If You Love The Row But Your Budget Is Under $200, Then Here's What You Should Shop From Nordstrom
Anyone who uses the word "chic" to describe their style probably loves The Row. And honestly, how could you not?
They’ve practically perfected the art of luxury minimalism and elevated timelessness, with high-end fabrics and impeccable attention to detail, forming "an irreverent classic signature." If you naturally gravitate toward elegance, The Row is the gold standard. And while they typically stick to a pared-back aesthetic, they’re not above the occasional trend, like its viral $890 Mara jelly flats. Another case in point? Its Black Elastic Ballerina Flats, which countless other brands have since reimagined.
Now, while I (and many others) would love nothing more than a closet full of the Olsen twins’ label, I also want to help others (and myself) find pieces that channel that same energy. So, I gave myself a little challenge: Find pieces at Nordstrom that remind me of The Row—but every item had to be under $200.
Inspired by the Boheme Mary Janes.
I saw flatforms by The Row recently—a style I honestly didn't expect from the brand.
And how could we forget mesh flats?
I'd recommend looking at Open Edit for good, under-$100 options.
