A harsh reality we have all come to know: When something sounds too good to be true, it maybe probably usually is. So when affordable luxury brand Quince began popping up everywhere (think: IG, TikTok, streaming ads—yeah...everywhere), I initially dismissed it as targeted spon-con luring me to spend money on another brand that overpromises. But the many TikToks eventually got to me (as they always do), and I caved and decided to test out Quince's pieces for myself. And, not to be dramatic, but my life is forever changed.
My struggle to find a classic, high-quality, yet affordable dress for last year's marathon of wedding invites led me to scour Google in search of the perfect wedding guest dress. That's when I decided to finally order Quince's viral $80 100 percent silk, washable slip dress. And the rest was history. I've since become obsessed and have pleaded with my friends/family/Cosmo colleagues to give Quince a chance, and guess what? Those who did (s/o mom, grandma, and fellow editors) are in love, so here I am today, writing this piece to introduce you, dear reader, to the magic that is Quince. But first, lemme give you a bit of context...
What is Quince?
Quince is a direct-to-consumer clothing and home brand that offers quality pieces (hi, leather, cashmere, silk!) for affordable prices. The brand is known for its minimalist vibe and carries pieces and products that are made to last for years to come. Quince has everything from locally sourced leather and Mongolian cashmere to top-notch Japanese knives for significantly lower prices than you'd typically find at competing brands.
Our top picks from Quince:

Clothing
Ah, the dress that started it all for me, and one of Quince's best-selling pieces that has racked up over 2,000 five-star reviews, including yours truly. Available in 17 colors (and new floral designs!)—all made with 100 percent mulberry silk—this bb has a shiny, satin finish, as well as a *slightly* more fitted waist that I find makes the dress drape beautifully. Oh, and the best part? It's completely machine washable.
- Material: 100% mulberry silk
- Sizes: XS-XL* (*also available here in 1X-3X)
- Colors: 15* (*available in 3 colors in 1X-3X)
Glowing Customer Review: "Really nice quality and very versatile—can use as is or with a sweater and looks so flattering. Soft fabric and washes well; price unbeatable for silk."
Editor Review
I'm obsessed with the delicate lil spaghetti straps and slightly fitted waist that hugs my body in the best way. The silk doesn't cling either, which I found to be such a common problem with other slip dresses.

Don't know what to wear? Throw on these staple pleated trousers. Jeans are uncomfortable; skirts are a pain, but trousers? They never disappoint. These are available in sizes 0 to 16, a variety of inseams, and are complete with an elastic back waist for a little extra comfort. Plus, they're basically wrinkle-resistant, which makes them a game-changer for packing purposes, and you know, when you decide you don't have time to hang or fold them. The usual.
- Material: 97% recycled polyester, 3% spandex
- Sizes: 0-16; Inseam 28, 30, 32
- Colors: Navy, Olive, Black, Sand
Glowing Customer Review: "I purchased the stretch crepe pleated wide-leg pants in both the green and the olive and the sand color- both are beautiful. They are comfortable and high quality. Pleated pants sometimes look frumpy on me because I am short (~5'3") but these look sleek and fashionable."
Editor Review
Peep the perfectly fitted waist of these black trousers. The magic lies in the discreet cinched waistband in the back to guarantee the best fit on each wearer.
Quick PSA: this linen skirt is always sold out, so if you see it in stock, snag it quickly! Okay, now, onto the review. I legit can't say enough good things about this skirt. I am constantly getting compliments, and it has easily become one of my most worn pieces of clothing this summer. I also think it is beyond chic, can be dressed up or down, and makes the perfect travel piece—s/o to my Euro summer trip, don't @me when you see this bb all over my IG.
- Material: 100% linen
- Sizes: XS-XL
- Colors: Sand, Chocolate, Black
Glowing Customer Review: "I absolutely love this. Would have paid double. I got so many compliments on it, and it is perfect for an easy summer outfit."

