Everyone knows a well-rounded wardrobe consists of timeless and practical basics that can be worn for years to come, which is why women have come to obsess over Vancouver-founded Aritzia.

Known for its elevated and quality-crafted basics, Aritzia is where most shoppers go to stock up on well-made coats, quality tees, great jeans, tailored trousers, layering essentials, and cozy knits. And let’s not forget about the brand’s trendier pieces including the Super Puff coat, silk slip dresses, teddy jackets, and jumpsuits.

You have to admit, you probably realized you own many (or most) of these items as you read that. But for the devoted shoppers, who feel like they already own all of the brand’s essentials, they can find solace knowing there are other brands like Aritzia out there that offer similar styles, and sometimes at a lower price too!

Here are brands to shop For if you’re obsessed with Aritzia.
