Loafers, a longtime Ivy League prep staple, are breaking free from the classroom. G.H.Bass has teamed up with Aritzia to design styles worthy of year-round wear. Consider this your sign to ditch 2026's sandal trends in favor of the anti-flip-flop.

If, like me, you avoid showing your toes like it's your job, the Aritzia x G.H. Bass collaboration's two styles will be well worth their under-$200 price tag. Dubbed the Milton and the Spence, they draw on G.H.Bass's 150 years of experience in footwear and Aritizia's knack for designing on-trend yet wearable pieces. The result? Timeless details, modern touches, and an elevated alternative to finish off your slate of summer outfits.

The former features a square-toe silhouette, softly ruched details, and a co-branded coin cleanly slotted into a band across its toe cap. The latter takes those same design details and imbues them with a feminine touch, courtesy of a softly rounded toe. Both styles come in soft leather fabrications in shades like black, mocha brown, and cream. The Spence will also be available in suede and will come in two additional colors: a mid-toned brown and a lighter camel.

Aritzia is known for its clothing and accessories, like the viral Effortless Pants that remain in my weekly rotation. But the brand has been expanding its footwear offerings over the last few years through instantly-sold-out collaborations. In 2025, Aritzia tapped Nike to co-design a pair of brown, retro-feeling sneakers that were nearly impossible to find in stock after they first hit the site.

Aritzia has also previously partnered with Sperry to reimagine the boat shoe for a new era of It girls. Similar to the new G.H.Bass collaboration, the classically preppy silhouette was released in both leather and suede. These were shoes made less for wearing out to sea and more for the streets of NYC—and beyond. They, too, sold out soon after they dropped.

History tends to repeat itself, so one thing is clear: The Aritzia x G.H. Bass collaboration is worth shopping before it sells out. And don't just store these loafers away until the fall weather comes back around—both pairs are certifiably made for summer.

Is it just me, or is winter fashion starting to feel repetitive, especially in the workwear department? I've been wearing the same outfit formula to the office for what feels like an eternity, and I'm ready to switch things up. Of course, Aritzia is the first retailer that comes to mind for chic work finds.

From elevated basics to standout jackets, Aritzia has a way of making corporate-friendly fashion feel interesting. I could style something as simple as trousers and a white T-shirt, and it would still ooze a cool, It-girl vibe. That's why I put together an entire workwear wardrobe, complete with winter must-haves like sweaters and easy layers, and Aritzia's Pre-Spring 2026 collection, with under-$200 finds.

Ahead, dive into my curated Aritzia workwear edit, which won't break your budget. With the polished finds below, you can mix and match for a thousand different office outfits—the styling possibilities are nearly endless.

Shuffling through my current winter wardrobe has me feeling like I'm stuck working a late-night shift at my high school service job: bored. But unlike my seventeen year-old self, I have the resources to quite—or, rather, break up with those pieces and find something new.

My usual mindless scrolls end up on the Aritzia homepage. The most recent one ended in surprise, though, when I saw the brand dropped its first Pre-Spring Collection. I was immediately drawn in: Warmer weather might be far off—a winter superstorm has left New York City blanketed in several inches of snow—but I'm shopping like it's sixty-five degrees and sunny. Luckily, I can start incorporating many of these pieces into my rotation now, to kick me out of my mid-season wardrobe funk.

Navy, a sudden favorite color of mine, is everywhere, as are lighter shades of camel and off-white that will brighten up my usual all-black selection. Whether you wear them to the office or in your day-to-day, these new-in Aritzia picks deserve a spot in your closet.

Winter has a way of flattening even the most imaginative dresser. By mid-January, creativity freezes over, and suddenly everyone is wearing the same uniform: a serviceable warm sweater, familiar jeans, and sensible boots. There isn’t anything wrong with that, but it’s...unimaginative. And it can also make winter feel sadder and drearier than it needs to be; winter is long, cold, and relentless, yes, but it’s also the season that really rewards intention. If summer is about ease, winter is about craft.

So, let's get crafty and make Winter 2026 fun—starting with knitwear. Keep scrolling to discover my favorite sweater styling tips that help make my cold-weather outfits feel inspired, fresh, and full of energy.

While the urge to pile on every warm thing in your closet is a relatable one—and still a possible option—do it in a way that provides contrast and tension. For instance, start with a turtleneck, winter’s underrated hero, and layer it over the crisp white shirt you thought was retired until spring. Throw on a gorgeous pendant necklace, and you’ve created a luxe look that is winter-appropriate and quietly chic.

Or, what about your solid grey cashmere crewneck sweater? It’s lovely alone, but under a slightly different-toned grey cashmere polo-neck sweater creates more interest while doubling the warmth. The neckline stacks just so, and the sleeves peek out with purpose.

Winter is also the time to play with varying textures. Silks with thick wool plaid; sea grass with lucite; zebra stripes with florals—mixing textures is a balancing act of hard and soft, modern and antique, light reflection and absorption. And it’s in the unexpected combos that we find more delight—think about a chunky knit slung over a beaded dress; the sweater's weight grounds the shine, making the sparkle feel wearable and effortless.

And of course, a red sweater—whether tied around your waist, double layered like a sweater set, wrapped around your neck, or even your coat—provides that pop of red that every It girl swears by. In other seasons, it might be a red bag, a red shoe, or just red nail polish, but winter allows for a bolder and bigger display. Even the most color-averse dresser can join in on the fun with a rich ruby crewneck or fire-engine cardigan.

