[@a4j6y2l9]

those twins better be paying you commission

[@NeelamAhooja]

Oh that would be nice! They’re one of the few brands that don’t work with content creators. Maybe one day. ☺️

[@eliiiizaaa]

I've watched many style videos, capsule wardrobe videos, etc but your channel and your videos are the best resource out there to teach you how for excellent style you need to understand your body, how clothes fit you, pay attention to the litte details! Thank you so much, amazing content, please keep it up!!

[@NeelamAhooja]

That’s very sweet, thank you!

[@modeetchien]

I could watch you all day- so easy to listen to and so knowledgeable about The Row! Another great video, thank you! 🖤

[@NeelamAhooja]

That’s so sweet! I hope it doesn’t become annoying later. 😂

[@thndrprfct]

Hi Neelam, can you also go over your basic staple t-shirts and button downs? I’m still on the hunt for that perfect white tee that I can buy over and over again without breaking the bank. Love the relaxed shirt you’re wearing in the video!

[@kmtaylor88]

Thank you for recommending the Eglitta Jeans, I just love them and this is from someone who hates jeans...

[@NeelamAhooja]

Very happy to hear this! 🥰

[@strategicallystyled5459]

You do such a great job describing all of the pieces ❤️

[@josefinateroganesyan8669]

Thank you for these educational videos. I have watched some of your videos several times and keep going back to them as I'm ready to make purchases. So far everything that I have purchased from your recommended The Row pieces, I truly enjoy them. Thanks again!

[@NeelamAhooja]

Really happy to hear this. And thank you! 🥰

[@umaberry]

I love your style❤ You’re making me obsessed with The Row!!!

[@NeelamAhooja]

Thank you! And 😆sorry about that! It’s an expensive habit to adopt but they just making such great pieces.

[@rookmanikaur6170]

Your channel just came through to my feed and I am thrilled. Your style is so chic, elegant and understated at the same time. You’re slaying all The Row items. How did I not know about you before. You’re on 🔥🔥🔥

[@NeelamAhooja]

I’m so glad you found me! Thanks for the feedback.☺️

[@abbycatherine8135]

What a wonderful and well-researched, detailed video! I always love your content, but this was so interesting since I felt as if I was getting into your thought processes on dressing 🙂 I've read all the comments on this video and would also appreciate advice on t-shirts (brands, any other info you think would be helpful). Loved your comment on wearing Theory during your accounting days... I can totally relate as I work in banking and the brand I first aspired to for minimal but quality work clothing was definitely Theory ❤

[@victoriavandervesthuizen2224]

Thank you, Neelam for your wonderful videos! Very helpful. Gala pants is my wardrobe staple, can’t stop wearing them. I agree that they don’t suit everyone though.

[@NeelamAhooja]

You’re so welcome! Oh how I wish Gala suited me. They’re such an easy style. Love.

[@msToshKaz]

Love this , had a feeling as if we had a discussion 🤣

[@carmengrauwels]

How you style your pieces it reminds me of Carolyn Bessette. ✌🏻❄️

[@NeelamAhooja]

That’s a lovely compliment, thank you ☺️

[@carmengrauwels]

@@NeelamAhooja although you wouldn't see it on the first note, but I love timeless pieces (according to my budget) but I also love adding some pops of something ( can be a scarf, a hat or piece of jewelry for example LaManso, FryPowers or whatever speaks to me) It's a mix let's leaf at that 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ To go back to timeless, and versatility bc that's also very important to have a minimal wardrobe, I find, even if I had the budget I wouldn't go buy 100 different things just not in me. And if you take a Carolyn Bessette and see all her looks in pictures and placed them next to each other see was a serious outfit repeater! And that's what I see in your take too , a piece, a look you feel totally & otherly yourself in

[@clairebagsandlife]

Great explanation of some core pieces. I've just bought my first bag from The Row (Margaux 10) following having watched a few of your videos. It's a beautiful quality bag. 👌

[@samanthapatino2676]

I’m addicted to you videos, now I want loafers 😂❤

[@rnadauld]

You often wear great classic white and black tees. I have had a problem finding a good one! My rag & bones get holes and my raey is balled up. Thanks in advance!

[@natalieurzi3906]

new sub here and a fellow canadian! i have to say in the last year or so i've been investing in the row. i love the simplicity and great quality pieces they have. i love watching your reviews it helps me a lot. thank you.

[@NeelamAhooja]

Happy to have you here, and happy my reviews help. I find their shoe sizing tricky.

