Ah, fall—the time of year when I literally wear the same outfit over and over again. While there are dozens of fall coats and bottoms I can be shopping as the temperature goes down, I rely on my timeless combo: simple, straight-leg denim and a khaki trench coat. While those two pieces may remain perpetually glued to my body throughout September, October, and November, I'm often changing out the tops and knits I wear with them. From chic denim button-downs to cozy cardigans, I'm in the mood to spice up my basics game this season, so naturally, I turned to Aritzia.
Since I didn't want to break the bank this season in between all the traveling and shopping I'm doing ahead of the holidays, I scoured the Canadian brand's site for hours to find the best under-$100 elevated basics and fall tops. Lo and behold, I've come up with 22 I can't peel my eyes away from. Browse my entire edit of affordable Aritzia fall items to shop below.