Lastly, don’t forget that while scarves usually do the job of keeping our necks warm and bundled up, sweaters are just as adept—and often offer more color and texture options. At midday, you can also knot that same scarf-sweater around your waist or tie it around your bag, both of which are nice options for when you're bundled up for 10-degree weather but in a store with the heat blazing.

My message to you is this: winter doesn’t have to be endured. When you stop dressing for survival and start dressing with intention, the cold becomes the backdrop, not the problem. Happy wintering!

I am positive that I’m not the first person to tell you that leopard print is a neutral—the kind of graphic that goes with nothing and therefore goes with everything. But maybe you’ll look at these leopard print jeans from Abercrombie and think, eh, those won’t go with much. I did! They’re undeniably specific.

Once I started working them into my wardrobe, though, I found they were the versatile pant I’d been missing. They worked everywhere, from a Saturday afternoon movie to Wednesday night happy hour. They have those “desk-to-date-night” vibes magazines used to tell us about in the aughts.

Ahead, here’s how I style them to make them perfect for every occasion.

Chill Weekend Vibes

I love a print with a graphic tee; something about the combo feels magical to me. I’ve done this exact look with a sneaker if I’m out running around all day, but I’ll go for a ballet flat if I want a little more polish.

Work Meetings

I own this Modern Citizen cardigan in several colors because it instantly pulls a look together. And waist-defining knitwear is a comfortable alternative to a blazer for sitting on Zooms all day.

A Night Out

Perhaps you’ve heard that the Going Out Top is back? That’s the vibe here: something fun with special detailing up top, a platform sandal, and you’re good to go.

If I played my cards right the previous 12 months, I don’t necessarily need to start my year with a major closet cleanout. That said, I do make a point to take stock of what’s working, what doesn’t feel like me anymore, and what ended up being more of a microtrend blip than a solid investment. As a fashion editor, I love trying out new looks, but I’ve honed my taste over the years to have a pretty good idea of what’s actually worth the closet space.

For 2026, I ended up tossing a few short-sighted misses, but I’m proud to say a lot of what I loved last year not only still excites me, but will grow to become even more essential. A lot of these trends are still climbing towards their peak, and I’m glad to have some pieces already here at my disposal.

So, what made the cut? In terms of color palette, neutrals that go beyond classic black will be heavily prioritized in the year to come. And don’t worry if you really leaned into butter yellow—for now, you’re totally safe. Matching sets have also proven to be a great investment, as have silk and satin separates that make everyday garb feel fancy in a flash. Plus, I’m betting that two trends that started picking up speed as 2025 wrapped will be everywhere in 2026: track pants styled outside the gym and ridiculously big tote bags. Comfy! Practical! Don’t mind if I do.

Below, a few snaps of what survived my January closet cleanout—plus the trends I’m bringing with me into 2026 (and are worth trying for yourself).

Butter Yellow

While a bevy of new color trends are rolling in for 2026 (remind me to talk more about light blue soon, OK?), I’m happy to report that butter yellow won’t be leaving us anytime soon. In fact, with spring just around the corner, it’s about to be as prevalent as ever.

Alo’s Candlelight colorway might just be the most gorgeous shade of yellow I’ve seen to date. Lately, I’ve been layering this cashmere crewneck with a coordinating cardigan around the shoulders for some monochrome goodness.

Non-Black Neutrals

In 2025, I found myself eager to push beyond the comfort zone that an all-black look too easily provided. A simple switch from basic black to chocolatey browns and charcoal grays did wonders for my everyday wardrobe. Throw in some interesting taupes and olives, and, suddenly, neutrals felt as exciting as the rainbow.

Here, I’m wearing an all-bown look featuring this awesome faux jacket from H&M and these brown Abercrombie jeans that haven’t left my legs since I got them—absolutely zero notes.

Matching Sets

Some of my best investments over the last year or so have been co-ords with major mix-and-match-ability. I love wearing a full set together, but the option to break it up and still like the pieces separately is what really guarantees they’ll stand the test of time in your wardrobe.

This grey jacket and trouser combo from Le Bop (ShopBop’s stellar in-house brand I only recently discovered, BTW) has been on repeat. It also plays into my love for non-black neutrals, of course.

Big Totes

I’ve recently been relying hard on my biggest, slouchiest tote bags. Compared to some previous handbag trends, this one is extremely practical, and the commuter in me absolutely loves it.

Speaking of my commute—I can’t tell you how many people have stopped to ask me about the bag I’m wearing above. It’s the Kite Hobo Maxi from Strathberry, and in addition to fitting a ton, it looks like it should cost at least triple what it actually does. The brand’s quality is exceptional.

Silks and Satins

First, it was the bias-cut satin skirt obsession of the late 2010s. Then, we moved on to the satin pant in the early 2020s. In ‘26, silks and satins are still reigning supreme as the best fabrics to elevate simple silhouettes for nights out and otherwise dressy occasions.

Luckily, I’ve been stocking up for a while, although this lacy cami and matching pant combo in navy are a newer addition from Loft that I can’t get enough of. And as a callback to my matching set praise earlier, let me point out that these look great styled separately as well. The satin pants with a cozy navy sweater up top for daytime? Chef’s kiss.

Track Pants

In 2026, I’m really leaning into an ABJ—“Anything But Jeans”—lifestyle. I mean it when I say my ‘fits hit the hardest when I’m not relying on denim.

My go-to at the moment are trackies, perhaps because I have the Winslow pants from Tibi in its iconic crispy nylon material in multiple colors. They have such a unique, slightly exaggerated silhouette that elevates them from mere track pants to a total fashion moment. Here, I styled them with a faux-layered sweater to show how great they look when you explore styling beyond an activewear approach.

