30 Aritzia Items That'll Be Next to Free After Calculating Their Price Per Wear
I'm not the type of shopper who buys things and doesn't wear them. Every item in my wardrobe gets plenty of airtime, whether I qualify it as a basic or a statement piece. If it doesn't, I'm quick to bid it farewell. Because of that, it should come as no surprise that the phrase "price per wear" comes out of my mouth a lot. For me, calculating the price of a garment, pair of shoes, or accessory based on how many times I put it to good use makes all the sense in the world. It's kind of my secret to creating a perfect wardrobe, and I'm fully prepared to tell as many people as possible about it.
Rather than explaining it with my own closet, I decided to showcase the price-per-wear shopping method with spring and summer pieces from Aritzia. For hours, I dug into the retailer's offering, going through practically every item that's currently available to shop and hand-selecting the ones that cost the least based on how often they'll get utilized. Of thousands of options, only 30 made the cut, ranging from personally vetted denim to easy dresses. Scroll down to see which pieces from Aritzia I think will, over time, pay for themselves.
Every pair of Levi's in my closet gets a lot of wear, but the Baggy Dad style I own (aka this wash) is by far the one I grab the most.
Ever since I saw Sofia Richie Grainge in a white T-shirt dress from The Row not once but twice, I've been obsessed with the effortless frock.
This pencil skirt is giving office-siren, Saint Laurent vibes that I know I'll want to give off for the rest of my life. So yes, it's coming home with me.
