The Row's Sandals are Pure Luxury—5 Pairs You'll Wear Forever
Monikh's impressive collection of The Row sandals.
Is there anything that The Row can't do? From exceptional tailoring to covetable handbags, the brand's considered approach to luxury fashion has been changing the way we dress since it's launch in 2006, and 18 years later we're still obsessed with their minimalist aesthetic (not so bad for a brand that started as a quest for the "perfect" white tee).
And while we adore the brand's pared-back wardrobe staples, it's The Row's shoe offering that has truly captured the hearts and minds of fashion people everywhere. Probably because all of the brand's pieces are such big investments, it's nice to be able to get maximum wear out of them. A great pair of shoes can be worn every day of the week, in so many different ways, so you can truly get your money's worth.
In winter, the ankle boot of choice for the best-dressed set is still The Row's zip-up style (four years on from their release), and in spring/summer it's the brand's simple yet elegant sandals that everyone wants to be wearing, year after year. From the iconic fisherman sandals, to the Ginza flatform flip flops—The Row's sandals don't follow trends, they start them (and inspire hundreds of high street dupes while they're at it).
Tylynn shows us how to style The Row's fisherman sandals all year round.
If you're looking to invest in a pair of the OGs this year, we can say with confidence that you're highly unlikely to regret your decision. Loyal disciples of The Row's sandals, like Monikh, @theindiaedit and @modedamour bring out their favourite pairs year after year, proving that not only does the quality hold up if you look after them, but the designs are truly timeless too.
At Who What Wear, we're personally huge fans of a brand that eschews trends for classic style (and, importantly, comfort) and re-releases their hero styles again and again as opposed to encouraging more and more newness, especially when you're having to invest heavily in it. Whichever pair of The Row sandals you manage to get your hands on (honestly, when summer hits every retailer finds it near impossible to keep them in stock), you can look forward to wearing them for a long time. There are, however, a number of specific styles that have garnered a cult following over the years, and we've rounded them up below, along with the brand's most popular styles for 2024.
