If You Love Kendall and Elsa's The Row Flats, Zara's $40 Version Is Almost Impossible to Tell Apart
Your friends won't believe you when you tell them where you got these designer-passing slippers.
If you're familiar with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, you already know that comfort is their top priority. Their signature look of loose, baggy outfits and flat footwear has seamlessly carried over to their luxury label, The Row. The brand is celebrated for its incredibly soft knitwear, cozy loafers, and, most notably, the Frances slippers.
With a chic floral jacquard pattern, sleek satin fabric, and a low-profile silhouette, these flat slides have become the ultimate celebrity-coveted footwear this season. They capture the relaxed vibe of luxury hotel slippers but feature a sturdier insole and outsole designed for outdoor wear. True to The Row's aesthetic, they are minimal, sophisticated, and incredibly versatile. Style icons like Kendall Jenner and Elsa Hosk have been spotted pairing them with a variety of trousers, lightweight knits, tailored blazers, and sporty jackets.
As you might guess, these designer flats carry a premium price tag; even on sale, they will run you roughly $500. Fortunately, Zara Home has just dropped a similar alternative for $40. Much like the original, Zara's slippers are offered in black, beige, and taupe, and they come in both open-toe and closed-toe styles.
Ultimately, the decision is in your hands. Scroll down to compare The Row's Frances flats alongside Zara Home's budget-friendly slides. Whichever you choose, we highly recommend making room for them in your closet—they're the perfect way to get that It-girl look from now through fall.
