What to Buy at Quince

Quince has been a reader favorite for a few years now and has become a staple in many of our wardrobes.

Built on a direct-to-consumer model, working with the same factories that produce for luxury labels. That means well-made pieces in natural fabrics at a fraction of the price, with no middlemen and no markups.

And Quince does spring well. Their linen collection is the obvious starting point, but the silk, cotton, and cashmere options are just as strong. Everything in this roundup is made from natural fibers. Clean lines, breathable fabrics, pieces that work in a real wardrobe.

One thing worth knowing: Quince does not have sales. Their prices are what they are, and that is the point. Instead of inflating prices to mark them down later, they keep their prices low year-round. What you see is what you pay.

In terms of fit, sizing runs true across most of their line. Size up in blazers if you plan to layer, and size down if you are between sizes in a dress or skirt and want a cleaner line. Their customer reviews include a lot of real photos, so I always recommend reading through them before ordering, especially for bottoms.

What to Buy at Quince for Spring

What to Buy at Quince for Women Over 40

100% Leather Cropped Zip-Front Jacket

Quince 100% Leather Cropped Zip-Front Jacket in True Black
100% Leather Cropped Zip-Front Jacket, $250

This is one of those “cropped” jackets, but it’s not really cropped. Crafted from 100% top grain sheep leather that is lightweight and soft, not stiff or heavy the way cheaper leather jackets feel, with strong shoulders, a classic collar, zip closure. It is the kind of piece that instantly sharpens whatever you put it over.

For spring it works as a contrast over any of the dresses and skirts in this roundup, which is exactly how it is styled in the feature image. Wear it over a silk or linen maxi skirt and a simple tee, or obviously jeans.

True Black is the most versatile color, but it also comes in a warm brown if you want something a little softer.

Price: $250.00 Colors: True Black, Brown, Birch White Sizes: XS to XL

Fit is true to size with a cropped, slightly structured silhouette. If you are between sizes, go up for a more relaxed fit over layers.

Shop – 100% Leather Cropped Zip-Front Jacket, $250

100% European Linen Structured Blazer

Quince 100% European Linen Structured Blazer in Deep Navy
100% European Linen Structured Blazer, $90

This is the piece to start with if you are new to Quince. It has a notched lapel, single-button closure, functional pockets, and a cotton lining that makes it feel polished and substantial. The linen gives it a natural texture that reads as elevated without being fussy.

It bridges everything. Wear it over a tee and wide-leg pants or jeans for a put-together casual look, or make a cute summer suit by pairing it with shorts.

$90 for a fully lined linen blazer is crazy good.

Price: $90.00 Colors: Flax, White, French Blue, Black, Blue Pinstripe, and additional seasonal options Sizes: XS to XL

Fit is true to size with a tailored silhouette. Size up if you plan to layer or prefer more room through the shoulders.

Shop the 100% European Linen Structured Blazer, $90

100% European Linen Long Sleeve Shirt

Quince 100% European Linen Long Sleeve Shirt in Blue Pinstripe
100% European Linen Long Sleeve Shirt, $42

A classic, clean linen button-down with a relaxed silhouette that works tucked in, half-tucked, or worn open over a tank. The fabric is 100% European linen, so it breathes well and gets softer with every wash.

Wear it with white linen pants for an easy weekend look or with slim trousers for the office. For spring, Blue Pinstripe and White are the colorways worth leading with.

Price: $42.00 Colors: White, Blue Pinstripe, Flax, French Blue, Black, and additional seasonal shades Sizes: XS to XL

Fit is true to size with a relaxed, slightly oversized feel. Size down for a more fitted look.

100% Organic Cotton Poplin Long Sleeve Shirt

Quince 100% Organic Cotton Poplin Long Sleeve Shirt in Delta Blue Double Stripe
100% Organic Cotton Poplin Long Sleeve Shirt, $39.90

As an alternative, their organic cotton poplin has a crispness that linen does not, which makes it more office-appropriate and polished. It is lightweight, breathable, and works across a wide range of occasions.

Delta Blue Double Stripe is my favorite color but you can’t go wrong with a solid white, black or navy. I like it with tailored pants, jeans, or even shorts.

Price: $39.90 Colors: Delta Blue Double Stripe, Classic White, Hudson Stripe, Navy, Light Blue Stripe, Black, Ballet Slipper Sizes: XS to XL

Fit is true to size with a classic, clean line.

Mongolian Cashmere Tee

Quince Mongolian Cashmere Tee in Oatmeal
Mongolian Cashmere Tee, $44.90

A cashmere short-sleeve tee for under $50 is a no brainer. It is lightweight and breathable enough for spring, soft enough to elevate the simplest outfit, and versatile enough to wear tucked into linen trousers or super cute with tailored shorts.

