32 Affordable Buys That Could Pass as The Row, Khaite, or Totême
Okay, I realize that the headline is a pretty bold claim. But all hyperbole aside, I can honestly say that the finds you're about to see here at least emulate the vibe I'm going for. And what exactly does that vibe entail? Descriptors like serene, minimalist, and low-key luxe come to mind with designer labels like The Row, Khaite, and Totême as my guiding force. If your style skews simple and classic, you probably feel the same.
Let's just say that if money were no object, I'd have a closet full of these labels. But since my budget is not, in fact, limitless, I'm always looking to re-create this aesthetic on a slightly more affordable budget, and right now, I've sourced 32 fashion finds that ooze the same kind of easy elegance as my favorite designer labels. Scroll to peruse my edit of minimalist buys that only look luxe, from simple column skirts to strappy sandals.
Call me biased, but this plissé set looks so expensive.
The kind of top I imagine a The Row girl would wear for a night out.
The racer neckline, the fitted bodice, the maxi hemline—it's all working.
The rectangular bag from The Row is on my wish list, but this Mango one is honestly pretty good too.
This is already editor approved.
I have a Totême blazer that looks just like this, and I wear it constantly.
We heard baseball caps were having a moment, and we wanted in.
This immediately reminded me of this viral street style moment from several summers ago.
While these might not count as truly affordable, they were just too good not to include.
