If you're a minimalist, a fan of extremely luxurious clothing or a Mary-Kate-and-Ashley-Olsen obsessive, chances are you're familiar with The Row, the designer brand spearheaded by the two stylish, celebrity twins. Over the years, The Row has garnered a cult following amongst celebrities and fashion people alike, thanks to its understated but always elevated designs.

Crafted from only the very best fabrics, the designs often come with hefty price tags, despite sometimes appearing to be quite simple, but that's the beauty of The Row. The epitome of quiet luxury, the brand is for those who don't want to attract too much attention, but want to invest wisely in quality, anti-trend items that will never date—pieces they can actually wear on repeat to look classic and polished in everyday life.

The Row's boots, sandals and handbags have all reached cult status amongst "in the know" circles, as well as its impeccable coats and, of course, its wide-leg trousers. It all started with the beige Phoebe trousers from the S/S 21 collection, worn by the likes of Kendall Jenner, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and even the Haim sisters on the red carpet. This is a pair of trousers so perfect they launched a trend that has now infiltrated every corner of the high street and luxury market.

Simple they may be, but with the Phoebe pants The Row proved that a pair of wide-leg trousers (designer or not) was the item we were all missing in our wardrobes to create pulled-together looks.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has a few different pairs of the Row's wide-leg trousers, in beige and classic black.

Since then, the Olsens have made wide-leg trousers a mainstay in their The Row collections, and there's now a number of styles available to suit your every need—satin versions for dressing up, cotton versions for more relaxed outings, drawstring-waists for ultimate comfort and wool styles that will be the linchpin of your working wardrobe. Whether you can ever find any of them in stock is another question.

Whilst there are now so many brilliant, more affordable options on the market (COS, Uniqlo and Massimo Dutti are my favourites for designs that still hold up in quality),The Row's wide-leg trousers remain the ultimate version to own—the OG, if you will. It's undeniable that if you're looking to invest in a pair of impeccably tailored, superior-quality trousers that will last in your wardrobe forever, then it's absolutely worth considering an option from The Row.
