I LOVE your jewelry! I live in Temple and find it hard to get to Waco…….how about a trunk show in Temple some time????

    Julie,
    The sizing is a little different, but once you get used to wearing size 0-3, it’s a snap. And their colors and styles are so fabulous. Every season they come out with the most original outfits. Mix and match and make it your own. And their accessories are to die for…and won’t break the bank.
    Thanks for writing.

I love that you take such a rounded approach to personal style. It’s not just about what designer dress came out that will work for you; it’s about finding accessories, clothes and things that make you feel *and* look good and as someone who dreams of being a serial redecorator, I love the little bits about home pieces.

    Style isn’t always about clothing. Whether we are designing a room, choosing bedding, or designing a dining table, it’s all about the choices we make that communicate our personal style.
