If The Row Is Your Goal Aesthetic, Try These 6 More Affordable Brands
If my credit card bill didn't need to be paid, my ideal wardrobe would be full of The Row. If you have a deep appreciation for minimal and understated luxury, you probably feel the same way. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's label has moved far beyond the "celebrity brand" category and has become an aspirational favorite among the fashion set. Recently, there has been a high demand for wearable staples that are trendless, pared-back, and ultra-luxe—and no one does that better than The Row.
Right now, I don't quite have the funds to go on a shopping spree comprised of The Row, so I'm looking toward brands that'll help me duplicate the style on a budget. I looked for brands that can easily elevate simple items like T-shirts, blazers, and skirts as well as the classic Olsen-inspired staples like leather sandals and sleek handbags. Keep scrolling to see the six brands I'm looking at, in addition to luxe-looking shopping picks from each.
1. Oak and Fort
Canadian retailer Oak and Fort is one that deserves your attention. The brand offers luxe-looking items that often come at an under-$100 price tag. While most items skew minimal, you can find a few trend-forward pieces in the mix.
2. Pixie Market
Pixie Market's curated offering ranges from ultra classic to basics that have just a hint of trend. Think classic items like tanks or button-downs with unique silhouettes and colorways mixed in.
Mango does trend-forward pieces extremely well, but you can also leave it to them to also make the wardrobe basics that are anything but boring.

4. Zara
You can always count on Zara for timeless and trendy pieces at an amazing price. Right now, however, its relaxed trousers, crisp basics, and staple shoes feel especially The Row–esque.
5. COS
COS creates the kind of pieces you'd see on a runway and brings them to you at a lesser price point.
6. & Other Stories
Designed in Stockholm, Paris, and L.A, & Other Stories knows how to make a luxe-looking item from formal dresses to everyday accessories.
