Neutrals With Nuance | New From Madewell

Fall fashion is all about rich textures, deeper tones, and pieces that make layering easy. Madewell’s latest collection of new arrivals is full of those effortless staples that blend comfort and polish, so they’re perfect for easing into the new season. Whether you’re refreshing your wardrobe or just adding in a few key updates, here are a few pieces worth checking out next time you’re in the store.

If you love pieces that do the work for you, the Zip-Front Flutter-Sleeve Midi Dress is an easy win. The soft print and fluttery sleeves give it a romantic feel, while the zip-front detail keeps it modern and practical. It’s a dress that transitions seamlessly from brunch to date night, or even layered under a light jacket for cooler days.

Pair it with the Sculpted Metal Wristlet Bag (a standout accessory that adds a pop of richness), and the Remy Mary Jane Flat. The mix of textures and tones brings warmth to the look without overcomplicating it. Altogether, it’s the kind of outfit that feels put-together yet completely effortless. Add in a lightweight wool coat or denim jacket for an extra layer when it’s cool.

For something a bit more casual, Madewell’s Short Puff-Sleeve Cardigan is a cozy essential that adds just the right amount of detail. The slightly puffed sleeve gives a subtle nod to vintage style while still feeling current. Try it with the Vintage Flare Jean in rinse wash; the structured denim gives this silhouette that timeless, flattering shape Madewell is known for.

To finish the look, the Dimes Chelsea Boot adds a polished, everyday touch, and the Dakota Saddle Bag ties it all together with that effortlessly cool, lived-in vibe.

Whether you lean toward feminine florals or laid-back layers, Madewell’s latest lineup has something for every style. These pieces are versatile, well-made, and meant to be worn on repeat—exactly what Fall dressing should be.

Fall Style Guide | Corduroy Pants at Anthropologie

Blog

Fall fashion is all about texture, warmth, and pieces that can carry you through the season in style. One fabric that always makes a comeback this time of year? Corduroy. Soft, structured, and endlessly versatile, corduroy pants are the perfect foundation for your autumn wardrobe. Anthropologie’s new pre-fall arrivals showcase this classic fabric in fresh silhouettes and rich colors, making it easy to create looks that feel both on-trend and timeless.

If you’re looking to add a new pair to your wardrobe, here are two ways to style them this season.

Whimsical & Dressy

For those days when you want your outfit to feel polished yet playful, start with the Izzie Relaxed Pull-On Barrel Pants in a stunning burgundy hue. The modern barrel-leg shape feels fashion-forward, while the deep color makes them perfect for autumn evenings.

Pair them with the Layla Long-Sleeve Appliqué Mesh Blouse, a top that adds just the right touch of whimsy with its dreamy appliqué details layered over airy mesh. The contrast of soft textures against rich corduroy makes this pairing perfect for dinner plans, seasonal celebrations, or simply dressing up your day. Add platforms or heeled booties and a structured bag, and you’ve got a look that’s effortlessly chic.

Classic with a Twist

If your Fall style leans more classic but you like a bit of fun in your wardrobe, try the Rylan High-Rise Flare Jeans in a warm rust shade. Flares are a timeless cut, and this pair offers just the right mix of vintage-inspired and modern style. To balance the sleek silhouette, try them with the Niki Bubble Sweatshirt.

At first glance, it’s casual and cozy, but the bubble sleeves and playful duck motif add a dose of personality. Complete the outfit with suede boots, loafers or sneakers for an easy weekend-ready look that’s both comfortable and stylish.

Whether you’re dressing up for a night out or keeping things casual, Anthropologie’s pre-Fall collection has something for every mood and moment. Corduroy pants are the season’s must-have piece, and with silhouettes ranging from flared to barrel-leg, there’s a style for everyone.

Pre-Fall Must-Haves from Chico’s

Blog

As summer gives way to cooler days, it’s time to start thinking about transitional pieces that will help bridge the gap between seasons. Pre-Fall is all about layering, experimenting with textures, and building a wardrobe that feels both fresh and versatile. Chico’s new arrivals capture that spirit beautifully, with standout fabrics like suede, leather, chiffon, and tweed that bring depth and interest to your closet while staying effortlessly wearable.

Here are some of our favorite pieces to help you step into Fall in style.

If you love the ease of one-and-done dressing, Chico’s new pre-fall dresses are a perfect place to start. The Cheetah-Print Godet Dress adds instant personality with its bold print and flattering movement, making it ideal for workdays or evenings out.

For something a bit more streamlined, the Faux Suede Shirtdress is a chic option that balances softness with structure. Pair it with heels now and layer with tights and ankle boots later in the season for a look that transitions seamlessly.

Chico’s ponte pants are a customer favorite, and the Juliet Slim Full-Length Ponte Pants in cream are a must-have neutral for Fall. We styled them with the Embroidered Cotton-Blend Jacket, which adds a fun pop of color and texture to this polished look.

The result is an outfit that feels refined but still comfortable enough for everyday wear (and both pieces can be styled with so many other things in your closet).

Denim is always a Fall staple, and the Girlfriend Cropped Wide-Leg Jean is a fresh take that’s both relaxed and flattering. To soften the look, we styled them with the Floral Georgette Peasant Blouse, a breezy top that balances the denim perfectly.

Wear them alone or layer on the Faux Leather Blazer to tie it all together; the mix of textures creates a stylish contrast that feels modern and elevated.

