If you’re ready to add a little sparkle and sophistication to your holiday wardrobe, you’re in the right place. In today’s post, I’m sharing a few of my favorite holiday arrivals from Chico’s — timeless pieces that blend comfort, polish, and just the right amount of festive charm.

Whether you’re hosting at home or heading out for a festive evening, these Chico’s favorites make it easy to celebrate the season beautifully — and confidently.
Velvet & Metallics: Where Effortless Meets Elegant
Nothing says “holiday chic” quite like velvet. It’s timeless, flattering, and has that luxurious feel we all crave this time of year. Chico’s has introduced stunning velvet pieces in deep, sophisticated hues — think sapphire, ruby, and amethyst. A velvet blazer instantly elevates your outfit, while a velvet top adds richness to even the simplest pair of jeans.
And let’s not forget metallics. From shimmer-thread knits to silver tweed jackets, these pieces add that celebratory sparkle we all love. The key is to let one element shine — pair a metallic blouse with black pants or a sleek skirt for an effortlessly festive look.
💡 Beth’s Style Tip: Balance is everything. When you wear something with sheen — like metallics or velvet — keep accessories simple. A pair of gold hoops or classic pumps is all you need.
The Finishing Touch: Sparkle, Shine & Statement Style
When it comes to making an entrance, accessories are your best friend. Chico’s jewelry collection this season is pure joy — bold cuffs, dramatic earrings, layered necklaces, and eye-catching brooches. Each piece feels special, yet completely wearable.
If you love a classic outfit (as I do), statement jewelry is a wonderful way to bring your personality into the mix. A gold statement necklace transforms a turtleneck. A crystal earring catches the light beautifully at evening events. And a brooch on a blazer or wrap adds that perfect festive touch.
💡 Beth’s Style Tip: Think of your jewelry as the finishing note of your outfit. It’s not about excess — it’s about expression.

Cozy Luxe Layers: Comfort with a Chic Twist
The holidays aren’t just about parties — they’re also about cozy mornings, travel days, and evenings spent by the fire. That’s where Chico’s cozy luxe layers come in. These ponchos, dusters, and wraps are designed for both comfort and chic versatility.
This season, look for soft neutrals and winter whites accented with rich hues like garnet and red. A draped poncho over slim pants creates instant polish. A belted duster adds structure without sacrificing comfort. These pieces also travel beautifully — perfect for layering when you’re on the go.
💡 Beth’s Style Tip: Layer with intention. When wearing looser silhouettes, keep the base fitted — it creates balance and elongates your frame.
Modern Classics: Effortless Layers with Timeless Appeal
There’s a reason we call them classics — they never go out of style. This look from Chico’s is a beautiful example of how timeless pieces can feel fresh, festive, and modern, all at once. I started with the No Iron Slimming Imperial Stripe Tunic, a statement on its own with bold lines and a silky drape that flatters every figure. It pairs beautifully with Faux Suede Juliet Slim Ankle Pants, which add subtle texture and warmth, the perfect base for fall and beyond.
To tie it all together, I added the Denim Field Jacket. It’s structured yet soft, giving that polished-but-relaxed feel we love. The deep indigo plays beautifully against the warm neutrals, creating a look that’s equal parts chic and approachable. And because no outfit is complete without a little shine, I finished the look with the Gold Pearl Long Single-Strand Necklace and Black & Gold Quilted Clip-On Earrings.
This is the kind of outfit that works from day to dinner — timeless, flattering, and effortless. It’s modern classic dressing at its best, with every detail designed for comfort and confidence.

💡 Beth’s Style Tip: Create a cohesive mini wardrobe with 5–6 interchangeable pieces in similar tones. It simplifies dressing and ensures every outfit feels intentional.

From cozy evenings at home to elegant nights out, these new arrivals offer something for every moment of the season. And when you step into something that feels good and looks even better, that’s when the real magic happens.
Frequently Asked Questions
Holiday Arrivals at Chico’s
Q: When does Chico’s usually release its holiday arrivals?
If you’re like me and start thinking about holiday outfits as soon as the leaves change, you’ll be happy to know Chico’s rolls out their holiday arrivals in late October. You’ll see even more pieces added throughout November and into December — so it’s worth checking back for new styles all season long.
Q: Can I wear these pieces after the holidays?
Absolutely! One of the things I love about Chico’s is how versatile their collections are. Velvet, metallics, and rich jewel tones transition beautifully into January and February — they’re not just for the holidays. Style them with denim, neutral knits, or classic black to make them work well into winter.
Q: What are some of Chico’s signature holiday items?
Every year, I find myself reaching for a few favorites: a beautifully cut velvet blazer, statement jewelry, and one of their cozy wraps. Those pieces never go out of style and instantly make any outfit feel festive and pulled together.
Q: How do Chico’s sizes run?
Chico’s uses their own sizing system — 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and so on — which corresponds roughly to standard sizes (0 = 4/6, 1 = 8/10, 2 = 12/14, etc.). Personally, I find that their clothes fit true to size, with fabrics that have a little give where you need it. You can always double-check with their Size Chart before ordering.
Q: Where can I find these holiday arrivals?
You can shop the full Chico’s Holiday Collection online at chicos.com or pop into your nearest boutique if you prefer to see the fabrics and colors in person. I always recommend visiting in-store if you can — it’s a great way to discover styling inspiration and see how the pieces mix and match.
Q: What’s the best way to accessorize Chico’s holiday looks?
The holidays are the perfect excuse to have a little fun with accessories. If your outfit already has shimmer or texture — like velvet or metallic fabric — I’d go with classic pieces: a simple gold hoop, a pearl strand, or a chic clutch. But if your outfit is more neutral, that’s your cue to add sparkle! Think Chico’s statement necklaces, crystal drop earrings, or a metallic wrap. Accessories are the easiest way to make any outfit feel festive, without starting from scratch.
