What to Buy at Quince

I’ve been shopping Quince for years now, long before it became one of the internet’s favorite brands to recommend. Like a lot of people, I was skeptical at first. The promise of high-quality wardrobe staples at prices that seemed almost too good to be true felt a little hard to believe.

But piece by piece, Quince won me over.

Over the years, I’ve ordered linen, cotton, cashmere, leather bags, and I’ve been consistently impressed with the quality, especially considering the price. In fact, there are several Quince pieces I reach for so often that if something happened to them tomorrow, I’d reorder them without thinking twice.

That said, I don’t buy everything they make. I tend to stick to what I think they do best: clothing and leather bags. Those are the categories where I’ve had the most consistent experience, and the ones I recommend most confidently. I did just order one of their swimsuits, though, so I’ll report back after I’ve had a chance to wear it.

Another nice improvement since I first published this guide is that Quince is rolling out expanded its size range. Not everything has a plus option but many of its most popular styles are now available plus sizes (I noted them below) and there are a few petite options.

There is still plenty of summer and warm weather ahead. Whether you have a vacation coming up, a few weekends away, or you just want a couple of fresh pieces to carry you through the rest of July, August and early September, these are the Quince pieces I think are genuinely worth buying. They’re well-priced, well-made, and the items I keep reaching for.

What to Buy at Quince

Shop All My Recommendations in ShopMy

100% European Linen Structured Blazer

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

Finding a well-made linen blazer for under $100 is rare. Finding one that’s fully lined in cotton is almost unheard of.

This blazer has a classic, tailored silhouette with a notched lapel, single-button closure, and functional pockets. The cotton lining gives it enough structure to feel polished while still being lightweight enough for warm weather.

I love it thrown over a tank with white jeans for dinner on a cool summer night, or paired with the matching shorts for an easy summer suit that looks much more expensive than it is.

Price: $90.00
Colors: Flax, White, French Blue, Black, Blue Pinstripe, plus seasonal colors
Sizes: XS–XL

Fit: True to size with a tailored fit. Size up if you prefer a more relaxed look or plan to layer underneath.

Shop: 100% European Linen Structured Blazer, $90

100% European Linen Long Sleeve Shirt

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 or shorts for an easy weekend look or with slim trousers for a more casual work day.

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.

Shop: 100% European Linen Long Sleeve Shirt, $42 | Plus: $52

100% Organic Cotton Poplin Zip-Front Midi Dress

100% Organic Cotton Poplin Zip-Front Midi Dress, $70

This is the kind of dress that does a lot of work with very little effort. The clean silhouette and zip-front detail make it feel a little more interesting than your typical cotton midi, but it’s still incredibly easy to wear.

I love it because you can dress it up or down depending on what the day calls for. Wear it with simple sandals for sightseeing or lunch, then add a wedge and a few gold accessories for dinner. It’s also an excellent travel piece because one dress can cover so many occasions.

Price: $70.00
Colors: Black
Sizes: XS–XL

Fit: True to size with a defined waist and an easy, flattering shape.

Shop: 100% Organic Cotton Poplin Zip-Front Midi Dress, $70

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.. 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 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.

Shop: 100% Organic Cotton Poplin Long Sleeve Shirt at Quince, $39.90 | Plus: $49.90

Mongolian Cashmere Tee

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

This was the first piece I ever ordered from Quince, and it completely lived up to the hype. It’s soft, lightweight, breathable, and refined enough to elevate even the simplest outfit.

What I appreciate most about Quince’s cashmere is that it gives women with real-life budgets access to a little everyday luxury.

This is a true buy now, wear all year piece that you’ll reach for again and again.

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

Fit is true to size with a relaxed but not oversized silhouette.

Shop: Mongolian Cashmere Tee at Quince, $44.90 | Plus: $54.90

100% Organic Cotton Polo Sweater

Quince 100% Organic Cotton Polo Sweater in Speckled Beige Ivory Stripe
100% Organic Cotton Polo Sweater, $49.90

I love this sweater. It’s slightly preppy and classic. It is soft, breathable, and a great option for 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.

Shop: 100% Organic Cotton Polo Sweater, $49.90

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.

Shop: 100% European Linen Pleated Trouser, $52 Available in short or regular length. | Plus Size: $62

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

Note: the shade Flax, looks sloppy in person, skip it.

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

Shop: 100% European Linen Patch Pocket Wide Leg Pants, $52

100% European Linen Scoop Neck Midi Dress

100% Organic Cotton Gauze Tiered Maxi Dress, $59.50

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: $59.50 Colors: Red, Navy, Tan, Black and additional options Sizes: XS to XL

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

Shop: 100% Organic Cotton Gauze Tiered Maxi Dress, $59.50 | Plus Size: $69.90

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.

Shop the 100% European Linen Short Sleeve Popover Top, $42

100% European Linen Maxi Skirt

Quince 100% European Linen Maxi Skirt in Deep Navy
100% European Linen Maxi Skirt, $49.90

This is a fun piece to add of for spring and summer, especially if you are looking for an alternative to shorts. Great for every day, and will mix and match well on vacation.

I like this with a simple tee, a short sleeve cashmere sweater or a boatneck top.

Price: $49.90 Colors: Classic Mini Gingham, Flax, Black, Taupe Brown Gingham, Deep Navy Sizes: XS to XL

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

I love Quince! All of your recommendation are great! I tried their leather woven ballet flats. Wonderful. You did leave out their Washable silk. Wonderful in dresses and skirts!

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!
