I’m a Fashion Writer on a Budget, and Quince’s Cashmere Storefront Is My Secret to Affordable Luxe Pieces—From $25

Fall is my favorite season for many reasons, but the fashion is at the top of my list. I love the cozy silhouettes and fabrics, but few rival the versatility and comfort of cashmere—especially for travel essentials. 

While I wish I had a closet full of cashmere, the material comes at a steep price. That’s why I was so excited to see so many travel-ready pieces at Quince starting at just $25. The brand’s Mongolian cashmere line is teeming with stylish, buttery-soft sweaters, scarves, dresses, and more, so I rounded up the items that I’m grabbing for a few upcoming trips before they sell out.

Mongolian Cashmere Plaid Wrap

After attending multiple weddings this past spring and summer, the one accessory I was grateful to have at each event was a lightweight cashmere wrap that I could drape over my shoulders. While this was my go-to layer for formal events, I also found it to be a versatile piece that comes in handy for flights, vacations, and cold restaurants. This plaid version is an ideal choice for fall, available in gray and black plaid or ivory and gray plaid, and one shopper called the cashmere material “soft and luxurious.”

Mongolian Cashmere V-Neck Midi Sweater Dress

My secret to easy packing for any season is to rely on versatile dresses. In the fall, I reach for cozy sweater dresses that can be worn with sneakers, boots, or heels like this V-neck midi version from Quince. The dress is made from a fine-gauge knit that offers warmth without feeling bulky, which is essential for fluctuating weather. 

Mongolian Cashmere Full-Zip Hoodie

While opting for a cashmere matching set for travel days might seem over-the-top, I like that this hoodie and sweatpants set will help me feel polished and comfortable on busy travel days. The zip-up has more than 3,700 glowing reviews from shoppers who ensure that it is a “wardrobe staple,” adding that it can be worn as a “light fall jacket” or “cozy layer in the winter.” 

Mongolian Cashmere Cardigan Sweater

I might still be waiting for fall’s promised colder weather, but that doesn’t mean I’m holding off on wearing sweaters. During this transitional period, I find myself reaching for lightweight cardigans that can be layered over a tank top and worn open, just like this style from Quince. The cardigan sweater is “very versatile and extremely comfortable,” per one customer, and it comes in six fall-ready colors: red, tan, brown, navy, black, and gray.