Editor Review
Look at how breezy and stun this linen skirt is. I'm particularly obsessed with the thicker waistband and the slit that adds an extra touch and some nice movement.
Is it just me, or does every single athleisure brand seem like it costs an arm and a leg?! (I blame the ~trendy~ wellness industry.) Anyway, these leggings are buttery soft—as in I don't wanna take them off for a week soft—have a stretch that can handle all kinds of movin' and groovin', and a quick-dry, moisture-wicking finish.
Take it from Cosmo editor Corinne Sullivan: "Finding a pair of leggings that aren't too compressive but actually stay in place is tough, but Quince nailed it with these. I have the Ultra-Form High Rise Legging in black and forest green, and I love the buttery-soft fabric (as well as the shorter inseam option!!)."
- Material: 78% Nylon, 22% Spandex
- Sizes: XS-XL; Inseam 25 & 28
- Colors: 8
Glowing Customer Review: "These are so so comfy. I love that they feel both supportive yet not so compressed they’re uncomfortable. Can’t wait for the green ones to come back in stock in my size!"
Wear this 100-percent cotton open-knit cover-up at the beach, the beach bar, or even out 'n about with some cutie undergarments to rock this year's sheer trend. The halter neck adds a lil coverage in the front, but don't you worry, there's a party in the back thanks to the surprise open low-back.
- Material: 100% organic cotton
- Sizes: XS-XL
- Colors: 3
Glowing Customer Review: "I love how chic this cover up is. I plan on wearing it all throughout summer at the beach and pool. Has a nice weight to it while still being very breathable due to the open-knit."

If you see me wearing this cotton-tiered maxi dress way too many times this summer, let's pretend you didn't. This dress is the easiest piece to throw on for when I'm on my way to an event or work and don't know WTF to wear. Enter this tiered cotton cutie, and I'm out the door, lookin' like I spent a whole lot longer on my outfit than I actually did.
- Material: 100% organic cotton poplin
- Sizes: XS-XL
- Colors: 9
Glowing Customer Review: "I love this dress! It is flowy and breezy, but not see-through. I can wear this to work or on a summer weekend, and I love its versatility. I bought the dress because of the beautiful, subtle stripes. It is feminine and very comfortable."
Finding a denim jacket that looks vintage, has that perfect oversized-but-won't-drown-you fit, and looks designer without a designer price tag is damn near impossible. That's why when Quince introduced this bb, my heart skipped a beat <3. It's thick yet soft and looks really freaking cool. My tip? Order a size larger than normal for that on-trend, boxier look.
- Material: 100% organic cotton
- Sizes: XS-XL
- Colors: Indigo Blue
Glowing Customer Review: "Like all my other Quince pieces, this jacket feels very well made, and I look forward to wearing this pretty much year-round where I live. I’ll have this forever."
If this isn't the first time you've been introduced to Quince, I'm willing to bet that what drew you in was this cashmere sweater. It's pretty much the product I use to convince my friends to try out the brand. A beautiful, timeless cashmere crewneck sweater (available in 21 colors!) for only fifty freaking dollars?! Jaw drop.
Take it from Cosmo's lifestyle editor Hannah Chubb: "My mom loves cashmere (she's a classy gal), so I gave Quince's cashmere sweaters a try for a Christmas present for her. I was a little nervous because they were so much more affordable than I expected, but they were g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s and no different than the super $$$ cashmere pieces I've bought in the past. In fact, they were such good quality I ended up buying her another one in another color!"
- Material: 100% Grade-A Mongolian cashmere
- Sizes: XS-XL* (*also available here in 1X-3X)
- Colors: 21* (*available in 6 colors in 1X-3X)
Glowing Customer Review: "Rich and luxurious without the $300 price tag—I ordered many colors and I'm ordering more as we speak."

