We're Fashion Editors—the 9 Best Items From The Row That Are Truly Worth the Investment

If you're a regular reader of Who What Wear , you'll know we're big believers in curating a sustainable capsule wardrobe full of pieces you truly love. Buying fewer high-quality items means you'll more confidently be able to pull items out of your closet season after season, and some classics even remain wearable all year round. That's not to say everything needs to be a luxury investment. You'll also know we love to hunt down expensive-looking items from affordable retailers that do the same job. When it comes to those hero pieces you wear to death—the perfect white shirt and pair of black tailored trousers, for example—prioritizing quality over quantity will ensure the longevity you're looking for.

When you are choosing to invest in those items, it's understandable that you might want a little extra guidance as to which brands and pieces we editors believe are truly worth your money. We've worked in this industry a long time, after all, and have the opportunity to get up close and personal with fabrics and designs from so many different brands. Hands down, the one we all stand behind for the best wardrobe staples, though, is The Row .

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley looks incredibly polished in the Dalel Oversized Washed-Silk Top.

What is The Row?

Yes, the Olsen twins' label is known for high price tags and an array of celebrity fans, but its designs unequivocally stand the test of time.

What is The Row known for?

The same pieces stay at the top of fashion's most wanted lists for years—Kendall Jenner's favorite beige wide-leg pants and the classic leather fisherman sandals are just two examples.

Is The Row worth it?

Not only are the pieces timeless, but introducing just one or two buys into your wardrobe will also elevate everything else in it. Of course, a top-to-toe The Row outfit is the dream, but pairing the pants with a Zara shirt is high-low dressing at its finest and will still look incredibly chic.

If you've been considering upgrading your wardrobe for a more elevated look that lasts, keep scrolling. You'll find the nine investment buys from The Row we believe you'll never regret.