I have a confession to make: I think I hate my jeans. After years of accumulating a rotation of must-have denim, I'm feeling a little bored. My signature jeans-sweater-boots outfit formula can only take me so far. So, in 2026, I'm breaking up with denim and exploring what else the world of "fun pants" has to offer.

Turns out there are a lot of non-denim bottom options I haven't yet explored. Take, for instance, track pants: They're the backbone of my airport outfits, and now I feel confident enough to wear them off the plane, too. It Girls are also proving cargo pants, and capris—two styles that have been relegated to the back of my closet since the early aughts—are worth a second glance this winter.

My closet is about to get way more diverse in 2026. Keep scrolling for all the winter pants options I'm eyeing.

Track Pants

The sporty fashion renaissance has continued with quarter-zips, fleece jackets, track jackets, and now, track pants. They're comfortable, casual, and feel '90s-inspired without going overboard.

Leather Pants

Leather pants are basically denim's cooler older sister. They're a night-out staple, but I believe they can (and should!) be worn in the daytime. You can dress them down with a button-down or a tee, or go full leather-on-leather with a matching moto jacket.

Cargo Pants

Late last year, a late-night scrolling session landed me on a pair of olive green cargo balloon pants. I bought them on impulse, and haven't worn them since—but I've recently come around to the idea of these cargo pants being an essential part of my winter wardrobe. After seeing enough styling inspiration, I pulled them out of my closet for outfit testing. Whether I personally end up including them as a must-have in the future is yet to be determined, but one thing is true: Cargos are cool again.

Skirt Trousers

Hear me out: Start styling your skirts over your pants again. No, it won't end up looking like you're on the red carpet for the Hannah Montana premiere in 2006. If you don't want to mix-and-match your perfect combination, brands like Simonett and Helsa both offer chic sets for one-and-done styling.

Soft Trousers

If, in the not-too-distant future, you find yourself yearning for a pair of pants that look like trousers and feel like sweats, remember to thank me. I bought the Gale Pants from Reformation over the holiday break, and have worn them nearly every day since. My collection is on the verge of tripling.

Capri Pants

I hate being wrong, but I'm big enough to admit I was incorrect about the longevity of last summer's capri pants trend. They've bubbled up onto my newsfeed again courtesy of Bella Hadid's recent street style, and I feel like they'll be everywhere on the streets of Copenhagen Fashion Week. Get ahead of their return and shop one of the options I have my eye on.

I think I may be allergic to wearing color. I blame my New York City upbringing for this—as well as my parents, who wore the chicest all-black outfits when I was growing up. After years of fighting it, I have simply decided to embrace it in my 30s. And thank goodness, because I now get to scroll through my favorite retailers' and brands' websites for hours, pulling together my favorite finds guilt-free. It's a task I take very seriously: My monochromatic shopping list for winter 2026 has taken me weeks to build. But I'm finally ready to share.

Right now, I'm looking to replace pieces I've worn to death (like my favorite Longchamp laptop bag and black jeans from Agolde), as well as sprinkle in newness from Zara, H&M, Nordstrom, and more. Keep scrolling for the all-black fashion picks on the market worth checking out right now, straight from the brain of a shopping editor who has spent pretty much her whole life crafting the perfect all-black wardrobe.

The beginning of a new year always feels like a reset. It’s when so many of us recommit to ourselves, our routines, our goals, and our health. For me, movement is non-negotiable: I’ve been working out religiously for the past 11 years—ever since a year after I had my son—and it has completely shaped how I start my day. I’ve become a “wake up at 5:30 a.m. for a 6 a.m. class” kind of person. (I’m a Tracy Anderson fanatic. I love how the workout makes me feel afterwards. It gives me focus, clarity, and an endorphin high like nothing else.) That hour in the morning is mine: no phone, just movement, sweat, and music. I’m a firm believer that small, consistent efforts lead to better outcomes, whatever your goals may be.

Because I work out five to seven days a week, I focus on comfortable pieces that allow for movement, especially in the heated classrooms I often work out in. Nothing tight, restrictive, or uncomfortable. Over the past decade, I’ve landed on a handful of accessible, mass-fashion brands that I always come back to for the best workout outfits because they deliver on quality, fit, and look. Below, I’m breaking down my core exercise uniform, my tried and true activewear go-tos.

Aritzia’s "Butter" Leggings and Tops

Aritzia has been a long-time favorite retailer of mine. I live in its leggings and workout tops, especially anything in its "Butter" collection from its Golden activewear line. The material is incredibly soft, supportive, and flexible, perfect for high-movement workouts like Tracy Anderson Method.

What really sets it apart for me is the color palette: The navies, taupes, deep greens, and burgundies feel elevated and chic, and in spring, the muted pastels are beautiful. These pieces get a lot of wear (and washes), and they truly hold up.

Amazon Leggings

I discovered these through an influencer, and honestly didn’t expect much, but I was pleasantly surprised. These leggings are incredibly soft, sometimes even softer than higher-priced options. Are they as long-lasting as Aritzia’s? No, but for $32, they’re amazing and of impressive quality.They’re perfect if you want comfortable, affordable staples in rotation.

Gap Sweatshirts

Gap is one of my go-to destinations for athleisure layers. Its boxy cropped sweatshirts are a staple in my closet: I own them in navy, butter yellow, chocolate brown, and more. (They come in 20 different colorways!) My daughter is constantly borrowing them. The fit is effortless, and the price point is sharp. These are the pieces I throw on before and after workouts to feel polished. For me, it’s always about the mix of quality, fit, fabric, and colorway—and Gap delivers on all four.