I cannot tell you how long I have been looking for a cardi with the chunky detailing and oversized fit this one has, so as soon as I got it, this super-giant, super-cozy cable knit cardigan became a staple in my wardrobe. I love it because even though it's wonderful for winter months (I wore mine in Switzerland during the Christmas markets), it's also great to wear over a bathing suit or on a summer night, thanks to its airy design.
- Material: 100% organic cotton
- Sizes: XS-XL
- Colors: 6
Glowing Customer Review: "This is exactly the sweater I was hoping for. Perfectly oversized and so very comfortable."
Editor Review
Tell me that after seeing this on IRL you don't wanna just wrap yourself up in its oversized chunkiness. Yup, you can't. It's also the perfect extra layer for chilly offices.
Wanna feel bougie as hell? Get yourself some silk jammies. Ever since I had my first night's sleep in these pajamas, I can attest that I know the difference between good sleep and good sleep. Silk is naturally temperature-regulating, meaning I don't wake up hot and sweaty, and the beauty editor in me also wants to add that silk is incredible for your hair and skin, FYI. Oh, and I'd be remiss not to mention that you can totally wear these beauties out 'n about—just add a lil blazer, or, ahem, the $50 cashmere sweater.
- Material: 100% mulberry silk
- Sizes: XS-XL
- Colors: Charcoal, Black, Indigo
Glowing Customer Review: "Oh my goodness! Why did I wait so long? Ok Washed silk, yes, you know...the fabric feels AMAZING. I machine wash gently and air dry. Drying time is so fast...anyway, this cami feels like you are wearing nothing and has two adjustable places on the back straps so that you can wear it with out flashing anyone."

A white cotton button-up is my go-to in any sitch. Need a look for your presentation? Yup. Meeting the parents, going on a date, or running a few errands? Check, check, and check. It's basically this decade's LBD, and you can never have too many—especially at this price. Plus, it's another one of Cosmo editor Corinne's faves: "I wanted a button down that felt as crisp as my percale sheets but still looked casual—and this is it. I stuck to my usual size, and it's *just* the right amount of oversized to look chic rather than sloppy."
- Material: 100% organic cotton poplin
- Sizes: XS-XL
- Colors: White, Light Blue Stripe, Navy, Black
Glowing Customer Review: "I've been looking for a new white blouse for a while and finally found it! Looks and feels great and definitely perfect for spring. Quince is my go-to for everything now!"
A cashmere and cotton dress for $60?! Nope, this is not a drill. Crafted with a blend of cotton, eco-friendly viscose, and a touch of cashmere, this boat neckline and plisse rib detailed dress can be worn to the office with a blazer or paired with a leather jacket for date night. It's basically the most versatile dress, and for that price tag, you bet I'm here for it.
- Material: 65% organic cotton, 32% ecovero viscose, 3% cashmere
- Sizes: XS-XL
- Colors: Olive, Black, Heather Oatmeal
Glowing Customer Review: "The fabric of this dress is soft and luxurious, draping flatteringly over the body. The size and length are true to size and the material is high quality and worth the price."
These are legit the only underwear I wear. I'm not kidding—when I first ordered a set (that comes with six pairs!) because my typical favorite brand was out of stock, I never looked back. I am picky picky when it comes to undies: I don't want to feel like I'm wearing any, the waistline can't dig in, they have to be breathable, and there can't be any panty lines—i.e., very few make the cut. To my disbelief, these checked all the boxes.
- Material: Body-76% nylon, 24% spandex; Gusset-100% cotton
- Sizes: XS-XL
- Colors: 5
Glowing Customer Review: "I normally wouldn’t write a review about something as boring as underwear, but WOW. I feel like underwear either feels like nothing but won’t stay in place or it’s a bit squeezy but stays in place. These feel like nothing and you don’t see them, but they fit like a glove and stay perfectly in place. I want to throw out everything else and only buy these. So comfortable, so amazing"

I think this is my new favorite workout/errand-running outfit. Not only is it totally buttery soft, moisture-wicking, and super stretchy like most of Quince's athleisure collection, but it's probably the easiest I-look-put-together-but-I-did't-actually-try-outfit there is.
- Material: 78% Nylon, 22% Spandex
- Sizes: XS-XL
- Colors: Black, Navy, Forest Green
Glowing Customer Review: "I LOVE this jumpsuit so much that I bought two (in different colors). I love wearing them for Zumba classes and overall active use."
