Editor’s Guide: Living in The Row
The Row is about “uniform dressing.” The pieces are designed to be layered and lived in. Here is how to master the aesthetic.
1. The Margaux Effect
The Margaux bag is the ultimate investment piece. Whether in suede or smooth leather, let it be the focal point. Carry it unfastened (as seen on the runway) for that effortless, “I’m too busy to clip my bag” look.
2. Monochromatic Layering
The brand’s palette is strictly neutral: black, navy, ivory, and taupe. Create depth by mixing textures—pair a heavy cashmere sweater with a fluid silk skirt or crisp cotton poplin trousers.
3. The Oversized Coat
The Row’s outerwear is legendary for its volume. Balance an oversized trench or wool coat with a sleek boot or a simple loafer. The volume is the statement, so keep accessories minimal.
Sizing Guide: The Row
The Row uses US Sizing (0-12) or International Sizing (XS-XL).
- The Fit: The aesthetic is intentionally oversized and relaxed. Shoulders are often dropped, and trousers are cut long.
- Recommendation:
- Coats & Knits: If you prefer a more tailored look, you can often size down one or even two sizes.
- Trousers: Stick to your true size for the intended slouchy fit, but expect to need hemming if you are petite.
- Footwear: Shoes (like the Ginza flip flop or Zipped Boot) generally run true to size.
- Bag Sizes (Margaux):
- 10: Daily handbag (fits essentials).
- 15: The standard work bag (fits laptop).
- 17: The oversized travel tote.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is The Row so expensive?
The Row’s pricing reflects its uncompromising approach to quality. It utilizes the world’s finest fabrics (double-faced cashmere, sea island cotton) and produces in limited quantities in Italy and the USA, ensuring exclusivity and longevity.
Does The Row run big?
Yes, generally. The brand favors voluminous, architectural silhouettes. Many clients size down in knitwear and outerwear for a closer fit, while trousers are designed to sit low and loose.
