If I could only wear one designer for the rest of my life, it would most definitely have to be The Row. There's been a recent demand for elevated wardrobe essentials that are both luxe and minimal, which no one does better than Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. They've got the feel of understated luxury down pat, and I'll believe anything is cool if they tell me it is. Right now, my bank account wouldn't be able to handle a shopping cart filled with The Row (dreaming about that day), so for now, I'm figuring out how to duplicate the brand's minimal approach to fashion on a budget.
I searched all through Who What Wear's favorite affordable retailers and found a slew of expensive-looking and anti-trend pieces worth your attention. From crisp button-downs to relaxed trousers, there's a variety of items you'll want to add to your cart immediately.
When I showed these to my co-worker Aniyah, she immediately said, "That looks so expensive." Do you need any further proof?
