34 Anti-Trend Items From Aritzia That Our Fashion Editors Reach for Time and Again

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 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
"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
"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
"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
"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