Uniqlo Sweatpants

Uniqlo is unbeatable when it comes to comfort and function, especially for the colder months. Its sweatpants are warm without feeling bulky, and the HeatTech technology is a game-changer when you’re heading out early in the morning.

Uniqlo Puffers

Uniqlo puffers are a true winter essential for me. When I’m leaving the house before sunrise for a workout, I need something that keeps me genuinely warm, and these coats do exactly that. They’re lightweight, insulating, and easy to layer, making them my go-to outerwear for early morning workouts.

Getting dressed in the winter gets old really fast. By the time January rolls around, I'm ready to reevaluate my closet. I don't need to replace the basics—my T-shirt and turtleneck rotation stays well-stocked—but I'm gravitating towards upgrading basically every other category.

I keep returning to Aritzia on my late-night scrolls, and its newest collection is a big reason why. The selection strikes that tricky balance of pieces I can wear to the office and on my days off. Any of these cashmere knits can be layered over a tank for Monday-to-Friday styling, then just as easily be styled over a bralette come Saturday night. Then, there are the non-denim trousers that look chic with loafers, sneakers, or booties.

If you, like me, are in the mood for a refresh (or are just bored with what you own—it happens!), I found 24 pieces that will expand the possibilities of what's already in your closet and make it that much easier to craft a winning winter look. Bonus: Some of my picks are on sale.

If you’re anything like me, getting dressed is the most chaotic and anarchic time of the day. I rarely ever plan anything until 20 minutes before having to head out the door, which means I’m always running late (and out of breath) to plans. I recently thought to myself, 'Why can’t I be someone who plans out all of their outfits?' Or better yet: 'Why can’t I be someone with a Steve Jobs-esque uniform? Wouldn’t that make my life a hell of a lot easier?'

Although I don’t think I’ll be sporting a black turtleneck and light-wash jeans any time soon, after examining the nonsensical way I get dressed (turning my closet into a battleground), I decided to challenge myself with one week of outfit planning. That meant laying out outfits on my rug on Sunday, capturing everything on my iPhone to reference throughout the week, and documenting everything I learned along the way.

Did outfit planning really help me in my daily life? The short answer is yes—I found myself waking up excited to dig into my arsenal of homemade, pre-prepped looks. I had something ready for any occasion that popped up last minute because I made sure to have some dressier options alongside the more casual outfits. By being amply prepared, I saved myself at least one big emotional outburst, fueled by a perpetual feeling of dissatisfaction in my own wardrobe.

But the most important part was that I didn’t sacrifice the fun and creative outlet that is getting dressed. I was able to lock in and really concentrate on playing with my clothes, while doing my future self a favor.

Read on to learn the full results of my experiment

Have a Fail-Safe Outfit Recipe

While I find myself romanticizing the idea of a uniform, I just can’t operate with that type of discipline. A lot of my self-expression stems from how I look, so I love having the option to dress according to my moods. However, I do think that having a loose outfit recipe to fall back on is an amazing way to avoid disaster.

You'll see that the majority of the looks I planned involved three basic ingredients: a midi skirt, boots, and some sort of cute top or jacket. Throughout the years, I’ve realized that this is what makes me feel most comfortable. I like a statement skirt that covers most of my legs (I can always layer leggings underneath) and a pair of leather boots.

I repeated this formula four times this week, with some flexibility on the footwear (a pair of black Mary Jane flats also came into play). Trust me when I say a go-to outfit recipe will save you from at least a dozen mental breakdowns when you’re already running late with nothing to wear.

You’re Overthinking It!

I fall victim to thinking that a plain top can't possibly be interesting enough, or that a really flattering pair of jeans can’t make a statement. But sometimes, the most basic basics can come together to make a really cool, cohesive outfit.

Take this perfect white long-sleeve from J.Crew that I layer under absolutely everything. It fits really well (and that’s more important than anything else), and I like to wear it under a light V-neck sweater that's slightly more cropped, like this one from Aritzia, which creates visual contrast. I paired it with a pair of vintage jeans that make me look snatched without fail, and voilà! An outfit I didn’t need to toil over magically became a look that I re-wore twice!

When in Doubt, Go Monochrome

I'm as far from a traditional minimalist as you can imagine. I love color, pattern, and over-the-top accessorizing. However, I will hand it to my minimalist friends; monochrome can be a fun and easy way to look put-together in a pinch.

When I was planning all of these looks in my bathrobe on a lazy Sunday, I had a eureka moment: Why don’t I ever wear different shades of grey, pink, or blue together? I’m always complaining that fabrics never match between brands or even collections. But maybe that’s the point.

I wore this dark grey Caspar the Label double-breasted top with my light grey Sandy Liang overlay trousers, and have never felt more chic. I also matched my beloved Prada Bonnie in pink with my cool-toned peony Shop Peche heels.

So, if you have ever felt the same way as I did, try this challenge and let me know what you think. We are all on this learning journey together.

If motherhood has taught me anything, it’s that intel is everything. And when you’re a mom to a daughter in her early 20s, that intel becomes its own form of cultural currency. I don’t just get the scoop from her; I get it from her friends, from the high school girls orbiting the house on weekends, from the group chats and borrowed sweatshirts that mysteriously never return. I have become an undercover operative in the shifting landscape of what’s “cool” to the generations below.

