Have you tried any of these affordable alternatives?
When it comes to practical basics and timeless pieces, Aritzia has it down pat. Even members of the Royal Family adore the brand and often sport the latest drops. But putting together a whole new outfit at Aritzia can set us back a few hundred bucks.
If you're super into sustainability and minimalism, there are other brands you can shop for in Canada that'll give Aritzia a run for its money.
Uniqlo
Details: If you love comfy loungewear in neutral tones, Uniqlo has tons of similar items at a fraction of the price. For instance, a knit cardigan goes for $59 rather than the $148 Aritzia version.
