Quince, pronounced like “kwins,” is a new sustainable fashion company that is rapidly gaining popularity.  Finding affordability within sustainable fashion can at times be tricky, and slow fashion often seems to have a very wide range of price points.

However, Quince happens to have a knack for finding the perfect balance between sustainable quality and affordable pricing.  The cost of their clothing is sometimes half of what you’ll see when compared to other sustainable brands, helping you to not only shop smarter, but kinder, too. 

It’s easy to say at Swift, we have become big fans of Quince, and we’ll show you why.  As extremely fashionable basics—leggings, cashmere sweaters, and easy-to-wash silk slip dresses!—Quince clothing can be worn on a variety of different occasions, and their pieces are versatile enough for varying tastes and style.  They believe quality and luxury should be within reach and accessible to everyone.  Now, with just a little bit of scrolling,  you’ll soon realize that you’ve found your next favorite online boutique and an elevated sustainable wardrobe.

What To Know About Quince Clothing

When shopping more consciously, it’s helpful to know the mission of the brands you are shopping from.  As a fairly new fashion brand, learning more about Quince’s background is only appropriate.   They believe that high quality basics can elevate your whole being and lifestyle—especially when produced sustainably and priced affordably.  

Quince practices sustainability in various ways.  Starting with their fair business practices, Quince creates great clothing from recyclable and all-natural materials, and they choose their factories based on their practices to reduce carbon emissions. Not only that, but by the end of 2023, Quince has a goal to make their packaging 100% compostable. It’s safe to say that their production practices are the opposite of fast fashion!

Quince shows that they are thinking of their customers (aka us!) by staying true to their values of quality, sustainability, and affordability.  Most importantly, ensuring that the finer things are available to everyone!

10 Sustainable Pieces From Quince That Are Perfect For Anyone’s Closet

Not sure where to start shopping? We’ve got you covered with our top ten picks.

Cashmere Crewneck Sweater

I believe a cashmere sweater falls under one of the finer things in life.  On average, a cashmere sweater can cost between $100 to $300.  However, at Quince it is only about a sixth of that price.  (Say no more, right?) The softness of a cashmere sweater is distinct—a clothing piece that can elevate any outfit.

Quince offers this best-selling sweater in over ten different colors, but each shade is neutral enough to match with your existing wardrobe, making it easy to wear on a casual day out for errands or for your first day at a new job.  Plus, dressing cashmere down can remind you that it’s not just for fancy outfits—it’s a versatile clothing item!  We suggest wearing it with comfy sneakers, flared jeans, a wool coat, and your favorite baseball cap.  Too casual? Forget the cap and wear your favorite ankle booties instead.  Say hello to two fashionable outfits with the cashmere sweater as your centerpiece.

Silk Dress

Adding a silk dress to your wardrobe is always a good idea—but an even better one when it’s sustainably made.  Depending on your vibe, a silk dress can create many stylish looks to go from day to night.  Quince offers this dress in eight colors, but we recommend choosing from easy-to-style colors, such as black, navy blue, or deep gray.  For an everyday outfit, wear this shiny dress with loafers, a fitted white T-shirt underneath, and a cropped jacket.   For a more dressed-up look, wear your favorite long wool coat, perfect for a date or an evening out.  Top it off with your gold jewelry to complete this easy, everyday look.

Lastly, did we mention that this is a washable silk dress? That makes it easy to take care of and maintain, so you’re able to wear it for years to come!

Linen Pants

If you don’t own a pair of linen pants, consider this affordable option by Quince. They come in six different colors, ranging from bright blue to earth-toned beige, but most importantly, can be worn with many of the items you already have in your closet.  Wear these loose fitting pants with ankle boots, a puff-sleeved blouse, and a gold choker.  This outfit is great for a sunny spring day.  If you want to wear this while it’s still chilly out,  remember to layer up with tights and a warm coat.  Linen pants shouldn’t only be saved for summer vacations—find ways to wear them for every season!