Staying attuned to what gifts Gen Z (and the emerging Gen Alpha crew) actually want isn’t about chasing youth. It’s about remaining curious, which also helps you to gift smarter. It’s about saving the family from that familiar Christmas-morning tragedy: the moment you proudly present a gift you thought was effortlessly chic, only to be met with a politely forced smile, a muttered “Thanks…,” and the unmistakable look of a daughter realizing her mother is, in fact, out of the loop.

Not this year. I’ve got you.

Armed with my personal pipeline to the under-25 set, I’m sharing the gifts that will secure your status as a mother of exquisite taste—the woman whose presents are opened first, admired longest, and proudly displayed on a TikTok story without being asked. (You know it’s good when it makes a video or Instagram story.)

Think of this as your seasonal cheat-sheet to cultural relevance, curated by someone who has done the fieldwork for you. From accessories to beauty staples, wardrobe upgrades to the tiny luxuries that make them feel seen, these are the gifts that will ensure your daughters hold you in the high regard they absolutely should—because there is nothing cooler than a mother who knows what’s next, even before her daughter does.

Aritzia has perfected the art of subtle sophistication through its impeccable tailoring, long-lasting quality, and nuanced, elevated details. That's why I'm here to tell you that after Cyber Monday, it should be at the very top of your shopping list—the sale ends at midnight on Tuesday, December 2.

Now is the perfect time to tap into new workwear essentials, snag a new on-sale coat, try a cashmere sweater or scarf in a trendy hue, test-run the viral Aritzia x Sperry collaboration, or take advantage of practically any other fashionable deal worth shopping. The discounts will continue until the end of the day, after which they won't be available for another 365 days.

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.

Dozens of sneaker collaborations cross Marie Claire editors' desks any given week. But when associate social media editor Ashlyn Delaney dropped the Aritzia x Nike sneaker collaboration into the team's fashion Slack ahead of its October 29 release, every style expert on the team knew they were seeing something special and shop-worthy.

Within a second of their arrival in the Marie Claire group chat, the Aritzia x Nike sneaker collaboration had several people typing (and dropping heart-eye emojis) at once. First impression? This reimagining of the Nike LD-1000 'Edition A' sneaker could be styled in distinctly un-sneaker like ways. In other words, it has the potential to replace every other ballet flat, loafer, and mule in an everyday lineup. Today, it's finally available for anyone to shop.

The $165 Aritzia x Nike sneaker has all the DNA of a 2025 It shoe. Its rounded toe and sleek, slipper-like silhouette channel the ballet sneaker trend that's remained center stage all year. It's crafted from a delicious chocolate brown suede—which every style insider wants second servings of this season. Two tiny charms dangle from the laces, in a subtle nod to the tricked-out personalization dotting accessories from cosmetic cases to Jane Birkin-esque bags. And then there's the switch-up of the Nike logo: shrunken down and daintily relocated to the toe, in another ballerina-approved move.

Naturally, this pair has all the ingredients to resonate with fashion experts who are ready to lace up an It sneaker—like Marie Claire fashion features editor Emma Childs. "I missed out on Wales Bonner x Adidas (couldn’t find a Samba in my size) and the Miu Miu and New Balance’s collab (couldn’t find $1,200 to spare). But I refuse to sit on the sidelines for Aritzia and Nike’s team-up," she says.

In this case, the appeal is in the styling potential. "I can already imagine them with a pop-of-color ankle socks, my favorite pleated midi skirt, and a trench."

The more photos Aritzia and Nike shared of their sneaker link-up, the more unexpected fall outfit formulas they generated. Pairs stacked neutral faux fur coats and sweatsuits feel fit for Hailey Bieber or Kendall Jenner en route to Pilates in Los Angeles, but they'll translate just as neatly to New York City It girls on an errand run. Layered with a midi skirt and fleece jacket, the sneakers channel the Scandi-chic practicality of a typical Copenhagen Fashion Week attendee; added to a slouchy, oversize gray suit, they bring a jolt of Parisian energy even a ballet flat can't compete with. Another look teams the sneakers with a cubicle-friendly gray pencil skirt and a slouchy coat fit for a winter morning commute. Of course, any company's resident fashion expert would wear these sneakers all day instead of changing into desk heels—they're that elevated (and comfortable, with their padded insoles).

The shape is ultimately what convinced Ashlyn Delaney, the first Marie Claire editor to spot the collab, to join the wait-list. "I’m obsessed with how sleek the silhouette is, and I’m usually not an Air Max girl," she explains, "so this is one drop I refuse to miss."

This isn't the first time Aritzia has stopped fashion editors in their tracks with a surprise shoe collaboration. Back-to-back reimaginings of Sperry boat shoes—in several leather finishes and tweaked silhouettes—immediately sold out, twice. No wonder Marie Claire editors are already counting down until their pairs arrive.

You'll have to wait a few more days for a complete review of the Aritzia x Nike sneaker collaboration. (Pairs are en route to the Marie Claire office at press time.) But judging by first impressions, this sneaker is coming for all the outfits editors could possibly style.

The Aritzia x Nike sneaker collaboration is available on the Aritzia app now. It arrives in stores October 30.

Sabrina Carpenter's five sold-out Short n' Sweet concerts at Madison Square Garden come with a slew of perks. Connecting with fans and celebrity "Juno" girls while she's onstage is just the start. In between performances, Carpenter gets to cosplay as a New Yorker in a romantic comedy: the girl next door by day, a chart-topping pop star by night. On October 28, she dressed every bit the part in Prospect Park.

