The plural form of chic, referring to multiple stylish or fashionable people or things; or a verb form meaning to make stylish.
French 'chic' borrowed into English, pluralized with '-s.' Originally French slang, it became English through fashion and society writing in the 19th century.
Interestingly, 'chic' is almost never pluralized as 'chics' in modern usage—we say 'stylish people' instead—showing how borrowed French words can feel grammatically awkward when we try to inflect them English-style.