Cashmere Shirt

When you think of cashmere, you may only think of sweaters and scarves, but shopping at Quince will make you think again.  They sell a short-sleeve cashmere shirt that will quickly become your new favorite top, and it’s half the price of its traditional retail counterpart.  Wear this warm top with a pair of straight-legged denim and heeled boots and accessorize with a black leather belt and gold bracelets.  For a more casual look, wear your favorite white sneakers to run your errands in style.  Quince makes cashmere so affordable that it helps you wear luxury any day.

Sustainably-Made Leggings

Sustainably-made leggings can be pricy, but Quince makes them affordable.  They are highly reviewed and one of Quince’s best-selling items—you can workout in these ultra-soft leggings or create your next go-to athleisure look.  Want a more refined look? Try making it monochrome, and we don’t just mean all black.  Play with other colors: light gray, lavender, maroon, or navy blue.  Then, style the leggings with a cropped puffer and a matching crop top. For your feet, wear your HOKAs, Nikes, Adidas, or your most comfiest sneakers you work out in.  Now, you’re set!

Sleeveless Maxi Dress

A tank maxi dress is an overlooked closet staple, but it can be worn in so many ways. And, as you can tell, Quince produces dresses that are basic, but in the best way.  They offer this long cotton dress in four colors, from basic black to a fiery red. For a modern and chic look, pair it with a turtleneck top and chunky sandals. For any hotter days coming your way, a sleeveless, turtleneck top is a more comfortable choice that gives the same effect.  Wear this maxi dress outfit for brunch with your girls or an easygoing afternoon date with your special someone.

Cotton Knit Blazer

Expand your blazer collection with this cotton one from Quince!  A cotton blazer can create two different vibes, unlike a more traditional blazer. It can either help make an outfit feel more laid-back and casual or elevate an outfit that is already casual.  For example, we love this cotton knit blazer (sized up for a looser fit) as the centerpiece of a casual athleisure outfit.  Wear it with a black graphic tee, your comfiest black leggings, and retro-style sneakers.  (We suggest New Balance or Adidas.)  Whatever you choose, this whole outfit oozes chic, comfort, and effortlessly cool. 

Ultra-Stretch Flare Pants

Flares are still in this year! These ultra-stretchy pants are perfect for your lazy days, but also when you still want to feel put together.  Just looking at them, they resemble workout pants, but there are many ways to still dress them up.  They’re a step-up from regular leggings and great to wear indoors, for errands, or when you want to be extra comfy at the office. So, to feel well-dressed in these pants, wear brightly colored loafers and a collared-cropped sweater. Accessorize accordingly with gold jewelry from your ears down to your wrists.  This will be a go-to outfit for the rest of the year!

Linen Button Dress

It’s easy to tell that we think that Quince’s dresses are practically irresistible.  This linen dress will make you feel ready for any European vacation coming your way—whether that’s taking strolls through Venice (or the famous La Rambla) or taking the photo of your dreams in front of the Eiffel Tower.  Do you see it?  I sure do.  The collared-design creates elegance, but in a simple way, which is what makes the dress perfect on its own.  For outfit inspiration, wear this dress with leather sneakers—perfect for walking in—and your favorite handbag to hold all of your travel essentials.  If you’re into it, pair it with your favorite sun hat and sunglasses.  Hello, vacation!

Easy Care Silk Top

Quince clothing is well-rounded, and their clothing always feels accessible—including this silk blouse—which can make anyone feel sexy and confident.  The sultry texture and shiny fabric will make you feel stylish in seconds.  The top even comes in over ten colors, making it hard to choose just one!  Wear this top with your favorite pair of boyfriend jeans, statement belt, heels, and a mini-handbag.  We call this outfit: “Sustainable and sexy.”   On top of being extra-fashionable, the easy wash and care will have you wearing this top and whole outfit more often than you think.
