Quince Review: Affordable High-Quality Clothing Gift Ideas for Christmas

Quince is a brand that I’ve shared a few times on the blog. If you’re new to them, they are an affordable brand that offers quality basics through a direct factory-to-consumer model. By cutting out middleman costs, Quince is able to offer quality pieces for as low as $40 versus competitors. If you’re on the hunt for affordable high-quality clothing gifts this year, I’ve put together a round-up of products that I tried and loved the most! Hint: They sell much more than just $50 cashmere sweaters, which I no longer purchase. Read why HERE.

Top Quince Picks Under $50

  • Australian Shearling Scuff Slipper: My feet are always cold in the winter. And while I’ve been tempted to pull the trigger on the Ugg Scuffette, this pair is nearly identical for half the price! Comes in the classic chestnut color. I own the Light Grey color, and it runs true to size. Luxuriously warm, and doesn’t shed! These go out of stock so fast, so also keep an eye out for their similar style: the Moccasin Slipper.
  • Neoprene Belt Bag / Phone Sling: I am obsessed with these new mini bags, and think they would make the perfect thoughtful gift for someone who is active, and on-the-go! I bought as a part of a gift for a friend this year.

  • Cotton Fisherman Crew: A classic that is hard to not love! This sweater comes in so many different colors, and it easily machine washable. More recently, Quince also carries a striped version, which looks super classy in all combinations!
  • Cotton Boxy Cropped Cardigan: Throwing another knit option to the mix, this cropped cardigan is quite roomy and great for layering. I love the speckled beige one I own, and it’s my go-to on the weekends with a pair of leggings! I am wearing a S here.

Affordable High-Quality Clothing Gifts Under $75

  • Cotton Knit Blazer: This piece is a J. Crew cult-classic, but Quince does it just as well for only $69.90. It comes in all the classic colors, but also brighter tones like Dark Red & Ginger. Fabric is thick, and sturdy. Size down.
  • Eco-Knit Sweater Dress: I don’t avoid bodycon styles in the wintertime since they can look unflattering with layers underneath. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how flattering the fit was on this dress. The ribbed design is relaxed enough to hug your curves, without feeling constraining. Also the side slit helps with movement! I am wearing a size S.
  • Merino Wool Mock Neck Sweater: In full transparency, I haven’t tried this style myself. However, I love that it’s an additional option to cashmere if you are looking for an affordable high-quality piece. I love the wider sleeves, and fine gauge to correct for itchiness.

Gift Ideas Under $100

  • Cotton Fisherman Throw: Don’t sleep on the home section at Quince! This throw blanket is new to the catalog, but had I waited, I probably would have gotten this one instead of the one I currently have from Parachute. It is thick, cozy, and makes a great housewarming gift!
  • Washable Silk Maxi Skirt: I love the luxurious drape of this one, and the many colors it comes in. In the wintertime, my favorite combination is pairing this one with their cotton crew neck, and a pair of tall boots for the days when you want a more elevated look!
  • Mini Crescent Shoulder Bag: I own a different style from Quince in their ‘Mink’ color and love the leather quality. This new style is under $100, comes in 3 lovely neutral colors, and has adjustable straps.

Affordable High-Quality Quince Gift Ideas Under $150

  • Leather Top Handle Circle Bag: You really have to dig for this one, but I am so glad I stumbled upon this find! I’ve been looking for a round bag for a long time, and love the quality of this one. Comes with two-sided zippered compartments, and a removable/adjustable strap.
  • Carry-On Hard Shell Suitcase: Comes in so many colors, with amazing reviews. I own a similar one from Monos, but would definitely purchase my next one from Quince if I ever need to replace it because the price is unbeatable!

Affordable High-Quality Clothing Gifts: A Summary

You can shop all of my recommendations on my Quince ‘wish list. Below is a shoppable collage of some of my top picks as well. Have a wonderful holiday!
