We’ve all coveted items from Aritzia. They’ve got a knack for crafting flattering silhouettes and rich, harmonious colour palettes. But if you’re looking to vary up your wardrobe (and maybe save a few bucks), here are 10 alternatives to Aritzia.
1. Zara
We have it on good authority that even Aritzia’s sales associates pick up a few fashion dupes at Zara. The big box retailer has some clothing items that are virtually identical to Aritzia’s, but at a price that won’t make your toes curl. Basically, anything that isn’t an investment piece (t-shirts, bodysuits, knitwear) can probably be duplicated for less at Zara.
2. Old Navy
Oh, please. Don’t act like you’re too good for Old Navy. There’s lots of trendy items to be found if you’re willing to dig. Just try on a pair of Rockstar jeans and tell us you aren’t a convert.
3. COS
Sister-store to H&M, COS is a retailer that offers beautifully tailored pieces that are built to last.
4. Durumi
Toronto boutique Durumi creates fashion essentials that mimic the retro-cool vibe of Aritzia. Here you’ll find linen jackets, knitted cardigans and faux leather leggings for prices on par with Aritzia. (They also have an online shop that offers international shipping.)
5. The Outnet
The Outnet is like Poshmark on steroids. Shop their clearance section to find bargain basement prices on street-style ready, ultra-trendy designer clothes from Acne Studios, Chloe and Ganni, to name a few.
6. RW&Co
For more affordable office-ready pieces, RW&Co is a great alternative to Artizia. The seasonal color palettes are very similar and you can find near-identical basics like long sleeve tees and leggings. There’s a great variety of silk blouses, fitted trousers, checkered blazers and sweater dresses to keep you looking cute by the coffee maker.
7. Honey
If “stylish but cozy” is your jam, Honey boutique is your go-to for sweaters and loungewear basics that look good enough to wear outside.
8. Frank and Oak
Eco-conscious fashion that turns heads? Sign us up. Like Aritzia, Frank and Oak creates tailored pieces that just seem to “go” together. If you’re building a capsule wardrobe, Frank and Oak is the place to go.
9. Oak + Fort
Big jackets. Big sweaters. Big pants. So cozy. So trendy. We want to dive into these Japanese-inspired minimalist designs and stay here.
10. Indigo
Wait, like the book store? Yes. If you love the warm, inviting vibe of Aritzia stores, you can recreate some of the coziness at home by shopping locally-produced artisan pieces at Indigo. Crystals, pewter and porcelain vases, and minimalist art are just a few of the treasures to be found at Indigo.
