Is Quince Worth It? A Guide to Their Bestsellers

I don’t shop for sport. I shop to fill a gap, and I’d rather buy one well-made piece than three that fall apart by next season.

That’s why I was pleased to discover Quince a few years ago. The fabrics are solid, the cuts are clean, and the prices make sense.

Today I’m sharing a few of my favorites, along with some of their bestsellers, that can quietly strengthen a wardrobe built on good materials and thoughtful proportions. These are pieces that layer well, hold their shape, and work with what you already own. They change their colors often, so some of my pieces are in past season colors.

Why Quince? A New Kind of Affordable Luxury

Their direct-to-consumer model keeps prices lower, so you’re paying for fabric and construction rather than a designer label. That’s what first caught my attention. The cashmere, washable silk, and linen I’ve purchased have felt substantial, not flimsy, and they’ve held up well with regular wear.

What I appreciate most is the value equation. You can try elevated fabrics and classic silhouettes without making a four-figure commitment. For women who want quality materials, clean lines, and pieces that mix easily into an existing wardrobe, that’s a smart place to look.

Quince’s Best-Sellers

Washable Stretch Silk Skirts

Their silk skirts come in several lengths. I’m wearing the maxi in Champagne. I rolled the waistband over twice to get the exact length I wanted, and it stayed put, so no hemming was required. These skirts are not only beautiful and soft but also easily washable, which means no dry-cleaning hassle.

Most of the slip skirts I see brands selling are polyester, labeled as satin, but these ones are real silk, so they breathe and are more comfortable. For a cozier look, I’ve been pairing mine with a chunky knit sweater (like Quince’s 100% Organic Cotton Fisherman Boxy Cropped Cardigan), and I love the combination of textures.

Cashmere Sweaters

$50 MONGOLIAN CASHMERE V-NECK size M

My first dip into Quince’s cashmere was with this $50 Cashmere sweater, which I now own in several colors! It’s made from 12-gauge, 100% Grade-A Mongolian cashmere sourced from goats in Inner Mongolia and is incredibly soft. It comes in 11 colors this season.

CASHMERE HOODIE size M / CASHMERE TEE size M / SIMILAR JEANS / RETRO RUNNER SNEAKERS / SHOULDER BAG

I bought this cashmere hoodie for a trip to the Redwoods and reach for it often. It comes in 7 colors, and I already have my eye on the navy. I layered over one of my Quince cashmere tees, which feels a bit like LAYS potato chips…it’s hard just to have one. My lavender color seems to be sold out, but it comes in 7 other options.

MONGOLIAN CASHMERE CARDIGAN

This Mongolian Cashmere Cardigan is insanely comfy and priced under $139.90. I have worn this puppy on constant repeat. It comes in 8 gorgeous colors, and there will definitely be another color in my wardrobe this season.

My Favorite Quince Turtleneck Sweater
 QUINCE CASHMERE TURTLENECK size M

This cashmere turtleneck is a steal at under $89.90. I was excited to pull this out of storage to wear this season. It feels cozy yet light, perfect for layering or wearing solo. Dress it down with jeans for a laid-back look, or layer it under a blazer.

CASHMERE FISHERMAN SWEATER

I have this bestselling cashmere fisherman sweater in 2 colors, and adore it. It’s not so long that I have to tuck it, but long enough that I could if I wanted.

CASHMERE FISHERMAN HOODIE

Cozy, soft, and the perfect layer for a cool day. I love popping this over a tee with jeans for an elevated, but sporty look. It comes in 4 shades this season.

Washable Silk Blouse

I love this silk blouse…it’s so soft and luxurious, with a gorgeous drape that you’d never guess comes without the high price tag. I own the ivory, which is a soft white shade that was perfect with my white jeans during the warmer months. Now that the temps are dropping, I’ve been layering it under cozy sweaters and jackets. My favorite part is that, like the skirts, it’s machine washable.

Handbags

Made from Italian leather, Quince’s handbags feel wonderfully luxurious and look far more expensive than they are. Their designs are classic and timeless, making them easy to pair with just about any outfit, no matter where your day or night takes you. They come in lots of great neutrals, and as with all Quince products, these handbags are built to last.

Coats & Jackets

  1. I LOVE Quince
    Thanks for sharing what you love too

  2. Irene Mercer says:

    I’ve just started shopping at Quince as they just started shipping to Canada! I have the same boxy fisherman cardigan that you show but I have it in navy. It’s a great cotton sweater a a lovely weight for a cooler climate. I just received the Ponte straight leg pants and I absolutely love them. I love your blog you inspire me!