Her flirty corsets and sky-high stilettos had the morning off for her trip to Brooklyn. Instead, she curated her fall outfit around an oversize black coat. Fans immediately ID'd it as the Aritzia Babaton's Slouch coat, which she debuted at Taylor Swift's birthday party in Dec. 2023. It looked good as new alongside a plaid scarf in beige, black, and gray. Checked scarves made waves on Burberry, Jawara Alleyne, and Maison Mihara Yasuhiro's Fall 2025 runways, after all.

Carpenter's light-wash jeans could've been straight off Meg Ryan's When Harry Met Sally costume rack. She went with a baggy, wide-leg pair, with extra-long hems. Blink and you'll miss her square-toe boots, featuring brown, worn-in leather.

The cherry on top of Carpenter's main character look? A four-figure designer bag. She carried Celine's Small 16 style in the sold-out burgundy shade. The atelier offers the $4,550 bag in over five variations, but nowadays, Carpenter's is only available on secondhand sites. Fashionphile, for one, has been her favorite source for rare vintage finds. On Oct. 14, she paired a yellow Double-Flap Bag from Chanel with an off-the-shoulder sweater dress.

Between her Short n' Sweet tour, her Saturday Night Live gig, and Man's Best Friend promo, it's been a minute since Carpenter dressed down in public. A recent Instagram post, however, confirmed Carpenter's Brooklyn set is actually her foolproof formula.

To celebrate her studio album's August release, Carpenter shared sneak peeks from the recording process. She wore jeans, a wool pea coat, and a patterned scarf almost every day. One photo with friends captured Carpenter in a gray jacket, a leopard-print Cider scarf, and light-wash jeans. A few swipes later, the "Espresso" singer re-wore the $20 staple, except with a baby pink coat.

Turns out, Carpenter isn't just copying a rom-com's main character. She is one in real life. The A-lister channels Meg Ryan Fall in and out of the public eye, meaning there's plenty of outfit inspiration to go around. Perhaps if we applaud her looks enough, she'll actually consider returning to acting.

Shop Fall Styles Inspired by Sabrina Carpenter

I may be well past my back-to-school era, but August always signals a fresh start in my mind. And while my new-season wardrobe doesn’t include backpacks and notebooks, it does include basics of a new kind—the type that will take me effortlessly through the fall and into winter. Aritzia’s new collection, with its subtly preppy flair, has everything I need to do just that.

The new drop, now available on the brand's website, includes nearly every transitional style essential on my list. Fitted cropped cardigans sit next to the perfect fall jackets and coats. Trendy dark-wash denim is complemented by suede boat shoes and chunky sneakers from New Balance, Nike, and Salomon. Trench coats are also featured, with a chic It girl-approved silhouette. Plus, there are sportier options like a fuzzy quarter-zip sweatshirt, ideal for creating a transitional look using your track shorts or pants.

If you’re ready to dive headfirst into fall fashion, keep reading. Ahead, you’ll find a carefully curated selection of expert-approved finds. And yes, I would consider myself an Aritzia expert after shopping there for many years.

I hate to admit this as an editor who curates clothing for a living, but putting together a summer office outfit can be a struggle. When the weather is sweltering, and all I want to wear is a breezy dress, I have to put my thinking cap on to come up with an HR-approved look. Thankfully, I can always turn to Aritzia for fresh professional staples.

The retailer has consistently been a go-to of mine whenever I'm in need of new office outfits. What's more, Aritzia finds don't break my budget, especially now that its Warm-Up Sale is in full swing. From now through June 22, Aritzia is offering 30 to 50 percent off hundreds of items, just in time to update your favorite workwear.

If you, too, struggle with getting dressed for your 9-5, I took the pleasure of scrolling through Aritzia's rare sale and found the best summer workwear items below. There are affordable basics like T-shirts and trousers, plus finds that tap into the summer's biggest fashion trends like capri pants and olive green. The best part? Every item on this list rings in at under $100, but don't wait to fill your cart—these sale items are going fast.

Getting dressed in the sweltering heat is the bane of my existence. My trick for tackling the season is to rely on easy, one-and-done summer dresses to create a healthy rotation of cute outfits. Now that hot sunny days are the norm, I could use a refresh of my dress collection, but I won't be breaking my budget to do so.

Instead of racking up my credit card on a designer style, I'll be turning to tried-and-true affordable retailers, including Aritzia, Cos, and Mango, for wallet-friendly summer dresses. Between the three brands, I've built a long wishlist of dresses in summer's top color trends, prints, and silhouettes that work for every upcoming event I have on my calendar. Better yet, the rich-looking dresses below are budget-friendly with a price tag of $150 and under.

Ahead, find my favorite summer dresses from Aritzia, Cos, and Mango for your shopping pleasure. From rooftop hangs and al-fresco happy hours to summer weddings and weekend brunch, I've got your outfit for any warm-weather occasion covered.

Here’s a secret from a shopping editor: I don’t always know what to wear to the office, especially in the summer. Warm-weather pieces don’t always equate to being HR-approved (think: floaty barely-there summer dresses and sheer textures), but there’s always one retailer I can turn to when I need new office-ready fare: Aritzia.

The retailer’s new collection is chock-full of picks you can use to create the perfect summer work outfits. To prove it, I spent my morning scrolling through the selection and put together a few looks that are so easy that you can copy them before the end of the week.

I'm talking about simple summer looks composed of affordable basics that could probably use a refresh, such as a crisp white button-down shirt and a work-ready pair of trousers.

