If there's one thing about fashion editors that you should know, it's that we love to shop at Aritzia. The Canadian retailer has been a fan favorite of both the internet and our editors for years now thanks to its chic, well-priced basics and arsenal of timeless, elegant pieces that fit seamlessly into our wardrobes. More than likely, if you catch one of our editors on the hunt for high-quality basics, you'll find us combing through the site's thousands of offerings.

Now that the warm weather has finally settled in and I've done my spring-cleaning for the year, I'm itching to add some versatile, well-made basics into my wardrobe without breaking the bank. Thanks to Aritzia's chic in-house lines—such as Babaton, Contour, and Wilfred—some of the most expensive-looking pieces I'm adding to my cart are coming in well under the $100 price tag. Below, I've rounded up the best under-$100 Aritzia basics you can shop now along with a few higher-priced investment pieces from the brand you won't want to miss.

The viral halter-style top is back in stock. Run, don't walk.

It's so good in white too.

This pistachio green is so good.

Hello, chic.

Did someone say beach vacation?

This entire 'fit is *chef's kiss.*

This one too!

I predict pleated shorts will be everywhere this spring and summer as an elegant, elevated alt to jean shorts.

No joke, I own this bodysuit in four different colors.

This longer tube top feels so chic.

I'm on the journey to find the perfect white tee, and this one checks all of my boxes.

You can't go wrong with the wash on this pair.

Olive is the new black.

Perfect for dressing up (or down)!

Everyone needs a slinky, no-frills maxi slip skirt in their closet.

I'm running to get this one before it sells out ahead of the warmer weather to come.

A (slightly) little black dress.

There's something so chic about an off-the-shoulder top.

Instead of a traditional black or white tube top, go for a muted color to make your piece feel a bit more mature and elevated.

Miu Miu–esque.

This editor can't say no to pleated shorts.

This bodysuit is one of the brand's best sellers, and I can see why. It's so versatile.

One word: yessssss.

This one is so easy.

Another fan-favorite bodysuit.

Aren't you glad you kept scrolling?

Our Who What Wear editors convinced me to add this tube top to my cart.

If you're going to buy one thing at Aritzia, let it be one of the brand's iconic blazers.

Jaw-dropping.

These look so rich.

This dress is practically begging to be taken on vacation.

Another stealth-wealth find I love.

This list wouldn't be complete without a pretty, lightweight coat.

No notes.

I'll leave you with this timeless buy.
