The Row: 31 Other Brands Offering a Similar Style

By Gemma Prior

The Row. It is a brand known by all who enjoy fashion and especially those seeking a modern minimalist aesthetic. Appreciated for the quiet luxury and minimalist chic it offers, the brand is renowned both for its timeless style and the women who created it: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Names not lacking in fashion notability.

However, there are also reasons why, for many of us, The Row is not a brand to shop.

Despite The Row's position as a luxury fashion label, it appears they have done little to improve their ethical practices and sustainability and continue to rank 1/5 - the lowest possible - on the sustainable fashion directory, Good On You.

Astonishingly, The Row actually ranks lower on Good On You than fast fashion brands such as Mango, H&M, and Zara, and instead scores the same ranking as the notorious ultra-fast fashion label, Shein.

And these are topics that can no longer remain irrelevant to any brands considering the impact they impart on both our planet and the people employed to create the products for the brand.

Then there is the price, with all of their pieces sitting well above what is accessible for the majority of fashion lovers.

This blog shares a collection of 31 more ethical fashion labels that offer a similar timeless minimalist style to the one created by The Row, while also showing more commitment to improving their practices, as well as more affordable pricing.

Keep scrolling to the find the brands that work for you, including well known ones such as Toteme, Rohe, and Dagmar, while also discovering lesser known brands such as Almada, Reyem, and Gia Studios.
