Chico’s Fall Outfits Have Me Smiling — A Practical Look at New Pieces and How to Wear Them

Pamela Lutrell visited a Chico's store to try on and photograph recent September arrivals and to show how new pieces fit into her fall wardrobe. She connects items she already owns with new arrivals, focusing on color, texture, and wearable details she'll repeatedly reach for as temperatures cool.

The post highlights a new green called Serene Spruce. Pamela describes it as a rich, warm, bright green that works for women who wear spring palette colors. Specific items she mentions in this shade include the Chico's Pima Cotton 3/4 Sleeve Tee and a tunic she's already worn multiple times.

Other pieces Pamela features: the Chico's Tweed Long Sleeve Sweater Blazer in "mossy grove," a No-Iron Stretch Trapunto Stitch Tunic noted for its cuff sleeve treatment, and a Sequined Cape Sleeve Pullover that has sequins along the neckline. She calls out texture and thoughtful sleeve details as reasons these pieces feel current and versatile.

She tried other sweater options in different greens that would suit autumn tones but decided to stick with colors that flatter her spring palette. Examples: the Ella Jacquard Long Sleeve Cardigan and the Ella Zebra Jacquard Scoopneck Sweater Tank, described as comfy and cute.

Chico's animal-themed jewelry reappeared in the store. Pamela wears an older jaguar piece in the top photo and notes she kept her Chico's jewelry over time. She also flagged a new Jaguar Brooch she liked. These smaller accessories are presented as quick, easy ways to refresh or anchor outfits.

In-store experience and buying choices

Pamela enjoyed being back in a store to try on fall looks, though she joked her companion didn't give her as much time as she wanted. She emphasizes practical shopping decisions: buying a couple of jeans that fit better now, and using rewards coupons to keep costs reasonable. She also discloses the post was compensated by Chico's and says the words are her own.

• If you favor warmer spring-palette colors, look for Serene Spruce on Chico's tees and tunics as an accessible way to update fall outfits.
• Try textures and sleeve details (tweed blazers, trapunto stitching, cape sleeves) to make basic pieces appear more finished.

• Small accessories like brooches and animal jewelry can refresh older garments without overhauling a closet.
