7 Aritzia Summer Basics to Buy Now, Per an Editor

It’s funny to me that no matter how much older I get or what stage of my life I’m in, I get the urge to purge every May. Yes, I know the spring and summer cleaning bug is very real—with a new season comes a fresh mindset and an out-with-the-old, in-with-the-new mentality. This time around, I got rid of a lot more than I thought—less is more is my motto for 2025, and that’s also reflected in the staples I’m eyeing right now. 

There are lots of trends for summer 2025 that I appreciate—boho chic, cowboy cool, you get the idea. And while I might splurge on a few of-the-moment finds (these cowboy boots, to be exact), my 31-year-old-self is favoring timeless, simple basics. That’s why I turned to Aritzia so when it came time to refresh my now-empty closet; the brand is known for its timeless, well-crafted, everyday luxury staples that are really reasonably priced. So, with a mission to intentionally replenish my closet and a need for a few flattering basics I can wear with what I already have in my wardrobe, I found myself scrolling through pages upon pages of Aritzia staples, only to be left wanting it…all.

Alas, a strict budget kept me in check, and I landed on these seven staples pieces, including flattering Aritzia bodysuits, ethereal linen dresses, and my all-time favorite pleated skirt. Check out the below editor-approved finds perfect for summer.

7 Aritzia Summer Basics

New Twirl Pleated Skirt

This is officially my all-time favorite skirt. A few years ago, I got it in a pretty pink hue, but I finally decided, “hey, I love it so much, why don’t I get it in another color?” Alas, I scooped up the black option. The material is so romantic and ethereal, and the pleats are subtle but still visible. Plus, it’s lightweight, which makes it great for summer, and pairs well with ballet flats and sneakers alike.

Casual Contour Hi-hip Tube Top

Love them or hate them, there’s no denying the practicality of a tube top. You can wear it spring, summer, fall, and winter with a few simple styling swaps, but of course, its simple, unfussy silhouette shines the most in the hotter months. Aritzia’s tube tops are designed from a flattering, stretchy cotton, offering a second-skin feel you’ll be able to wear on even the hottest summer days. 

Audience Satin Mini Dress

This dress is sexy and sweet, and that’s a killer combo that I’ll never pass up on. I can picture this styled with kitten heel flip-flops (the shoe is trending big time for summer 2025), but its simple silhouette also pairs nicely with sleek white sneakers or even cowboy boots. TL;DR? Any shoes would probably work with this satin mini.

Check out more Aritzia staples I’m scooping up, including flattering bodysuits and more summer-perfect dresses that I predict will sell out.
