Chico’s Early Fall 2025 Collection: Part 2

I’m back for Part 2 of my Chico’s early fall try-on. As I shared yesterday, I spent quite a lot of time in Chico’s checking out the new fall collection and will be sharing a few more of the items I found.

While there are lots of options in the store, I’m sharing what works best on my body and for my lifestyle. A friendly reminder that when you shop, I always appreciate if you can do so by clicking the links in my post. This supports my business, and I am so happy you’re here.

First up, I tried on a simple casual combo. This colorblock cardigan and sweater tank are in a black/ecru combo. It’s nice to have the ivory near your face if black seems harsh on your complexion. These both have very high reviews on the website and seem like versatile workhorses in a fall wardrobe. The fabric feels soft and has a high-quality, elegant feel. I absolutely loved this twinset.

I’m styling them with these Girfriend Kick Flare jeans. They do have an unfinished hem, but it doesn’t show in my photo. Cropped kick flare is a petite-friendly option for many women with a 26″ inseam in regular, and of course, the petite is even shorter with a 24″ inseam.

My tee seems to be sold out in this spruce shade, but they do have a 3/4 sleeve version here. The navy cropped suede jacket is buttery soft and feels incredibly luxurious. It’s a nice stretch fabric (again, not animal suede) that gives a luxe look and feel. It has a button front and patch pockets…which continue to be a huge trend on pants and jeans for fall.

These Girlfriend flare jeans fit beautifully and are available in petite, regular, and tall. This is a regular length that drapes a bit on my foot, but would be the length I prefer with a low-heeled bootie.

These are the Brigitte slim pull-on pant in deep spruce, which has a slightly narrower leg than the Juliet above. On the left is the Peplum Poplin Shirt, which is almost sold out. It’s a great figure-flattering shape, so hopefully they will make other shirts in the silhouette. On the right is a long Pocketed tunic. It has a high-low hem that dips down in the back to totally cover your backside. This dramatic piece would be fabulous over jeggings or leggings, and is also available in black.

This jersey knit tank has a square neckline and is color coordinated with the other pieces in the collection. This is a 95% cotton with 5% spandex, so it feels cooler than the microfiber and a bit heavier. It will layer beautifully under so many things or look polished on its own. It comes in 6 colors, and I’m wearing Smokey Taupe. The button front cardigan jacket is also in smokey taupe, which is one of my favorite neutrals they carry. It’s a soft rayon blend that’s machine washable and feels great against the skin. It also comes in a soft sage green.

These Emme straight leg ankle pants are great! It’s a new style for Chico’s, made from the “brigitte” fabric with a fly front with two buttons, belt loops if you want to add a belt, real pockets in the front, and faux welt pockets in the back. These come in 4 colors, and I’m wearing black. I predict these will be very popular going forward because they have a polished look, but are as comfy as can be.

After two very different shopping experiences, I came home reminded that style is personal. Some of these Chico’s pieces from the fall 2025 collection felt fresh and flattering, while others I left behind without a second thought. That’s the value of a try-on—you see what really works for your body and lifestyle instead of relying on what’s styled in the catalog.

If you’re curious about Chico’s new arrivals for fall (especially if you’re over 60 and want style that feels modern but wearable), I hope this gives you a clearer picture. Have you been into Chico’s lately? Did anything from their fall collection catch your eye?
