To know me is to understand that my personal style is strongly rooted in minimalism. What can I say? I’m passionate about pared-down pieces that I can effortlessly wear on repeat. So, when I set out to elevate my winter capsule wardrobe for the chilly months ahead, I turned to Aritzia, my go-to shopping destination for streamlined essentials that are bound to sell out in a matter of weeks.
While scouring through the retailer’s site, I spotted a handful of seasonal must-haves that I can’t live without. A glimpse at my shopping cart reveals an elegant wool coat with a shawl collar, a Fair Isle sweater for any après-ski look, and a pair of sturdy jeans to anchor my casual cold-weather outfits. And the best part of all? Every single style that I found falls under $300.
