How can I try on Aritzia clothes virtually before buying?

You can try on Aritzia clothes virtually with nista, a free Chrome extension that adds a virtual fitting room to online clothing stores. You create an avatar from a few photos of yourself, then press the "try it on" button on an Aritzia product page to see the piece on your own proportions. nista's fit is very close rather than exact, so confirm your size with the size guide on the product page.

Key takeaways

• nista is a Chrome extension that works on any online clothing store, and Aritzia is one of the stores named on nista.com.
• One avatar, made from a few photos, keeps your real proportions across every store you shop.
• The "try it on" button follows you as you browse, so there's no store-by-store setup.
• nista is 100% free, with no hidden paywalls or subscriptions.
• Use the try-on to compare silhouettes, and the product page's size guide to pick a size.

How to try on Aritzia items with nista

1. Get nista and build your avatar. Visit nista.com, add the Chrome extension, and upload a few photos of yourself.
2. Shop Aritzia in Chrome. Open aritzia.com and go to a product page.
3. Press "try it on." nista shows the piece on your avatar.
4. Try similar cuts side by side. If a style comes in several fits or lengths, try each one to see which silhouette you prefer.
5. Check the size guide. Open the size and fit information on the product page and compare it with your measurements before you order.

Why Aritzia's in-house brands reward comparing fits

Aritzia sells clothing under its own family of in-house labels, and each label tends to have its own design point of view. In practice that means you'll often see similar pieces (a trouser, a blazer, a knit) offered in several cuts, lengths, or rises across those labels. Reading a product description won't always tell you how two similar options differ on your body.

This is where a virtual try-on is most useful. Rather than ordering three versions of the same pant and returning two, you can try each cut on your avatar and see which hem, rise, or shoulder line works for you. For trousers and denim specifically, our guide on how to find jeans that fit walks through what to compare.

Aritzia shopping and fit tips

• Read the fit description on each product page. Look for notes on the intended fit (relaxed, fitted, cropped), the rise, and the inseam or length where listed.
• Check the model's size and height if shown. It helps you translate the product photos to your own height.
• Don't assume one size works across labels. Because each in-house label can be cut differently, check the size guide for each item rather than reusing your last size. See how to know if clothes will fit online.
• Look at fabric and care details. Stretch, drape, and thickness affect how a piece sits, and a try-on can't tell you how a fabric feels.
• Think in outfits, not single items. If you're building a set of core pieces, try each one and picture how they'll work together before you buy. Our capsule wardrobe guide can help you choose.
• Review the return terms on Aritzia's site before ordering multiple sizes, since policies can change.

What a virtual try-on can and can't tell you

nista says its fit is "very close": your avatar keeps your real proportions, and much of the team's research goes into rendering each garment accurately. That's helpful for judging length, volume, and how a cut sits on your frame. It doesn't replace measurements, and it can't predict how a fabric will feel or stretch over time. Treat the try-on as a way to narrow your choices, then let the size guide make the final call.

Try on your next Aritzia piece

When you're choosing between a few similar cuts, seeing each one on your own proportions makes the decision easier. Make your free nista avatar and press "try it on" on your next Aritzia product page.
