- I worked at Aritzia for three summers and the retailer's blazers are my favorite pieces.

- Blazers seamlessly transition from season to season and are a perfect layering choice.
After working at Aritzia for three summers, my closet has become its unofficial boutique, but the pieces that always receive a slew of compliments are the blazers. I own multiple in different styles and fits that make each of my past employee discounts worth it.
As a key transitional piece, Aritzia blazers are great for all seasons, but especially the fall and winter. The double-breasted fronts, shoulder pads, and smooth linings make them chic and comfy. Additionally, their varying unrestrictive silhouettes also prove that these blazers serve looks for any occasion. Out of all my Aritzia purchases over the years, these blazers are my absolute favorites:
A checkered blazer
This blazer from Aritzia's Wilfred line has a timeless plaid pattern, and the numerous buttons add interest and detail to my outfits. The elongated slim silhouette, along with its autumnal colors, makes it a great choice for light outerwear in the fall. Great photography skills aren't even needed to show how good this blazer looks.

The newest addition to my Aritzia collection is this oversized blazer that works as a jacket or dress. Also from Wilfred, the blazer's glen plaid design has a subtle, classic look that works for just about any setting. The fabric weight is slightly heavier than the others, but the utility of the large front pockets arguably balances it out.
Check out the Margaux Blazer for a similar look.

For any important event, a traditional blazer in a solid color is always a great choice. I use this Wilfred navy blazer for every job interview or occasion that calls for business casual. Its muted, neutral color and cropped hemline offer versatility in the styles of tops you can layer underneath. The tiny front pockets are decorative, but they fit it right in with the clean lines and overall tailored look.
