What Clothing Brand Has Great Essentials? We Found the Answer

A few weeks ago, we got a comment from a reader named Hilary: “Today’s fashion leaves me crying in fitting rooms.” Added Emily: “When I try on current trends, I feel like I’m trying to make the clothes look good, instead of the clothes making me look good.” And Rachel pointed out: “It’s hard to feel confident if I’m not comfortable in my clothes.”

We hear you! Finding high-quality staples — say, a shirtdress or simple T-shirt — can be surprisingly tough. Sure, a puff sleeve or open back can be fun, but sometimes you just want something timeless. So, I’m happy to say we’ve found the place to turn: Quince.

First off, we love Quince’s mission: to create luxury essentials at a price within reach. They work with the world’s top suppliers to make classic styles — like cotton sweaters, linen shirts and silk dresses — that are delivered straight to your door.

For example, how pretty is this swing dress? Buttons! Pintucks! Pockets! It would be great for hanging out all weekend or wearing on repeat while traveling.

Another Quince piece that our whole team loves is this washable silk blouse, with over 1,000 five-star reviews. I recently wore it to a restaurant with friends and felt effortlessly chic; the V-neck shape just fits so, so well.

For lazy summer days, I also like this relaxed T-shirt. It has just the right amount of drape, and the super soft brushed texture makes it feel slightly more dressed up. (This silk tee is lovely, too, and comes in 11 colors.)

For work, these straight-leg ponte pants feel like yoga leggings (for real) and come in seven shades. Or, if you’re in the mood for a jumpsuit, how cool is this square neck?

Finally, Quince’s pièce de résistance: their 100% organic cotton fisherman sweater. It’s ribbed and lightweight and perfect for breezy summer evenings. I want to pair it with linen shorts for fire-pit hangs or a skirt for evenings out.

Since discovering Quince I’ve been recommending them highly to everyone I know; and they take care of their customers, with free shipping and a 365-day return policy. Here are a few more looks…