[@natalieurzi3906]

@@NeelamAhooja oh yes definitely! I just ordered a pair of soft leather loafers. I went with my size, do you know if they’re true to size? The ones that look pleated kind of.

[@NeelamAhooja]

@natalieurzi3906 I did a review for those - I went with my true size, some sized up a half.

[@natalieurzi3906]

@@NeelamAhooja I will watch it thanks!

[@MotoM0nk]

could you please do a video of what other, more affordable, brands compare to the Row? I mean, The Row is very expensive, at $800 and over per a shirt and over $1k for trousers....

[@suhaidihanse8828]

Great videos, looking forward part 3. Pls share info about skirts.

[@NeelamAhooja]

Any skirts in particular? Or just my opinion on which ones to purchase?

[@leneekay1]

I'm a bit shorter than you. 5'1'' and it has been so hard to find contents that are more suitable for my size, age & type of styles I truly enjoy, like and would hold dear. Until I saw you. So, thank you so much for your great videos, input & resources shared.

[@NeelamAhooja]

Oh you are very welcome! 🥰

[@stacieheroux]

Would love you to do more videos like this including sizes/ how they fit on you. We have a similar height and size and would be sooooo helpful for me to know your size in shirts etc… thank you:). I would really love to buy the Valene shirt but have no idea what size to buy . Any ideas? I’m subscribing rn. ❤

[@naomid9397]

I truly appreciate all your insights and how you explain your reasons in liking or loving each piece that you have. I think, like you, I’m usually conscious on how I feel or would like to feel when wearing something so comfort is number one, followed by other considerations. I share many if not all your reasons when deciding what to wear. Thank you! Always enjoy your presentations. Btw, do you mind sharing the brand of your flat black mules shown on the photo wearing your The Row jeans please? I’ve been looking for something like that for a few years now. They are not easy to find. I have the Canal loafers (I bought about 2 years ago after seeing your video). which I like very much. Thanks again.

[@NeelamAhooja]

Thank for you for this thoughtful feedback :) Do you mean the mules with the blue vintage Levi’s where I’m looking down? They’re The Row Granpa slippers (old style). They’re coming out with a new mule this spring - I’ll review them.

[@naomid9397]

I watched the video again and yes, you’re right. It’s when you were looking down and wearing the vintage blue jeans. “The Row grandpa slippers” as you mentioned on your reply is what you were wearing. Can’t wait for your review on the new version of the slippers next Spring. Thank you!!! And, thanks for your prompt response. ❤️😊

[@LEluvs_0516]

I have the Bariem pant instead of the gala. I got them on sale. How do you think they compare? I doubt I need both haha

[@NeelamAhooja]

I have the Bariem as well and I prefer them to the Gala. They do serve the same purpose so save your money for a different style.

[@jenniferc5880]

Thank you for another great video! For the sisea, I’ve seen listed as 100% cotton and a mix of cotton/spandex (amounts weren’t listed). The price difference was around $200. Do you have any thoughts on the fabric? And do you recommend true to size? As I’m 5’4 and their items can run large I sometimes go down a size.

[@ilonapanoussaki3790]

Hi. Great video. I am wondering if you know, For the denim, if I wear a size 27 in Frame and or Mother, would I be a size 6 in the Eglitta Row mid-rise wide leg pants?

[@NeelamAhooja]

I would try 4 and 6.

[@ilonapanoussaki3790]

@@NeelamAhooja thank 🙇

[@StylishandGrateful]

Hi Neelam 🌻 I just found your channel looking for The Row reviews. What a thorough overview of so many pieces! Thank you! Sounds like going in store is going to be key at first. I’m taller so I have issues with inseams and I see they don’t post those online. Are they all long to start? And everything needs to be hemmed?🤔 I recently picked up my first item, The Park Tote Three EW and was really impressed so looking at other items as well now.🌻

[@NeelamAhooja]

Hi! Happy you found me :) I do find the length of most of their items long. Hopefully in store you’ll have good luck.

[@leylamarley1515]

This doesnt have to do with the row but... Do you have a beauty rotutine/hair care video on your channel? Love your style

[@sandranicholson9142]

Hi, I know you don't personally wear the Gala but would you recommend the 100% wool for winter or the Viscose wool blend? Thanks!

[@NeelamAhooja]

For winter wool is warmer :)

[@oneandonlyptah]

what other brands (beside theory) do you think make fitted tees that are comparable to the row? love your videos!

[@mindi5122]

where in Toronto could we try on--Holts? thanx!

