I Want a The Row Aesthetic But Have a Zara Budget—See My 2022 Picks

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.

Assistant Market Editor
Yusra Siddiqui is an editor who resides in New Jersey but bounces between the suburbs and NYC. (She's a Jersey girl at heart.) After interning at Who What Wear in 2019, she found her way to the team after graduating from LIM College in 2022 with a fashion media degree. She's also spent time writing and working for publications such as Fashionista, Coveteur, and Nylon, but she always knew that Who What Wear was where she was meant to be. When she's on the job, she's perusing runway shows, analyzing the latest thing fellow Gen Zers are up to on the internet, and sharing what she can about the modest-fashion market. You can also catch her dabbling in entertainment, talking about the costume choices of the latest Netflix series or diving deeper into how the plotline affects the viewers in a myriad of ways. Lastly, she likes to create content for Who What Wear's TikTok. Her personal time is spent doing similar but also different things—deep diving into almost every new TV show (Bridgerton, Gilmore Girls, and Stranger Things are favorites), planning her next local getaway (whenever that may be), and reading the latest Emily Henry or Sally Rooney novel in one sitting.
