I'll say it once and never again: if you haven't hopped on the Aritzia wave, what are you doing? As fashion editors, it's our job to scour the internet for the best, elegant-looking basics and timeless items that will prove to be outfit heros, time and time again. Our cheat sheet? Check Aritzia first.
The Canadian retailer is high-up on our list of essential stores to shop thanks to the brand's chic offerings, so, ahead of the warmer season, we've rounded up all of our favorites. Consider it a sweet treat, from us, to you. From the best-selling blazers to the linen pants one editor wore all summer straight, scroll (and shoo) all of the best editor-approved Aritzia pieces we wear 24/7.
The Effortless Pant
The Effortless Pant Linen
"The linen version of Aritzia's Effortless Pants and I are going strong on our third summer together. The cult-popular trousers just never fail me, whether I'm packing them for a warm-weather vacation to throw on over a swimsuit or wearing them with a buttoned shirt and belt for the office. Talk about versatile" —Anna LaPlaca, senior fashion editor
Babaton
Standout Blazer
"The Babaton Standout Blazer is a closet staple I will never part with. I still hold a soft spot in my heart for the oversized look, but lately, I've been loving the shape and tailoring of this more pinched-waist style." —Natalie Gray Herder, branded content fashion editor
Babaton
Pleated Satin Pant
"Buy these satin pants and thank me later. They’re secretly so comfortable and look effortlessly luxurious." —Emma Walsh, branded content associate beauty editor
Wilfred
Golightly Cardigan
"I've been searching for an easy cardigan that I can throw on with jeans or a skirt whenever I don't know what to wear, and truth be told, I think I found just the one at Aritzia when I was shooting a recent try on there. It's this really nice, lightweight but sculpted material that fits perfectly. I just wore it on a 6-hour travel day to St. Barth and it was perfect for the flight—warm but not too warm if you know what I mean." — Eliza Huber, senior fashion editor
Sweatfleece
Cozy Fleece New Boyfriend Lo Mid-Thigh Short
"I wear sweatshorts a lot while I'm working from home and Aritzia's are the best by a mile. They come in tons of different styles and lengths." —Allyson Payer, senior editor
The Effortless Pant
The Effortless Pant Lo-Rise
"As fellow colleague, Anna LaPlaca mentioned earlier, Artizia's effortless pants are a timeless wardrobe essential. Classic and elegant, I own them in three different iterations—the high-waisted original style, the linen pants, and the low-rise relaxed silhouette. I bought the latter in a chic light birch hue, and I always turn to them for events, meetings, and everything in between." —Judith Jones, senior market editor
Wilfred
Lodge Linen Pant
"I'm a big fan of Aritzia's linen pieces. They're so comfortable and just make every outfit look elegant, no matter how simple it is. (That's a combo I look for in everything I buy!) I've already worn them on a warm spring day and will be wearing them all summer long, just like I did last year. " —Yusra Siddiqui, associate fashion editor
The Group by Babaton
Luxe Cashmere Format Turtleneck
"Listen—I tried this sweater on in store, scolded myself about how it was too expensive, talked myself out of it since I'm on a budget, negotiated how I could rebudget my month to afford the sweater, tried it on again, left the store, returned a week later, did the whole routine again, left the store empty-handed, and then finally purchased the damn thing after my third in-store visit and try on a week later. And I. Regret. Nothing. This is quite literally the most expensive sweater I've purchased because I'm all about shopping on a budget and thrifting, but I can honestly say that I wore this sweater at least twice a week within the first two months of buying it and it still has me in a chokehold. It's elegant in cut and silhouette, cozy and soft in texture, quality in cashmere, and a shade that complements my complexion, making it a strong investment piece I'm excited to wear every cozy season." —Tiff Soga, managing editor
Contour
Contour Crew Shortsleeve Bodysuit
"I love bodysuits, and Aritzia's are elite. The fabric and fit is perfect. I've had this one for years and it still looks good as new." —Emma Walsh, branded content associate beauty editor
Babaton
The Slouch Coat
"I know this isn't really the time of year to be talking about outerwear but Aritzia's Slouch Coat is perfect and I wear it more than any coat in my closet."—Allyson Payer, senior editor
Wilfred
Generation Linen Blazer
"Aritzia makes some superb blazers. The silhouettes are versatile, classic, and fashion-forward. This one is seeing me through the spring in style." —Judith Jones, senior market editor