From suede and leather to chiffon and denim, Chico’s pre-fall collection embraces the textures that define the season. Whether you’re dressing for work, weekends, or special occasions, these pieces will carry you through the changing weather with ease. Stop by to shop these new arrivals and start building a fall wardrobe you’ll love.

Color Crush | New Arrivals from Chico’s

Blog

If you’re craving color and easy-breezy style, Chico’s latest arrivals have you covered. Think bold prints, flirty details, and Summer-ready silhouettes that make getting dressed feel fun again.

Here’s a peek at some of their newest pieces and a few tips on how to style them.

Short-Sleeve Crochet Top +Floral High-Rise Wide-Leg Cropped Jeans
The mix of texture and pattern gives off effortless vacation vibes (even if you’re just headed to brunch). We styled it with heels, but you can style it with espadrilles or slide sandals and a straw tote for a more Summery look.

Rio Sunset Maxi Dress
This maxi dress a head-turner in every sense. With its colorful blend of warm tones, it’s perfect for sunset dinners, Summer weddings, or even a beachside date. Just add strappy heels or flat sandals and let the dress do the talking.

Floral Ruffle-Sleeved Midi Dress
You’ll live in this dress all season. I love the movement of the ruffles and how easy it is to dress up or down. Throw on a denim jacket and sneakers for day, or dress it up with wedges and statement earrings at night.

Floral Embroidered Cotton Peasant Blouse + Denim Trouser Shorts
These pieces are sunny-day staples and perfect for a weekend outfit that’s casual but cute. Add gold hoops and a low bun for that “I just threw this on” look (even though it’s giving intentional).

These colorful, fun pieces make Summer style simple, and anything but boring.

When you find pieces that you truly love, it makes getting dressed so much easier. Stop by Chico’s and let their style team help you shop!

The April Edit | Madewell’s New Arrivals

Blog

Madewell recently dropped their April collection, and it’s everything Spring style dreams are made of: easy, breezy, and bold in all the right ways. Think low-slung baggy denim, linen dresses that catch the breeze, and striped everything from dresses to jeans. It’s giving effortless cool with a touch of nostalgic charm.

Other standout pieces? Crocheted sweaters that feel both vintage and fresh, and statement tops with playful, unexpected sleeves. The color to watch this season: Bright Flame. This vibrant red-orange hue is bold but surprisingly wearable for so many skin tones, so it adds an instant mood boost to any outfit.

Madewell’s April drop is a sweet mix of comfort and statement and perfect for slow mornings, spring dates, or spontaneous weekends. Here’s a peek at some of the new arrivals plus a few styling tips to help you work these pieces into your closet.

Pair it down: Try the baggy denim with a fitted tank or a tucked-in tee for balance. Add a structured blazer or cropped jacket to keep the silhouette chic, not sloppy.
Layer up: Throw a crochet sweater over a slip dress or layer it with denim and sandals for a casual, cool vibe.

Bright Flame moment: Make a statement with a dress in this color (it’s the perfect one-and-done piece). Keep it simple with neutral sandals and minimal jewelry, or layer on a denim jacket for an easy day-to-night look.

Retro stripes: Lean into the vintage vibes by styling striped jeans or a striped maxi dress with chunky sandals and oversized sunglasses. Add a woven bag to complete the retro-modern mix.
Mix the textures: Pair the linen and crochet with your everyday staples like leather sandals, denim jackets, or sneakers to keep the look grounded.

Whether you’re already a fan or just Madewell-curious, this collection makes it easy to refresh your wardrobe with pieces you’ll love all season long.

Spring layering is key. A cropped denim jacket, lightweight cardigan, or oversized button-down shirt adds dimension and keeps you comfortable throughout the day.

Easy Styling Tips

Stick to Neutrals: Whites, beiges, and pastels create an easy, cohesive wardrobe.
Mix Textures: Pair structured denim with flowy fabrics for balance.

Sweet + Playful Styles at Anthropologie

Blog

Anthropologie will forever be a go-to destination for when you’re in need of whimsical, playful pieces, and their latest collection of new arrivals also has a touch of sweetness to it. Spring doesn’t officially arrive until March 20th, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get a jumpstart and dip our toes into some of the upcoming trends.

Here’s a peek at some of the stylish new arrivals at Anthropologie that were made for Spring!

Fruit motifs are popping up everywhere from home decor to clothing and accessories, and honestly, there’s nothing cuter (or more of a conversation starter) than a strawberry patterned dress! Pair with retro-spired sunnies and a “juicy” tomato beaded clutch for a look that’s sweet yet chic.

The Somerset Mini Dress

The Fiona Beaded Bag: Food & Drink Edition

I-SEA Marley Polarized Sunglasses

Sporty Spice is a trend that will never go out of style. Everyone owns a few athleisure pieces in their wardrobe, but the key to elevating the styles is through materials, patterns, and the silhouette. Pickleball attire is all the rage right now, but why not do a more fashion-forward version of it? These patterned trousers and puff-sleeve blouse won’t work on the court, lol, but they’re perfect for after game cocktails with friends.

Maeve Half-Zip Puff-Sleeve Sporty Henley Blouse +V-Neck Short-Sleeve Tee

Maeve Packable Tennis-Print Pull-On Track Pants

The Hollace Tote: Woven Mini Edition + Charm Bracelet
