Women’s Tops FAQs

What styles of women’s tops does Chico’s offer?

Chico's carries a wide-range of women's tops, from everyday tees and tanks to elegant blouses, easy tunics, and crisp button-downs. For the office, No-Iron button-ups keep you polished from your morning commute through your last meeting. Casual days call for simple tees, sleeveless tanks, or a relaxed tunic you can wear with jeans. When it's time to dress up, look at blouses with fluid draping, elevated fabrics, and eye-catching prints.

Round out your wardrobe with pullover sweaters, ruanas, and ponchos for easy layering, or pair any of these pieces with your go-to denim, skirts, and slacks to give your closet a refresh.

What necklines and sleeve styles are available for Chico’s women’s tops?

Chico's tops come in a variety of necklines, including classic V-neck and scoop neck, square neck, mock neck, split neck, and boat neck styles. Sleeve lengths run just as wide, from sleeveless and cap sleeve to elbow-length, three-quarter, and long sleeve options.

If you like a bit of drama, look for balloon or angel sleeves on blouses and tunics, or opt for a sleeveless top you can layer under a blazer. On warmer days, consider short-sleeve tees for endless versatility.

What materials and fabrics are women’s tops made of?

Women’s tops are made from a variety of fabrics designed for quality, comfort, and lasting style. Common materials include cotton, linen, Tencel, and blended fabrics.

Our collection of essential tops pairs quality materials with thoughtful construction, because the right fabric is often what turns a top into a go-to piece in your closet. Pima cotton offers a breathable, soft feel that's ideal for all-day wear, while our Zenergy® tops use a soft fabric blend for elevated leisurewear. On busy, active days, Touch of Cool™ lightweight fabric stays cool to the touch for a refreshing feel. Ready-to-wear No Iron™ fabric finishes the lineup with a wrinkle-free look that makes getting dressed effortless.

How should I care for my Chico’s tops and blouses?

From sweaters to tees and tanks, it’s essential to check the label on each top for its specific care instructions, as we use a wide variety of fabrics to provide style and maximum comfort.

For example, fabric from the Travelers™ collection is wrinkle-resistant and durable. It’s designed to be machine-washed in cold water and tumble-dried on low. Linen and Pima cotton pieces are best hand-washed in lukewarm water or washed on a gentle cycle with cold water. Air-dry tops to prevent wear out.

How do I choose the right top for my body shape?

The right fit starts at the shoulder. A top's shoulder seam should sit right at the edge of your shoulder, not sliding down your arm or bunching up at your neck.

If you carry more weight through your midsection, a relaxed tunic or an A-line blouse skims past the waist instead of clinging to it. Fuller busts often look best in wrap styles or V-necks, which create a lengthening line, while a boxier frame benefits from a fitted button-down that defines the waist.

What are the latest trends in women's tops?

Square necklines are one of the season's standout details, offering a clean update on the classic crew and V-neck. Textured fabrics, like crinkle finishes and subtle jacquard prints, add depth to solid colors without needing a bold pattern. Popover tunics with relaxed, no-fuss silhouettes and side slits are also having a moment, especially in wrinkle-resistant fabrics you can wear straight through a busy week.