I also found outfits that tap into spring's most prominent fashion trends, like Hailey Bieber-approved capri pants and preppy polo shirts, but with a twist that's totally all-hands-meeting-approved. Keep scrolling for all the cute outfit inspiration courtesy of busy It-girls in New York and London. Just be prepared to be the best-dressed one on your team.

Chilly Trend Upgrade

If you're stuck with a rainy early summer day or facing chilly air conditioning, don't fret. An oversized blazer is the perfect piece to pair with capri pants and a tank top, keeping you warm and on trend. The capris serve as a much-needed replacement for the wool trousers you wore in winter, while the blazer maintains their professional look.

Business Prep

Polo tees become stylish for the office when paired with a pencil skirt and kitten heels. The lower heel height is crucial for staying comfortable throughout the day, while the collared shirt contributes a touch of polish.

Clean, Long Lines

Longline tailored vests are my favorite in-office staple. Wearing a black vest with a white midi or maxi skirt unlocks a classic, editor-approved outfit formula.

Upgraded Basics

You will never beat a white button-down and a pair of wide-leg trousers when it comes to an effortless office outfit. This duo is the backbone of all my favorite looks.

Denim-on-Denim

Denim-on-denim outfits are the Western-inspired combination you can wear to the office—no cowboy boots required. Plus, styles like these are suitable for early spring or fall.

Chic All-White

All-white outfits are made perfect for the office with a pair of high-waisted trousers and a perfectly cropped blazer. You could also achieve a similar look by choosing white jeans and an opaque white T-shirt. However, avoid this formula if you're prone to messes.

Summer Knits

Don't pack all your sweaters away in storage. A chic sweater vest serves as the perfect in-office choice when paired with a floaty cotton maxi skirt. Additionally, a classic summer knit like this one can be worn in all seasons, not just early summer.

Sporty Chic

Contrary to popular belief, trendy track pants can be appropriate for the office. Pairing them with a blazer adds polish. Additionally, opting for a white jacket makes this slightly heavier piece suitable for the warmer season.

It’s easy to observe fashionable girls at a New York Fashion Week event and think that their style boils down to how they styled the season’s biggest trends. In-demand pieces are great, but true New York fashion girls understand that under-$100 basics are the way to go when building a timeless look, and you don’t need to look any further than Aritzia’s new-in selection to find the best options.

Aritzia has mastered the basics category. Its lineup consists of staples like linen pants, oversized button-downs, white T-shirts, and versatile tank tops. With every new collection, the Canadian label provides its shoppers with fresh iterations to complete their wardrobe rotation. However, more products mean more digging to find the best picks. So, I took on the hard part for you and curated a chic, easy summer capsule wardrobe at Aritzia that you can rely on for perfect work outfits or vacation-ready looks.

Keep scrolling to shop my editor-approved picks. I own some items from this list, while others instantly earned a spot in my online shopping cart. And yes, nothing on this list costs more than $100.

Believe it or not, balmy days are officially on the horizon. To get ahead of sizzling temperatures, I’ve turned to Aritzia’s newest collection for airy summer essentials that are bound to keep me nice and cool. And while perusing the site, I discovered that the beloved brand has everything I could possibly need for my elevated warm-weather capsule wardrobe.

Peppered with styles like gauzy button-down shirts, lightweight linen pants, and floaty maxi dresses, Aritzia’s fresh assortment is filled with the classics. Timeless pieces aside, the retailer also has a handful of the season’s latest trends. Scroll through their lineup and you’ll find boho-chic blouses cut from ruffled fabric, retro cropped bottoms that embrace fashion’s capri pants craze, and whimsical frocks stitched with bubbled hemlines.

Ahead, I’ve put together a curated list of 25 must-haves from Aritzia’s newest pre-summer collection. Whether you need a summer work outfit for days in the office or an upgraded travel wardrobe for your next coastal getaway, look no further.

Here's a secret: workwear is cool again. Just look at the rise of Corporate-core as one of Milan Fashion Week's biggest street-style fashion trends. Show attendees swapped their boldest and brightest ensembles for subdued, versatile staples. If you want to follow suit, allow Aritzia’s new collection to help you curate a chic spring in-office wardrobe.

The brand's latest drop, which includes a campaign starring supermodel Alex Consani as the perfect office siren, contains more than just the usual HR-approved fare. The essentials are there—like neutral-hued blazers, and plenty of skirt-suit-ready separates—but I also found a few pieces that will transition well into summer, like linen dresses, trousers, and airy button-downs.

Keep scrolling to shop all of my hand-selected picks. And yes, while these will work during your nine-to-five, you could just as easily craft them into an elevated weekend outfit, too.

Historically, flannel shirts are for woodsy lumberjacks and grunge heads whose style is stuck in the 1990s. Outdoorsmen will recommend shopping the thermal button-down at labels like Carhartt and L.L. Bean, while grungers are wearing the same shirts from when they saw Nirvana back in ‘93.

But if you ask the fashion set, they’ll paint a different picture. They'll tell you flannel shirt outfits are a regular sight in downtown Manhattan and at fashion week, worn by a lady running weekend errands while embodying quiet luxury and by models on Chanel runways (slash subway platforms). They’ll point out celebrity It girls like Jennifer Lawrence and Katie Holmes have co-opted the humble plaid shirt—only theirs typically have not-so-humble price tags.

Those same fashion know-it-alls will likely leave you with this tip: Now's the time to buy a flannel shirt. The style is trending this winter—up 13 percent from last year, according to Style Analytics—and on track to stay the course, with brands like Celine, Tod's, and Victoria Beckham all showing fashion flannels in their Spring 2026 collections.

