Chico’s Clothing Company began in 1983 as a quaint little boutique that sold Mexican folk art and sweaters in Florida. Since those days on Sanibel Islands, the brand has grown to include more than 600 nationwide boutiques as well as a monthly mail order catalog and a strong online presence.
For more than 25 years, this brand has been catering to women of all shapes and sizes. With wrinkle-free clothing collections, women can literally wash and wear nearly everything with the Chico name. Today, the company has more than 1,070 special stores located in 48 states in the United States as well as the US Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. Of these, 655 operate under the Chico’s brand, 344 under the White House Black Market name and 71 under Soma Intimates.
3 Reasons to Shop Chico’s Clothing!
- Comfort – At Chico’s, they focus on unique sizing for women that guarantees a perfect fit. Sizes begin at 0 and run to a size 3. These sizes are actually comparable to women’s standard sizes of 4/6, 8/10, and so on. The difference is placed on the versatility. You can choose a larger size if you are more comfortable with room to move or a smaller size if you just want that perfectly body-hugging fit. And, if you cannot find the size that you need, you just have to ask a customer service rep and they will gladly help.
- Associates – The store associates are all experts in style and fashion. When you visit a Chico’s Boutique, they can help you to choose the perfect wardrobe including formal, casual and business attire as well as accessories. They also offer style tips and help you to choose items that will best match your individual look and body type.
- Unique – Absolutely everything that you see in a Chico’s store is completely unique to the brand. All their clothing and accessories are exclusive to Chico’s so there are no worries of running into ten different women all wearing the same outfit as you. You will likely not find one woman who is wearing the same outfit. The prices are not on the low end of the budget spectrum, but for the quality and the assurance that you are wearing an exclusive piece, the prices are well worth what you pay.
