I’m Using Aritzia’s Chic Selection to Build My Dream Winter Wardrobe

We have a running joke in our family where we call any chic, workplace-ready coat like this a "Big Girl Jacket." I've just outgrown my old one (which my mom bought for me when I graduated college), so this one is going to be the "Big Girl Jacket" I buy for myself.

I'm never not trying to incorporate some French girl style cues into my wardrobe, and this stripey sweater is perfect for taping into that vibe.

No, I don't actually own a black sweatshirt, if you can believe it. This one is my current fixation.

I don't really wear sweatpants (I prefer leggings), but I think I need a pair for winter since my apartment is always freezing.

Sad story time: I bought a pair of Effortless Pants years ago but got them hemmed, so now they're too short. It's time for a new pair (that I won't botch).

I've been thinking a lot about Joanne's style from Nobody Wants This, and this off-the-shoulder bodysuit feels like an easy way to emulate her perfect first date look from the show.

This might shock you, but I actually don't own a black slip skirt. This one is an immediate "add to cart" for me.

I'm really taking a step out of my comfort zone with this red sweater, but my dream winter wardrobe needs some color.

I have a few holiday parties coming up, and this dress would be perfect to wear to all of them. The foldover-style top is so chic.

I love, love, love sweater vests. They're so easy to layer now and wear on their own come spring.

I have this pair of AGOLDE Low Curve Jeans in a blue shade, and they're my favorite investment, hands-down. I wear them on a weekly basis (or as often as I can before they get stained). The denim is thick but so, so comfortable. I've also convinced several editors on my team to buy them.

If you see me in the office, I'm probably wearing a dress with a similar silhouette to this one. It's so versatile, so I'm thinking about buying it in this green shade.

I love how structured this sweater is from The Goup. It has enough visual interest to warrant investing in.

I always use massive sale times as a chance to replace or upgrade my basics—and this turtleneck from Wilfred is perfect for that. You can never have too many!

Bomber jackets are everywhere this year, so this one caught my eye.

I'm not normallly a scarf person, but this one (in this beautiful blue hue) caught my eye. Plus, it's wide enough to double as a blanket that could fight against my office air conditioning.

Cashmere socks are the perfect little luxury.

Lauren Tappan, Marie Claire's Fashion Editor, always wears these polo-style sweaters. After sitting by her for almost a year, I'm trying one out for myself.

I rely on oversized sweaters in the winter. I wear them with everything from leggings to a pair of trousers like the ones on this list. Since my favorite one is looking a little bent out of shape, this one is my replacement.

I'm petite, so most puffers overwhelm me—not the Shorty version of the brand's iconic Super Puff jacket. This green hue is my attempt at incorporating some color into my closet

I have a bigger chest, so going-out tops can be tricky to find. The structured Sculpt knit fabric on this backless top offers enough support so I don't have to wear a bra.

My dad was actually the one who showed me the power of a puffer vest—they're all he wears when he travels because they're just as warm as a puffer jacket but without the bulk.

I'm not normally a sweatpants girl (save for the new ones I'm investing in, above), but these cashmere pants caught my eye. These would make the perfect winter airport outfit when paired with the matching Cashmere Hoodie.

High-necked tank tops like this one are my secret to mastering fall and winter layering without overheating or adding bulk.

An oversized tote is the cornerstone of my capsule wardrobe. It's a good thing this one is made from extra-durable nylon, because it carries everything but the kitchen sink.

I've been on the hunt for a fitted cardigan, and the Golightly caught my eye. It comes in a few essential neutral colors and is a modern update to the classic style.

The true definition of an elevated basic, this crew neck tank is perfectly ruched for a sleek, look.

Dad jeans have become my go-to staple—the silhouette strikes a balance between slouchy and structured, and I love the true indigo-blue wash.

With my hair texture, some beanies are a no-go for me, but this cuffed beanie is made from super-fine merino wool and doesn't give me that bed head look.

A cozy, sumptuous sweater is all you need to get through the winter. This one features Aritzia's super soft Infiniti wool blend, and the quarter-zip detail keeps me bundled up while still looking chic.

An enveloping wool scarf is an undisputed necessity in the winter, and I love this one's unique color way and checkered pattern.

A plain T-shirt isn't so plain anymore with the right fit. That's why I love this ribbed crew: it's stretchy and snug, and the cap sleeves sit perfectly on the arms.

If you love cashmere scarves, you should fill out your collection with a pair of tech-friendly cashmere gloves.

Vest tops are my favorite way to look polished and put together with minimal effort.

I love sweatpants that don't give the vibe of sweatpants, and Aritzia has some of the best on the market. This one’s oversized fit makes these equally cozy for couch lounging and stylish enough to run errands.

When you need to stow away your winter accessories and copious amounts of lip balms, a slouchy shoulder bag is a must-have during the winter.

Need something simple for your family holiday gatherings? I'm going for this cashmere and cotton blend dress—it's a happy medium between comfortable and chic.

Another Big Girl Coat coming in hot—this structured pick is perfect if you love a more put-together look.

Fur coats are having a moment, and this faux fur gives the warmth and aesthetic of the real thing.

Leather gloves are so chic, and I love these from Babaton—especially the brown, red, and classic black shades.

This square neck blouse is a go-to piece for a dinner date in the city.

Going to the gym in the winter can be a struggle, but this chic jacket makes me want to do it more. For a Totally Spies-esque look, consider pairing this long-sleeve pick with a matching pair of leggings.

I love wearing a good pair of tailored pants at formal events, and this unexpected and elevated top would pair perfectly with them.

Style this with your favorite jacket that doesn't have a hood—it's warmer anyways!

I've been trying the office siren trend on for size, and I love the fit of these wool twill pants.
