Wondering if Quince is legit or worth it? I placed two orders with Quince over the past couple of years—here’s everything you need to know before buying.
From cashmere sweaters to linen pants, I’ve tested several pieces from Quince firsthand. Below, you’ll find quick takeaways, close-up photos of the materials, and a detailed Quince review including sizing, fabric care, quality, and my overall experience as a repeat customer.
- Good value for the price
- High-quality materials: cashmere, cotton poplin, linen
- Cashmere shrinks in the wash – dry clean or hand-wash only
- Classic, wearable silhouettes
- Sizing can be inconsistent—consider sizing down
- I would order again (and have!)

Quince Fabrics: What I Bought & How They Wore Over Time
I’ve purchased items for myself, my husband, and my son, including:
- Poplin cotton skirt (thick and crisp)
- Linen pants (breathable and lightweight)
- Cashmere sweater (soft and luxe, but shrinks if washed!)
- Athletic shorts + dry-fit tees (comfortable, moisture-wicking)
- Cotton tank: not great, it didn’t retain its shape
The quality is pretty consistent across most categories—materials feel elevated and better than what you’d expect at this price point.
My lightweight cashmere sweater shrank nearly two sizes in the wash. It’s still wearable (and I still wear it weekly), but I recommend dry cleaning or gently hand washing cashmere pieces from Quince to avoid shrinkage and pilling.
The photos are pre-wash. You can see the knit is really lightweight with a fair amount of space between the stitching. After a wash, those airy spaces disappeared and my sweater is about two sizes smaller. Note to the wise, don’t machine wash the cashmere.
A closeup of Quince manufacturing: good quality for the price range, and the pieces look more expensive than they cost.
Aside from the fabrics, a closeup of the manufacturing looks clean–no loose threads or uneven stitching. Combined with the high quality materials, I consider Quince a good quality for the price range. I’ve purchased items that cost more, and have worse quality.
Styles notes: Quince styles are not super modern, but timeless and easy to style.
I wouldn’t consider Quince “on top” of the trends. They’re not a fast-fashion retailer. If you’re looking for in-the-moment fashion, check out this MANGO review for some unique fashion pieces, or shop your staples at Zara.
If you’re looking for trendy or fashion-forward styles, Quince might feel a little plain. But if you want quality basics that won’t go out of style, their pieces are easy to mix and match.
Fit & Sizing Guide: What to Know Before You Buy
Quince sizing can be hit-or-miss:
- Poplin skirt (XS): fit loose—barely stays up, but I kept it
- Cashmere sweater (M): fit perfectly until I machine-washed it
- Tank tops: a bit loose and didn’t retain shape
- Linen pants: good fit, size down if between sizes
Tip: Try a size smaller than your usual, especially for bottoms and tops with stretch.
Would I buy Quince again? Absolutely.
Quince is on my quick-grab rack, I wear the pieces (even the shrunken cashmere sweater) on the weekly. Despite the minor issues (like cashmere care and sizing variance), Quince is one of my go-to places for affordable, high-quality wardrobe staples. I check in every season for updated core items.
Don’t expect luxe packaging or extra frills. Just simple, well-made clothes for women, men, and kids—at fair prices.
