Summary: If you want to create a responsible, minimalist wardrobe without spending thousands of dollars, Quince is the shop for you. Their price point canโt be beat when looking for sustainable essentials, even if they might not last forever.
What I Loved:
- Quince offers tons of affordable closet staples for those who appreciate a minimalist approach to fashion
- There’s a wide selection of responsibly made and earth-conscious fabrics
- You’ll find trendy and wearable styles that are quick to become everyday staples
Things To Keep In Mind:
- Overall, Quinceโs fit and fabric match their price point
- The brandโs pieces are thinner than typical wool or cashmere and may stretch or rip over time without proper care
You might know Quince for the $50 cashmere it offers to all family members (even kids!). And thatโs not to mention its affordable wool, leather, washable silk, and linen goods, as well as lines of shoes, accessories, and even homewares. The brand has become a one-stop shop for all your wardrobe and home needs, combining the convenience of an online marketplace with the thoughtfulness youโd expect from a small, sustainable retailer.
This makes the daunting task of creating a thoughtful wardrobe much easier since Quince offers all the basics at just the right price point. The minimal approach is a great reminder that it doesnโt take much to have a conscious wardrobe โ just a handful of timeless pieces. This was my goal in reviewing Quince: refresh my winter wardrobe with easy-to-style pieces and determine whether Quince was the real deal along the way. With all the deals they offer, could they really maintain a high standard of quality?
I was optimistic because of their unique factory-direct model. Quince partners only with ethical factories worldwide and ships directly from them, eliminating the middleman. Their factories are mid-size, family-run, and share the same vision of sustainability, transparency, and ethical practices. This allows the brand to cut costs and be more transparent, too. I was excited to try the brand because of their other commitments, including eliminating plastic with compostable packaging and using sustainable, earth-friendly fabrics like organic linen and cotton.

Unboxing & first impressions
The day my clothes arrived was a very good one. I was thrilled to see a large, black stuffed bag with โQuinceโ written on the outside on my doorstepโbut because it didn’t say whether it was compostable, I mightโve opted for a large box instead so I could recycle it.
“Quinceโs pieces feel extra delicate and need gentle care.”
Nevertheless, inside the bag, each clothing item was neatly wrapped in, yes, compostable packaging. The way the clothes were beautifully folded in bags was a highlight. It made the unboxing experience feel elevated. I first noticed the softness of each piece as I took it out. So soft and delicate that I treated them like fine glassware. I also noticed that the pieces didn’t have any wrinkles because of how they were folded, a magic trick that made them ready-to-wear straight out of the bag.
As I tried on the clothes, my first thought for each was, โI’ll be wearing this a lot.โ However, I did notice that the wool and cashmere felt thinner than other pieces made of the same fabrics in my closet. It turns out, this thinness is a sign of quality. But that also means Quinceโs pieces feel extra delicate and need gentle care. As with any delicate fabric, how we care for our clothing is key.
Mongolian Cashmere Wrap Sweater
Outside of my newbornโs skin, this lightweight sweater might be the softest thing Iโve ever touched. Although it took me a while to figure out how to wear the wrapโthe belt is designed to go in front instead of the backโonce I did, I fell in love with the waist-accentuating detail in the front while the back is left loose. You can also take the belt off and wear it as an open cardigan.
The silhouette is extremely sophisticated. I feel wiser in this sweater and am reminded of my grandma’s grace and modesty. You can easily dress it up or down. I wore it at night with jeans and boots and felt put together yet casual. I ordered a small size, and I love the fit. But if you want it looser, Iโd size up. Though Quince doesn’t carry the exact style of wrap sweater any longer, you can still find tons of beautiful and unique cashmere sweaters on their site.
Mongolian Cashmere Straight Leg Pant | $120
To complete the set with the sweater, I ordered these pants. It’s the perfect WFH winter look. I feel like pure luxury in them. The pants have front and back pockets, making them feel less like sweatpants and more like cozy trousers.
This set is also perfect for travel, and Iโm excited to wear it on an airplane. My only complaint is that the pants are too long on my 5โ4โ frame. I have to roll them so that the delicate cashmere doesnโt drag under my feet when walking around my house. I also sized down to an XS, and Iโm glad I did. The cashmere stretches and loosens a bit with wear, so theyโre baggier at the end of the day.
Baby Alpaca-Wool Cropped Cardigan | $60
This is one of those pieces I want to wear every day. A closet staple! I love the balloon sleeves, big buttons, buttery-soft wool, and slightly cropped, boxy fit. It adds a touch of sophistication to any look, whether running errands or going out to eat.
My one complaint is that I wish it was thicker for winter wear. Iโll wear it more often as a light cover-up in spring and summer. On warmer winter days, Iโll definitely wear it too. As opposed to the Mongolian cashmere set, I wouldnโt wear this sweater for lounging around the house. It’s very delicate, and the wool is a magnet for all my dog’s hair. That said, the price point is perfect for this piece.
Tencel Jersey Wide Leg Jumpsuit | $50
As a self-appointed jumpsuit collector, I had to order this jumpsuit that Iโd admittedly been eyeing for a while. I live in jumpsuits year-round. Theyโre an easy throw-on for teaching yoga, running around with my toddler, or working from home. The fabric is flouncy and makes you want to skip and spin around. You can also easily layer by wearing a shirt or sweater over top.
I found the wide-leg detail super cute and flattering, but I wish Iโd ordered an XS for a tighter fit around the bust. The top doesnโt hold me in as much as Iโd like; for example, I wouldnโt be able to do yoga in this jumpsuit because my bust simply wouldnโt stay in. It would help a lot if the straps could be adjustable, especially since the Tencel fabric is heavy and the straps will pull over time. I love this price point for a wearable, everyday jumpsuitโjust keep your activities low-impact. ๐
Responsible Down Cropped Puffer Jacket | $140
*Tosses all other jackets out the door and only wears this one.* This jacket might just be my new favorite thing in my entire wardrobe. The quality is amazing for the price. It’s so warm and cozy and not too cropped for cold days. I also love that Quinceโs down fabrics are sourced responsibly. My favorite thing about this jacket, though, might be the storm cuffs with thumbholes. This design detail is a must for living in Colorado.
“This jacket might just be my new favorite thing in my entire wardrobe.”
All that aside, I do have one big complaint: The pockets are way too small! In winter, my jacket doubles as my purse, and I use the pockets to keep all my things in. Unfortunately, with this jacket, you can barely fit a phone. The outside pockets are very shallow (too shallow to fit my phone!) and have a snap button closure. Luckily, thereโs a hidden pocket inside the jacket that fits my phone and maybe a credit card. Other than that, I adore this jacket, and Iโm so happy to have it in my winter arsenal.
So, is Quince the real deal?
Quince is my new go-to whenever I need a closet refresh for an effortless staple. Iโve already purchased a cashmere sweater for my husband, and I have my eye on a few spring pieces. The brand is perfect for those with a minimalist approach to fashion who are passionate about how their wardrobe is made without wanting to spend too much. And this minimalism extends to the designโQuince isn’t for those looking for bold silhouettes or prints. Most of their clothing is neutral with the occasional pop of color, which suits me just fine.
In the end, the brandโs shipping and returns policy sealed the deal for me. Standard shipping is always free! You can return or exchange items, including bedding, for a full refund within 365 days. This generous policy is another way Quince is making buying responsibly made clothes easy to access, and Iโm so happy they do. Unfortunately for our overseas friends, Quince does not yet ship outside of the United States and Canada. The next time you find yourself searching for a closet staple, try Quince. For me, the brand did not disappoint.