[@dannixtaylor]

Hi! Love your videos, every one makes me more obsessed with The Row. Just wondering what size you take in the Dustina blazer? I am the same height and I think general size as you are and am a little unsure whether to go a 0 or a 2. Thank you! 😘

[@NeelamAhooja]

Thank you for watching 🥰 I like the size 2. A little bit of room.

[@dannixtaylor]

Oh amazing, thank you! Good thinking. And thank you for replying so quickly

[@lilyjaraha]

Hi! I am 5 foot 1 with wider hips and smaller waist do you think I will be swimming in the gala pants?

[@NeelamAhooja]

They’re an oversized style so I think you’ll be ok.

[@claudiaguevara1789]

[@christinatersak-v5r]

Hello 😊 I was wondering if you can also recommend some t-shirts from the row?

[@NeelamAhooja]

I don’t own many of them - oddly enough as that’s how they started. They do some nice cottons. I love the Sherman long sleeve because it’s not too thick.

[@christinatersak-v5r]

Ahhh oke. Can you maybe recommend some good t shirts from other brands? Especially black ones? I just turned 40 and I’m slowly changing my wardrobe. I only want to buy good quality timeless pieces and I just started to pick up pieces from the row because of you! Thank you for that ❤

[@janemackrell3733]

Thank you for this. I have recently bought the Riaco jeans in black. I am quite petite (your size’ish). I have the US size 2 and 4. The 4 is on the loose side, the 2 fits neatly. Should I keep both? Will they shrink in the wash or stretch with wear? Any advice would be hugely appreciated. Thank you so much, I love all of your videos

[@NeelamAhooja]

I talk about shrinkage in my next video which will drop this weekend. It’s dedicated to jeans. I suggest dry clean only and go with the size you feel best in - they will stretch a little with wear and if you throw them in the washer and dryer, they will definitely shrink as they’re cotton.

[@janemackrell3733]

Thank you very much, that is helpful. My deadline to return them is tomorrow.

[@roxanaphi]

Hello from a fellow Canadian! I have watched a few of your videos and love your style, hair, gorgeous! A few questions pop to mind though. You had mentioned you are petite, with a longer torso and shorter legs, so out of curiosity, why do you believe a higher waist pant doesn't suit you? Wouldn't a low waist pant make your torso appear even longer and your legs even shorter? IMO I think you'd look fabulous in high waist wide leg pants! :) Second, regarding your mention of easy piling of The Row knits - I was always under the impression that lower quality wool or cashmere would cause quicker/easier piling; something to do with the length of the fiber (?). So again curious how that relates to the quality and price point of the brand. Finally, I wanted to ask what your opinion is on Toteme. To me, the aesthetic is very similar. I own several Toteme pieces but none of The Row and I find the quality and versatility to be great at a lower price point.

[@NeelamAhooja]

Lots of good questions! I’m not sure why but it just is - I have friends who have long legs and shorter torsos and they all love higher waists and it suits them and they can’t wear low rise but for me, it’s perfect. I find all my cashmere low or high, pills. The difference is the higher quality is softer and doesn’t irritate my skin. And re Toteme - I like it but the material feels stiffer and it doesn’t fall on the body the same way TR does. That accounts for the difference in price as well. Toteme makes some good things though! I’ve considered a coat here and there.

[@jasminflower4545]

i just want to ask you how is the quality of the row knit wear. thanks

[@NeelamAhooja]

I speak to that point in this video and my other one where I compare the Sibem and Ophelia :)

[@Lucretciela]

What you mentioned @12:02, the high waisted pants sitting too high on your torso... That's a big annoyance for a lot of women. I'm surprised The Row doesn't offer high waisted pants that work around this issue, bc both Mary Kate & Ashley are very small. I've seen them in person, and I believe them both to be around 4'9" - 5'0" (despite what's documented), so I'm sure they, too, have experienced similar issues. The Row could easily work out a high waisted fit aimed not just at size but also stature. Say you could find high waisted pants in size-- 12 Large/Short Waist, or 6 Medium/X Short Waist, like how Levis offer height options along with your size.

[@NeelamAhooja]

Yes that would be nice but for now I just opt for low waisted items. They have a number of styles that work.

[@nerminacamovic1600]

I can not find you on Instagram anymore. Is your account still functioning or?😮

[@LindaDelsnider]

Since we’re both vertically challenged, do you take your proportions into consideration; ie: always tuck without looking like a bag lady, help!

[@NeelamAhooja]

When I do a full tuck I look shorter somehow. I do a half tuck and have the back hanging out usually. Unless it’s an oversized shirt that can billow out at the back.
