And while perusing the site, I discovered that the beloved brand has everything I could possibly need for my elevated warm-weather capsule wardrobe.

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.

I already own several tailored vests, but I live by the rule that you can never have too many. Designed with subtle pinstripes and charming buttons, Aritzia’s version exudes a corp-core energy that I can’t seem to resist.
Trips to the beach won’t be complete without these delicate linen shorts. Team them with a matching top and you’ve got yourself a look that you’ll wear endlessly.
Aritzia’s Whisper Linen Halter Top boasts a delectable bubblegum pink shade that falls right in line with the girlhood aesthetic. If bright colors aren’t your thing, the brand also offers this style in black and white.

This season, I’m ditching micro mini shorts for bottoms with lengthy inseams. With a thigh-grazing silhouette and a relaxed construction, these Bermuda shorts are practically begging for a prime spot in my closet.
Searching for a practical work dress? This A-line number features a high neckline that offers plenty of coverage and a loose-fitting shape with a modest appeal.

Allow me to introduce you to your new favorite beach bag. With a spacious interior and sturdy straps, this carryall will store all your shore-ready essentials.
While sweat-inducing temperatures are swiftly approaching, we should also expect bouts of breezy weather. For those moments, you’ll want to throw a blazer over your shoulders.
If you’re in need of a dressy alternative to your straightforward white T-shirt, reach for Aritzia’s Wilfred Faye Top. This boho shirt showcases a babydoll style that’s beyond endearing.
Butter yellow has become the most viral color trend of the season, so why not lean into the tasty shade with this poplin top. The smocked design and peplum hem makes this shirt stand apart from the rest.
To fend off the summer heat, I’ll be trading my floor-sweeping maxi skirts for shorter alternatives. I can’t wait to wear this one with a classic tee and chunky sandals.

There’s nothing I love more than the versatility of an oversized button-down top. Depending on my mood, I can easily coordinate this loose-fitting style with a tank top or wear it alone.
