Our mission is to serve the 50+ traveler. We want to inspire you to explore new destinations, discover new experiences, and savor the journey.

A capsule wardrobe is made up of simple foundational pieces that serve as your style stalwarts. When putting together our capsule collection from Chico’s, we chose pieces that could easily be dressed up or down. Below, you’ll find our selection of clothing and accessories that look cute but are also super comfortable.

We incorporated versatile options that go well together so you can mix and match. Some are staples that will replace older everyday go-to’s while others are fun pieces that will be welcome new additions to your rotation. These beautiful pieces work just as well for traveling as they do for staying local.

We chose Chico’s as our capsule wardrobe purveyor for its timeless looks that will last season after season. Plus, we love their inclusive sizing options! Scroll down to start building your own capsule wardrobe from our amigos at Chico’s followed by some ways to wear these fashion finds.

A black dress is a cornerstone piece of your wardrobe capsule collection. Available in regular and petite sizes, Chico’s Ponte Sleeveless Maxi Dress has a classic, timeless silhouette that won’t go out of style. Its slinky material is machine washable and won’t wrinkle easily. It is medium-weight, so it can be worn with bare shoulders or a scarf in warmer weather, or throw on a jacket when it is cool out. Dress it up with statement jewelry and a gold chain belt, or keep it casual. This basic piece offers all sorts of options!

Another key piece for your capsule wardrobe is the button-up shirt. Wear it unbuttoned with a tank underneath, or button it up with slacks for a dressier look. Neutral colors like white work well with just about everything. Made from a stretchy cotton-blend fabric, Chico’s No Iron stretch shirt is a customer favorite. Stay comfy while your shirt stays crisp. This 3/4-length sleeve works for any season.

Chico’s Microfiber Tank is available in 12 colors. It makes for a great base layer when it’s cool out, or looks great on its own when it’s warm outside.

Capsule wardrobes are meant to be pretty basic, but you’ve gotta throw in a fun graphic tee — especially when it’s as cute as Chico’s Crane Tunic. Made of breathable, lightweight fabric, this short sleeve scoop neck tunic is long enough to cover your bum so you can wear it with leggings.

Speaking of t-shirts, a plain v-neck like Chico’s High Wide V-Neck Tee is a simple yet necessary basic to have in your capsule wardrobe. This one comes in seven colors so you can get it in a neutral color or something more fun.

Sweater weather calls for a soft, comfy, and warm layer like Chico’s Rib Cuff Crewneck Pullover Sweater. This camel color is super versatile, but the flattering closet staple also comes in seven other colors.

Speaking of cooler weather, a great piece of outerwear like Chico’s Elongated Ponte Jacket is essential. Made of thick, double-knit ponte fabric, it is just the right weight for chilly fall days. Plus, it doesn’t wrinkle easily! Available in regular and petite, this elongated jacket features front buttons and front and chest pockets that give it a more casual look.

Look effortlessly cool and stylish in Chico’s Faux Leather Moto Jacket. Faux leather means no animals were harmed in the making of this jacket, but it also means it doesn’t cost as much as genuine leather. We love that it has two front zippers, front zipper pockets, and zip cuffs without looking like its covered in zippers. Pair it with a tee and jeans to channel your inner Easy Rider.

Denim is an important component of any capsule wardrobe. Available in regular and petite, Chico’s  wide-leg style Trouser Jeans are m ade from denim stretch fabric. With flare and style, these are a great pair of “dressy” jeans that are easy to dress up with a button-up and/or blazer.

Jeans that go with anything are another must for your capsule wardrobe. Chico’s So Slimming® Girlfriend Jeans have a  clean, classic cut. What is “so slimming” about them? They feature a front panel made of slightly stretchy fabric that smoothes and shapes.

Breathable and soft, Chico’s Zenergy® So Slimming® leggings are made of pima cotton-blend fabric with spandex for stretch. One of Chico’s best-selling styles, these ankle-length leggings feature side pockets and So Slimming® Hidden Fit technology, that slims, shapes, and smoothes the tummy for a flattering fit. A basic black pair of leggings is an essential part of any capsule wardrobe.

For days when you have to wear “real pants,” Chico’s Tailored Trousers offer sophisticated style in a neutral color with a flex waistband to boot. M ade from a cotton-blend stretch fabric composed of cotton, nylon, and spandex, these machine-washable pants are a comfortable alternative to classic trousers. Offering a classic fit, these trousers have a fly front closure, real front pockets, and faux back pockets. They are available in both regular and tall sizes.

Get cozy in Chico’s Zenergy® Soft Essentials Hooded Pullover. Made from slightly stretchy material, this long sleeve pullover with a drawstring hood is a key loungewear piece for your capsule wardrobe. Pair it with the Zenergy Soft Essentials Straight Leg Pants below for a comfy machine-washable outfit you won’t want to take off.

What wardrobe is complete without a pair of comfy pants to lounge around in? Chico’s Zenergy Soft Essentials Straight Leg Pants are super soft sweatpants that are made from cozy material with a little stretch. They are stylish enough that you could even run an errand in them! 

Chico’s Drop Cluster Post Earrings are a timeless, versatile addition to your capsule wardrobe. Pearl-like beads adorn gold-tone chain-linked hoops on this elegant yet lightweight pair of earrings that are handcrafted with nickel-free metal.

Another must-have is at least one pair of statement earrings. Chico’s versatile and stylish Black Leather Tiered Drop Earrings fit the bill. These three-tiered earrings are handcrafted with genuine leather and nickel-free iron and brass. Wear them with a maxi dress or jeans and a cute top.

No capsule wardrobe is complete without a belt! Chico’s Gold Tone Chain Link Belt goes with a lot of outfits but never goes out of style. Wear it with everything from trousers to jeans to dresses to add a touch of glam to any style.

Get this — Chico’s Color Block Snake Print Satchel is black on one side and a neutral camel color on the other to go with just about everything! Well-made and functional yet beautiful, this color block and snakeskin print satchel makes for the perfect accessory for any occasion. It features an inside zipper pocket, a removable crossbody strap, and magnetic closure. You’ll be so glad you bought it!

A scarf is a necessary accessory to have in your capsule wardrobe to help keep you warm and add a little pizzaz to your outfit. Chico’s Mixed Print Oblong Scarf has both black and brown in it, so it is quite versatile. Pair it with the Ponte Sleeveless Maxi Dress and a denim jacket.

Capsule wardrobes should have at least two pairs of shoes. For a dressier shoe that isn’t a heel, try Chico’s Leopard Print Haircalf Flats. These animal print flats dress up any outfit and pair perfectly with bold red lipstick.

When the occasion calls for heels, Chico’s Black Leather Slides pick up the phone. Black is a great neutral color to go with the rest of your capsule wardrobe, while the block heel provides a nice update to your shoe choices. Not only do these soft leather sandals offer sophisticated style, but they also offer premium comfort. These gorgeous, high-quality slide-ons are lined with soft, padded breathable fabric and are cushioned with a memory foam footbed for all-day comfort. 

How cool are these Studded Leather Flats? Chico’s studded suede flats feature a chain detail and one-inch wedge heel. Other features include soft padded breathable synthetic lining, memory foam padding, and a flexible slip-resistant outsole.