    1. I’m so happy to hear that!

  3. I have got to just go for it one of these days and order some of the items I have been thinking of purchasing. All of your pieces look so comfy. And…I adore purses and the Quince purses and totes are screaming at me to pick them.

  4. Jackie Bazley says:

    We bought the $50 cashmere sweaters for Hanukkah 2023 in lovely colors for the family, and have had laundering and pilling issues. Also purchased one bamboo sheet set with durability issues. On the other hand, the cotton cashmere sweaters hold up and launder well, and are super soft. I really need a navy skirt, so I’m going to give the silk one a go. The price is excellent, definitely worth a try. Kid’s clothing has been very good.

  5. Charlotte Lees says:

    I have a burgundy t shirt and 2 cashmere pull overs from Quince. Also slacks a camp shirt and 2 sleeveless tops in linen. I purchased the large woven tote for my trip to Europe last year. All are excellent quality. Love this brand.

  6. Patricia McMillan says:

    I have a few cotton sweaters and t-shirts. I have a couple of handbags. I am thinking about some jeans.

  7. Thanks for the Quince review. Question: Do you find that the zip front cashmere hoodie pills easily/badly? I ordered one a few weeks ago, but haven’t worn it yet as many reviews complained about pilling and holes developing. I’m trying to decide whether to keep it or send it back.

    1. I have not had a problem. All cashmere pills so I use a sweaer shaver when they show up.

    Hi Jennifer,
    Have you thought of a way to make this brand available in Australia. Odd we can get stuff from UK but not quince. A lot of the manufacture is closer to Australia than US.

    1. I have no idea what their future shipping plans are, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they do.

  9. Hello Jennifer,
    I have purchased several items from Quince and love each one. I have the hoodie in Navy and I reach for it frequently. Lightweight and warm.
    Thank you for all the research you have done. I enjoy reading your daily posts.

  10. Hi Jennifer,
    I haven’t bought Quince for myself yet. I have bought a couple of their sweaters as gifts, for both men and women. I’ve seen them on and felt them. Very nice. They’ve been appreciated and worn on repeat by the recipients. I want to get some for myself sometime.

  11. I have linen top and pants and love the quality. I also have two wool/cashmere crewneck sweaters and a navy cotton sweater. Love them all! Yes, I love Quince but have to have petite sizing. My sweaters are not and they are a bit long in length for me. Hopefully, they will continue to add more in my sizes. Love them!

  12. Thank You, I love Quince. I relooked at my wardrobe, yes I have many pieces. I’m purchasing the leather drawstring cross-body and might add another hoodie…..love the quality..Thanks for highlighting these clothes

  13. C. Oliver says:

    I love the clothing on Quince, but since I’m petite I need to know the length on their items. I can’t seem to find.

  14. Cindy Kline says:

    I have several Quince pieces. Their cashmere and leather bags are some of my favorites!

  15. Stephanie says:

    I have never shopped Quince before. Prices are good. Question on all the cashmere sweaters. How thick are they? I shopped Nordstrom Rack recently and looked at the Nordstrom cashmere sweaters but they were almost transparent. I hate to see my jeans through my sweater. Oh and the colors I am gravitating to now are cranberry, dark green and chocolate brown. Thanks for the information.

    1. Some are chunky and some are thinner but none are like the kind you describe. It’s also color dependent. The lighter the color the more sheer if there is not texture.

  16. Donna Goodman says:

    Jennifer, thank you for what you do. I find your blog so enjoyable and helpful.
    I have and love several Quince pieces but lately I am finding some items are only available on the app. I do my shopping on a laptop so this I find annoying. Why do they do this?

    1. I saw that too and wonder why? It seems counterproductive to me.

  17. Cindy Kline says:

    I have several pieces from Quince and love them all. Particular favorites are their cashmere and leather bags.

  18. Diana Owen says:

    Living in FL I thought cashmere was not for me but after one of your posts I bought 2 Quince cashmere ts. They are lovely and lightweight and only $30!

  19. Love Quince and have bought several things from them the last few years. Living in southwest Texas where our temps are already in the 80’s, sweaters are no longer on my radar for this season. However, I’m looking to buy more of their linen which I highly recommend!

    1. I love the linen too!

  20. Unfortunately, my skin hates any type of wool-type clothing including Quince cashmere. I do love their linen and flow knit clothing though. It’s nice to have a source for well made, stylish clothing at reasonable prices.
