How is the quality on the Aritzia T Shirts?

Peri

Xtabay's beautiful dress drew me right in to the online store and about 6 T shirts are sitting in my cart at the the moment. I need to narrow that down because the colors are all similar...I need to look again and guess at what styles will be best.

I like T shirts that are as far from traditional cut as possible! Longer, drapey, and with diagonal sleeves or dropped shoulders are usually best for me. I was excited to see many that fit those criteria, and the fabric description of "silky jersey" is another big draw.

Does the fabric live up to that description? How is the quality? Any washing-shrinking issues? And how does the sizing run? If I want loose, should I size up, or do they factor that fit in already?

Thanks, Peri! When I ordered the dress, I also ordered a white 3/4 lenth sleeve tee. The fabric is wonderful to the touch, and a pleasure to wear. I don't have any experience with how they hold up in the laundry, though. Mine is still in its virgin state!

Longtime Aritzia shopper. My experience with their products has been generally positive. I've got at least five or six tops that have lasted very well. All of the jeans I've ever bought from them have been high-quality. I think the only failure I had was a very sheer, silky blouse that was clearly marked "hand wash only". I wore it once, ignored the label and put it through the hand wash cycle on my washing machine, and it came out ruined. Oh well, serves me right for going rogue.

Having said that, I often buy plain, cheap tee shirts from them that hold up well in the wash. I even put them in the dryer on low sometimes and they're fine. YMMV.

Looking forward to seeing what you've chosen! I like how so many of their "tee shirts" aren't really tee shirts -- they often have lovely drape. Be aware that because of the looseness, there are sometimes visible side bra issues.

I have a capucine tee that has held up well, but its side slits are so high that a camisole is definitely needed underneath.

Also if you end up returning anything you buy, be careful to watch the return process carefully. I recently returned about $200 worth of items and they first said I was getting a refund to my card and then sent me a $51.99 gift card -- I will still need to follow the process and my credit card account closely.

I buy a fair bit there - and have for years. No complaints from me. You do have to wash with care though - their jersey weight drapey t's are fairly delicate, all things relative.

Thanks all, I seem to be leaving the land of button down for the land of the tee this spring. Now I even the need to give Aritzia a try.

Never shopped there until yesterday when I finally found an Aritzia store near me. It is right in my local mall in a section I never visit. Did a quick run through but was overwhelmed. I need to go back when I'm not rushed. Would love to see what you buy.

It's a big store, but at a good half of it is for tweens (the whole TNT line) and young teens . They do a decent job of merchandising the more , uh, mature stuff together though to save you a lot of time