Price: $44.90 Colors: Ivory, Heather Grey, Black, Oatmeal, Butter Yellow, Mauve Mist, Minimal Pink, Camel, Brown, True Navy, Everglade Green, and additional shades Sizes: XS to XL, also available in 1X to 3X

100% Organic Cotton Polo Sweater

Quince 100% Organic Cotton Polo Sweater in Speckled Beige Ivory Stripe

I love this sweater. It’s slightly preppy and classic. It is soft, breathable, and a great option for spring days when you want a light layer without anything structured.

Price: $49.90 Colors: Speckled Beige/Ivory Stripe, Offwhite/Black Stripe, Shell Pink, Redwood Brown, Herb Green, and additional options Sizes: XS to XL

Fit is relaxed with a slightly cropped silhouette. Size up if you prefer a longer hem or plan to tuck it in.

100% European Linen Pleated Trouser

Quince 100% European Linen Pleated Trouser in Black
100% European Linen Pleated Trouser, $52

I don’t always like a pleated front trouser but they make this feel more elevated than a basic linen pant. It has a more considered silhouette with structure through the hip and a clean, fluid line through the leg that flatters a wide range of body types. The leg isn’t too wide or slim.

It works beautifully with the linen blazer and shirt for a tonal linen look, or paired with a cashmere tee and simple slides for something more relaxed.

Price: $52.00 Colors: Sand, Bayberry Olive, French Blue, Flax, Black Sizes: XS to XL

Fit is true to size with a mid-rise, relaxed-through-the-leg silhouette. Read the reviews before ordering if you are between sizes, as several customers note the waistband fits snug.

100% European Linen Patch Pocket Wide Leg Pants

Quince 100% European Linen Patch Pocket Wide Leg Pants in Olive
100% European Linen Patch Pocket Wide Leg Pants, $52

These are a more relaxed alternative to a jean, especially nice for the warmer weather. The wide leg silhouette is easy and comfortable.

As a styling note, it’s nice to keep your top more “fitted” to balance the volume of the legs.

Price: $52.00 Colors: Flax, Bayberry Olive, Black, Deep Navy Sizes: XS to XL

Fit is relaxed and comfortable through the leg. Runs true to size.

100% European Linen Scoop Neck Midi Dress

Quince 100% European Linen Scoop Neck Midi Dress in Moonstone Blue
100% European Linen Scoop Neck Midi Dress, $84

Love this for vacation. The scoop neckline is clean and flattering, the midi length is polished (tailor as necessary), and the linen drapes beautifully without being stiff or fussy.

Moonstone Blue and Vintage Pink Chambray are the standout spring colors. Flax is the reliable neutral that will look elegant with dark brown leather accessories.

Price: $84.00 Colors: Moonstone Blue, Vintage Pink Chambray, Taupe Brown Gingham, Sky Blue Mariner Stripe, Flax, and additional options Sizes: XS to XL

Fit is true to size. If you are between sizes, go down for a cleaner line.

100% European Linen Short Sleeve Popover Top

Quince 100% European Linen Short Sleeve Popover Top in Blue Pinstripe
100% European Linen Short Sleeve Popover Top, $42

The short sleeve and popover style give this a more casual, relaxed feel than the long sleeve shirt. The fit is easy and the silhouette is clean, and it pairs seamlessly with the linen trousers and wide-leg pants already in this roundup.

Price: $42.00 Colors: Vintage Pink Chambray, Blue Pinstripe, French Blue, White Sizes: XS to XL

Fit is true to size with a relaxed popover silhouette. Works tucked in or untucked.

Fit is true to size with a relaxed, fluid silhouette. Size down if you prefer a more fitted look through the hips.

I have shopped Quince and they are a nice company to deal with. Their quality is top notch. Unfortunately they don't carry petites so I had to send back my purchase as I swam in it.

I would love to see them offer petites.

I am a recent Quince convert (purchasing items the last 18 months) and have been pleased with the selection and quality. My most recent purchase (gift to myself) was the Mongolian Oversize V-neck Sweater. I typically wear an XL but the L was perfect. I bought hubby some pants that he loves, nice enough for going out but comfortable enough for hanging in.

I have not yet ordered from Quince. How does the fit and sizing compare to other retailers?

I take a small or medium in their tops, just depending on how I want them to fit. The reviews are actually really helpful, as many of them of pictures and customers share the measurements etc. I would read them as you go to see how each on fits but generally they run true.

Thanks for your comment regarding petites! I did try some of their linen tops this summer in the smallest size and they were too large. They also were not the quality I was expecting especially after washing. Tempted by that skirt! xoxo

Please add a post on how to style a slip skirt various ways. Love the skirt, but wondering if it is flexible enough to fit in my wardrobe -- will I need separate shoes just to wear with the skirt? (especially in winter) Definitely out of my comfort zone!