What's behind the great flannel shirt rebrand of 2025? As many recent fashion trends do, this one traces back to The Row: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen opened their brand's Spring 2025 collection with a red and blue tartan shirt paired with smart front-pleated trousers and open-toed flat sandals. They flipped the script on flannels, presenting them as a simple, laidback staple that exudes the level of luxury The Row is known for. (The brand’s coveted cotton Nesson shirt retailed for $1,290, and is now sold out across retailers.)

Cut to now, and the fashion-ification of flannel shirts has hit the mainstream. Retailers like Cos, Doên, and Aritzia, and cult-favorite labels like Kallmeyer, TWP, and Tibi, sell their own riffs on flannel shirts in Winter 2026's top color trends, each making for a smart swap for your old button-down shirt.

Shopping-wise, you're all set with the hard-working shirt trend. But what about styling the flannel once it's in your possession? What do you pair with the outdoorsy staple to exude 'cool girl bopping around town' and not 'woodsman chopping down timber'?

Below is a round-up of 10 luxe-leaning flannel outfits for you to recreate this season and keep in your rotation for spring, too. Sourced from Fashion Month street style, the celebrity fashion circuit, and our favorite recent runway looks, not a single look below falls into lumberjack territory.

As a Graphic Layer

Michael Rider's Celine Spring 2026 debut had fashion folks buzzing. There were shirt sandwiches in complementary colors, silk scarves draped over shoulders in a French-girl fashion, and flannel shirts strategically layered as blink-and-you'll-miss-it graphic elements. The latter styling tip is what we're here to discuss today: You can achieve the playful pop of print with any flannel shirt you desire, as long as you pull its cuffs and collar out and over your top layer.

A Casual-Chic Combo

Behold, your new outfit idea for bleary Saturday mornings when you have a day of to-dos ahead of you. This Paris Fashion Week show-goer used a chocolate brown flannel shirt as the foundation of a nonchalant, predominantly neutral look. Cargo pants and a gray crewneck fashion sweatshirt (yes, that's a trend, too) round out the rest of the relaxed outfit.

A Tonal Palette

Pick a slightly out-of-the-box fashion trend, and there's Jennifer Lawrence, wearing it around New York City's Tribeca and making it look aspirational, interesting, and easy to recreate. Last February, the actress gave fashion's flannel shirt rebrand an early co-sign, styling a robin's egg blue top with coordinating navy separates. Take a cue from Lawrence and commit to a tonal color palette when styling the plaid shirt.

A Color-Pop Flannel Shirt

A pinkish-red and white flannel, peering out from under a leather jacket and paired with split trousers, was a standout look on Coperni's Spring 2026 runway. It was a simple but effective lesson on an outfit color pop: All you need is a neutral base (a black cami and coordinating trousers, for instance) and one bright element, like a fun flannel, to add contrast.

A Plaid Shacket

Reliably cozy and dual-purpose—flannel shackets, like Paloma Elsesser's ketchup-and-mustard-colored overshirt, are smart additions to your closet when an all-brown suede jacket feels a bit boring. When the weather allows, wear it open with a white tank and a simple, sleek pair of tailored trousers. Or, on winter days when you need a more substantial outer layer, as a graphic touch peering out from underneath (refer back to the first Celine outfit as an example).

Flannel on Flannel

This look from Tod's Spring 2026 show is a solid reference for those who dare flannel-on-flannel. A rule of thumb when piling on multiple prints is to pay close attention to the colors, making sure they coordinate, complement, and don't overwhelm the eye. As evidenced here, black, off-white, and camel, which are similar yet different minimal neutrals, work well.

A Dark and Subdued Flannel

Another unexpected choice that's more intriguing than a standard flannel shirt outfit is a dark-toned print. Not only will it stand out in a sea of fire-engine-red flannels, but it also achieves that effortless chicness of an all-black look that New Yorkers swear by. Try a cropped jacket in black and gray plaid with pants made of thick tweed or wool and a small-but-mighty kitten heel.

Smells Like Teen Spirit

Kick it back to Kurt Cobain with an homage to the '90s fashion era with a flannel shirt that features a crafty DIY touch—like this ombre option, embellished with silver studs and distressed studs. Leather trousers up the grunge ante.

A Ladylike Spin

Alternatively, you can lean into more feminine stylings—exhibit A: a teal flannel with a structural A-line midi skirt and cap-toe booties, subverting the shirt's "rugged and ready to work"connotations.

A Flannel Lady Jacket

Consider a cropped lady jacket in plaid if you want the graphic intrigue of a tartan top but crave a more feminine feel. Steal this London Fashion Week guest's style by pairing yours with high-rise blue jeans.

January is when I officially become sick and tired of taking the same knits, trousers, and turtlenecks and attempting to style them into a fresh-feeling winter outfit combination. Layered looks are usually my bread and butter, but we're all in a bit of a January rut right now—so I'm, at the very least, browsing the new finds to get some inspiration—if not purchasing a few new things to fold into my rotation. At least, that’s how I found myself landing on Aritzia’s new-in section. The brand just dropped its pre-spring collection, and I found 20 perfect pieces to help my winter styling woes.

Not only do my picks work when it’s frigid outside, but these pieces will also carry you into the transitional dressing period. They include everything you need to create the most versatile outfits that will get you excited, like luxurious cashmere sweaters, trench coats, lightweight denim jackets, and so much more. They also have items in neutral shades like black, white, or gray for maximum wearability and versatility, but there's a host of winter’s trendier color options, too.
