New Colors for Winter Outfits
Happy Tuesday, ladies. Let’s look at my favorite new colors for winter outfits.
Before jumping full into celebrations, I want to be sure and acknowledge that winter began on Sunday and get us thinking about winter outfits.
It is a little difficult to plan winter outfits for us in Texas, because this week is going to be record-breaking warmth for this time of year.
However, winter will return…it always does.
So, let’s take a sharp turn from holiday sparkle to vibrant winter outfits.
NEW COLORS FOR WINTER OUTFITS: MY FAVORITE
I have already shared with you about how much I love this new color Chico’s called Teal Shadow.
It is such a lovely alternative to navy blue.
One of my favorite winter outfits is already what I am wearing today.
it is the TRAVELERS LONG KNIT JACKET in teal shadow and has pockets on the sides.
I am wearing it over the super soft ELLA V-NECK PULLOVER SWEATER
Since I do layer often, I am also considering purchasing the TRAVELERS CONVERTIBLE TANK in teal shadow.
Once again, I am wearing my favorite CHICO’S JEGGINGS in the Dark Rainier Indigo…I just love the fit of these for me.
Winter outfits often include scarves and I was thrilled to pull out this past purchase of an a.n.a. scarf from
The new colors were perfect! I found this scarf on markdown years ago, and have not worn it that much… but will now!
NEW COLORS FOR WINTER OUTFITS: STANDOUTS IN NEW ARRIVALS
Predictions are out for new colors for winter outfits in 2026 and whites will be big.
So, if white is one of your best colors…rejoice. The choices will be many.
One of the standouts in the Chico’s new arrivals for winter outfits is the SOUTACHE STITCH TOP in Ecru. And this easily will take us into warmer weather.
Another great option in ecru and with a touch of leopard is this casual option.
It is the PIMA JEWEL NECK CONTRAST TOP.
This is a top standout for winter outfits and it looks so great with denim.
A great design is this COLLARED DENIM TRIM CARDIGAN.
This is a fun top for winter outfits in the warmer climates.
I could see wearing this from now through spring…and depending on fabric weight…well into summer.
Make sure you look at the back of this ROPE STATUS NAUTICAL SHIRT…it is always fun to look our best coming and going!
NEW COLORS FOR WINTER OUTFITS: MORE TO COME
The new colors for winter outfits is just a tease for now…there will be many more to come.
And I will report back to you.
The brown, green, off white, and red in this tree will be my go to colors for awhile…and, of course, that teal shadow.
Santa Claus comes tomorrow.
I am about done with all of the wrapping, and I still stuff stockings for grandchildren….so much fun.
Mr. B helped wrap during football on Sunday…he was a great elf.
Thank you for joining me today amidst your busy time…there is more ahead…until then…
CHOOSE JOY & KEEP SMILING!!

For all your shopping, please use the links on my SHOPPING PAGE…thank you, thank you to all who shop this way and show support for this blog. It means the world.
You are looking joyful, calm, and slim in that beautiful teal outfit. It has just the right touch of brightness to give it a lift. I am meeting a friend for hot cocoa and a treat this morning. Strangely enough, I laid out a similar monotone outfit- marine navy NYDJ jeans, basic marine navy top, and a 10 year old teal cardigan with rhinestone buttons. Simple but somewhat seasonal. We could be teal-ish sisters! The monotone look for me always needs something to focus on. The rhinestones should do it, as did your scarf. Then I need to come home and bake. A friend just gave me a beautiful William Norris print apron. Happy Tuesday.
I would love to be teal-ish sisters with you, Deborah! I am off today to the Eye Surgery Center for an initial appointment about the cataracts and then will also return for cooking and waiting for my son and his family to arrive. I bet your apron is lovely! Enjoy your fun day!
A Merry Christmas to you and your family. Your outfit is so pretty with the teal and navy and I love the touch of the softer colors in the scarf.
I too love that teal. I think you should definitely consider the tank. A Chicos rep told me once the stylists think travelers is one collection that looks better together … travelers with travelers. I bought a set in black, including wide-legged pants, and it’s my cruise night formalwear. I did agree it looked elevated worn only with “itself.” That said, the teal is inherently more casual and I can see the matching tank and cardigan worn as you have here, but also dressed up with velvet or silky pants, which would give the cardigan versatility in your wardrobe. After a great couple of years, I haven’t been as excited recently about the Chicos collection, but the two new ecru tops could easily be in my closet, as they play to my interesting adjective. They do not, however, look ecru to me. They look stark white, which is terrible on me. I will have to make time to go look at it at some point, if I still need anything after the clearance and “birthday gift” sales that coincide for me in January.
Thanks Audrey! I was so pleased to see this darker teal in the scarf colors!
How fun to have birthday coupons when big sales are happening! If anyone lays eyes on the Ecru perhaps they will help us with the shade of white.
Merry Christmas, Pam. Thank you for showing up for us, year round.
Bless you Kim…thank you for being here!
Merry Christmas!
I love that teal shadow outfit on you and the scarf is just perfect with the teal. I agree teal shadow is a gorgeous color. I was drawn to it immediately and tried on several pieces at Chico’s. Sadly for me almost all of them are not petite friendly. I had high hopes for the “plush” blazer as my substitute for navy. Its only offered in their whole sizes and I’m in between. The smaller size felt too tight buttoned and the next size was just too large. I was so disappointed. I came home with a tee in that color and I’m hoping teal shadow is popular enough that Chico’s will continue to carry it. And that little Santa is just adorable. Glad to hear you are just about ready. I know you will enjoy your family party!
You look lovely in the teal outfit. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a blessed 2026.
That color looks very nice on you. I really like it and may have to order something in that color even though I’m a summer.
How fun that your family is starting to arrive. Enjoy!
And Merry Christmas and thank you for all you do. I really feel like you’re a friend to look forward to every morning.
Good luck at the eye doctor.
Hi Paula…I am so blessed by all of you. Have a wonderful Merry Christmas!
Hoping you get good news from the eye surgeon as an early Christmas gift! Our eyesight is priceless, and having yours corrected will give you a new window to the world. The teal outfit is so flattering, and looks amazing on you. I need to get more colors of the Ella v-neck sweater, which is an ideal weight for our climate. I got the leopard when you first featured it earlier this year, but never got a solid color. The teal shadow is just perfect, and I will hit the after holiday sales to see if it’s available. I know everyone is on the home stretch to the holiday, and want to wish Pam and everyone in the reader community a peaceful and joyous holiday with your families!
Merry Christmas to you and your family, Pam! Our Christmas plans have totally changed in a matter of three days….one dinner added and another cancelled just last night due to illness. After giving myself a day to be stressed about the added dinner, I remembered your voice telling us to choose joy and I went to the grocery store this morning with a smile on my face!
Merry Christmas!!
Bless you Cathy…I will explain later but I am faced with similar challenges!
I share your love of the teal shadow items from Chico’s and have purchased several pieces in this color. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas! Enjoy your time with your family.
It is a beautiful color! Merry Christmas, Maureen!
You look terrific in your teal shadow’s outfit. I love that color and do wear it. The ecru top looks white. I can’t wear ecru or any beige type colors but I can wear white and cool off whites. I waiting to see the new cool off whites. Have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!
